Public Works and Government Services Canada is calling for proposals 
from engineers eligible to be registered to practice as Professional 
Engineers under licence in the Province of Ontario, to provide a range 
of civiL marine engineering services in Eastern, Central and Western 
Ontario. 

The Request for Standing Offer (RFSO) may result in the authorization 
of up to three (3) Standing Offers for each of the regions listed 
above.  Proponents are asked to submit a single proposal in response to 
the RFSO.  Proposals must indicate the proponents interest in one, 
several or all regions.  Each resultant Standing Offer will be for a 
period of three (3) years.  Canada anticipates the total value of these 
standing offers to be approximately $10,000,000.00.

The Consultant team for this Standing Offer must be capable of 
providing  a range of services as identified in the Required Services section of this RFSO document for building projects in the Ontario Region including but not limited to the following:

• Small Craft Harbour facilities
• Ferry terminal and public wharves
• Shore protections and breakwaters
• Dredging
• Timber cribwork
• Steel sheet piling
• Reinforced concrete support structures (e.g. pile caps, beams, fascia and retaining walls, wharf decks)
• Timber or steel pilework

The criteria used in the evaluation process will relate to previous 
achievements and experience of the firm; understanding of the scope of 
services; approach and methodology; and cost of service, and is more 
fully detailed in the Solicitation document.

The RFSO will be a single submission process. Proposals will be 
evaluated for both technical content and price. The proposal rankings 
will be based on 90% for technical evaluation and 10% for price. 
Standing Offer particulars are described in the RFSO.

Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these 
services for a broad variety of projects over the last five (5) years. 
In general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the basis 
of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, their 
approach and methodology to providing those services, the quality of 
their relevant experience in this area, as well as the cost of the 
provision of the services.

Firms interested in providing these services may order the Request for 
Standing Offer documents which are distributed through the Government 
Electronic Tendering Service (GETS).  Standard Terms and Conditions for 
this procurement are incorporated by reference into, and form part of
