Regional Individual Standing Offer (RISOs) for Environmental Services
Various Locations -Nova Scotia


Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a requirement to establish Regional Individual Standing Offers (RISOs) for a range of Environmental Services for federally owned properties in Nova Scotia, as per the attached Required Services (Statement of Work).   

These Environmental Services may include phased environmental site assessments, site remediation, risk assessments, compliance related work, sustainability services and environmental management systems support, and environmental impact assessments, related permitting and scientific studies (e.g. biology, oceanography, archeology).  

PWGSC is intending to issue Four (4) RISOs in response to this Request for Standing Offer (RFSO). This requirement will be evaluated in accordance with pre-set mandatory, technical and price criteria. Offers will be rated with regard to the: Proposed Team Approach and Management of Services, Past Experience of the Offeror, Senior Technical Specialist Expertise and Experience, Project Personnel Expertise and experience, as well as the proposed price of services.

The four (4) highest ranked offers will be recommended for issuance of a RISO based on ideal business distribution percentages, which have been pre-established as follows: 30% of business volume to the top ranked consultant, 27% to the second, 24% to the third and 19% to the fourth. Should we receive less than four (4) responsive offers, the values of the business distributed will be adjusted accordingly.

The period for placing call-ups and rendering services against these RISOs will be two (2) years from the date of issuance, on  an ”as and when requested basis”.  The total estimated value is estimated to be $6,900,000.00 (HSTI).  Individual call-up amounts will vary, up to a maximum of $250,000.00 (HSTI).

A standing offer is an agreement and not a contract.  Canada does not guarantee that the full amount, or that any amount, will be called-up on any resultant standing offer.
