ESC Site Characterization Contract with Task Authorization.

Title:  ENVIRONMENTAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION SERVICES TASK AUTHORIZATION:  Pacific Region - British Columbia and Yukon

Requirement: 
Public Works and Government Services Canada Environmental Services, has 
a requirement for environmental site characterization services on an "as and when requested" basis on behalf of PWGSC and other federal clients in British Columbia and Yukon. 

Generally, the required services may include: 
a) program and project management;
b) Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments;
c) Preliminary and Detailed Site Investigations; and
d) other related environmental services

It is expected that PWGSC will award up to five (5) Contracts as a result of this Request For Proposal.  The overall estimated volume of work to be distributed amongst successful biddersis up to $20,000,000.00 (including applicable taxes).  The period of the Contracts will be from date of award until March 31, 2019.

Bidders must provide a list of names, or other related information as needed, pursuant to section 01 of Standard Instructions 2003.

Bidders in receipt of a pension or a lump sum payment must provide the required information as detailed in article 3 of Part 2 of the bid solicitation.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).

The Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements of up to eleven (11) Yukon First Nations may apply to this procurement, depending on where the services will be provided.

Security Requirement:
Bidders are hereby informed that there is a requirement for the Contractors and their personnel to possess a Designated Organization Screening (DOS) at the RELIABILITY STATUS levelissued by the Canadian Industrial Security Directorate (CISD) of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC).

Should the successful bidders not have the level of security indicated above, PWGSC shall sponsor the successful proponents so CISD can initiate procedures for security clearance. CISD, by letter, shall forward documentation to the successful bidders for completion.  Bidders desiring such sponsorship should so indicate in their covering letter with their bid.

Successful bidder(s) issued a Task Authorization Contract as a result of this Task Authorization Agreement, not possessing the required security clearance at time of a Task Authorization, will be bypassed and PWGSC will proceed to the next Contractor who possesses the requiredsecurity clearance and it is furthest away from the ideal business distribution.
