Background:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting
qualified Turnkey (Design-Build) Bidders to deliver new Generic

Institution, Agassiz, BC

The objective of this RFP is to retain an individual Contractor
or Joint Venture to provide the complete design-build (turnkey)
work for Support Buildings at Correctional Services Canada,
Mission Institution, Mission, BC and Kent Institution, Agassiz,
BC in the Pacific Region.  Utilizing a turnkey service delivery
methodology, a full range of professional consultant and

not limited to the design and construction of two (2) buildings,
including site work and service connections. The Project
requires design and execution for multiple disciplines carefully
coordinated with on-going Institutional operations.

Request for Proposal Process:
This is a single phase selection process. The RFP Document sets
out the project requirement, i.e., the particulars of the
project itself and the broad scope of services required from the
Contractor.  Based upon their analysis of the project
requirements and the capability/capacity of their firm, the
bidders formulate bids for the service, including their price.

The bidders describe their capabilities and proposed services in
the "Technical Portion" of the submission (Envelope One). The
"Price Portion" includes the proposed price and bid security
which is submitted in a sealed envelope (envelope two).

The Technical Portion of competitive bids are evaluated, without
knowledge of the price, by the Technical Evaluation Board. 
Evaluation is based on a set of pre-established criteria,
components and weight factors. Numerical technical scores are
awarded at the completion of the technical evaluation.

Price envelopes are then opened for the technically qualified
proposals.  The responsive submission with the lowest price will
be recommended for award of the contract.

"This procurement contains mandatory requirements"

Proposals not meeting the mandatory requirements will be deemed
non-responsive and will be given NO further consideration.

Weeks from Contract Award.

at the designated date and time to examine the scope of the work
