REQUEST FOR STANDING OFFERS - ONTARIO REGION - GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting
qualified firms and individuals with the knowledge and
experience of Geotechnical Engineering and PWGSC practices, to
submit offers for Standing Offers.  PWGSC is calling for offers
from engineers licensed or eligible to be registered to practice
as Professional Engineers under licence in the Province of
Ontario.

The Request for Standing Offer (RFSO) may result in the
authorization of up to three (3) Standing Offers for the Ontario
region.  Proponents are asked to submit a single proposal in
response to the RFSO.  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 $5,000,000.00.

The Consultant team for this Standing Offer must be capable of
providing engineering services required to carry out
Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services.

The criteria used in the evaluation process will relate to
previous achievements and experience of the firm, its senior
personnel and project personnel; 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 70 % for technical evaluation and 
30 % 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.   

Standard terms and conditions for this procurement are
incorporated by reference and form part of the Tender and
Contract Documents.  The Standard documents are issued by Public
Works and Government Services Canada and may be viewed on
Buyandsell.gc.ca.  Consultants who wish to order the documents
in conventional (print) form may do so by following the
directions contained in the tender package.  

MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR CODE OF CONDUCT CERTIFICATIONS:

Proponents should provide, with their proposals or promptly
thereafter, a complete list of names of all individuals who are
currently directors of the Proponent.  If such a list has not
been received by the time the evaluation of proposals is
completed, the Contracting Authority will inform the Proponent
of a time frame within which to provide the information. 
Proponents must submit the list of directors before contract
award, failure to provide such a list within the required time
frame will render the proposal non-responsive.

The Contracting Authority may, at any time, request that a
Proponent provide properly completed and Signed Consent Forms
(Consent to a Criminal Record Verification form - PWGSC-TPSGC
229) for any or all individuals named in the aforementioned list
within a specified delay.  Failure to provide such Consent Forms
