Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a requirement to establish Regional Individual Standing Offers (RISOs) for Hazardous Material Assessment at Various Locations in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, as per the Required Services attached.

The services required under these RISOs include: Hazardous Building Materials Assessment and Inspection, Development of Hazardous Products Inventories and Management Plans, Development of Asbestos Abatement Action Plans, Development of Asbestos Management Plans, Noise Assessments, Certification of No Known Asbestos,  Development of Mould Remediation Action Plans, Development of Potable Water Assessments, Development of  Noise Assessments, Development of Scopes of Work and Contract Specifications for Hazardous Materials Assessment/Abatement/Disposal Projects, Indoor Air Quality Testing, Project Supervision, and Reporting.


PWGSC is intending to issue three (3) RISOs in response to this Request for Standing Offer (RFSO).  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, and project personnel expertise and experience, as well as the price of the services.  
  
The three (3) highest ranked offers will be recommended for issuance of a RISO based on an ideal business distribution percentage which has been pre-established as follows: 50% of business volume to the top ranked consultant, 30% of business volume to the second ranked consultant and 20% of the business volume to the third ranked consultant. Should we receive less than three (3) responsive offers, the values of the business distributed will be adjusted accordingly.

The total estimated value of these RISOs is estimated to be $1,500,000.00 (HSTI).  Individual call-up amounts will vary, up to a maximum of $100,000.00 (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.

The term for these RISOs will be three (3) years, on an "as and when requested basis."
