Rentals for the Quebec Region. 


1. 	Description:  
Provide as needed, call-up rental services for road tractor,
semi-trailer, cargo carriers and bucket truck for the Quebec
region. Although this RMSO is available to all departments it is
anticipated that the main user will be the Department of
National defence (DND). Specifically, the main sectors covered
in this RMSO are: 

a)  Quebec region (Valcartier): Mainly including the Canadian
Forces Base in Valcartier and Defence Research and Development
Canada (DRDC) Valcartier; 

b)  Montreal region (Longue-Pointe): Mainly including the
Canadian Forces Base in Longue-Pointe

c)  Montérégie region (St-Jean and St-Hubert): Mainly including
the Canadian Forces Bases in St-Jean and St-Hubert;

d) Saguenay region (Bagotville): Mainly including the Canadian
Forces Base in Bagotville. 

The objective is to create a directory of offerors of road
tractor, semi-trailer, cargo carriers and bucket truck rentals,
by sector and for various categories of vehicles and different
rental periods (short term (30 days or less) and long term (more
than 30 days)). 


2.	Standing Offer Period:
The standing offer will be in effect from November 1, 2014 to
October 31, 2017, inclusively.


3.	Multiple Standing Offers:
Canada plans to issue multiple standing offers to offerors of
heavy vehicle rental services that meet the evaluation criteria
and method of selection set out in detail in this document. The
directory will be available for all sectors included in this
standing offer. 


4.	Value of the Standing Offers:
An undetermined number of standing offers may be established
subsequent to this Request for Standing Offers. To facilitate
the administration of the standing offers, all standing offers
issued as a result of this solicitation will reflect a "nil"
value ($).  This in no way limits the volume of business the
Offeror may do with the federal government. 

The total estimated value of all Standing Offers issued under
this Request for Standing Offers is $2,535,000.00 (applicable
taxes extra). This is an approximation of the requirement given
in good faith for financial bid evaluation purposes. It does not
represent a commitment by Canada.

-  This requirement is subject to the Agreement on Internal
Trade (AIT). 
-  This requirement is limited to Canadian Services.
-  Offerors can submit an offer for 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the sectors
