TITLE:
Civil/Municipal Engineering Services,  Request For Standing Offer

LOCATION:
Various Locations, BC and Yukon

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting
Civil Engineering consulting firms with Municipal Engineering
expertise to submit proposals for Standing Offers. This
procurement will follow a one phase submission process. The
selected consultants shall provide a range of services as
identified in the Required Services.

The objective of this standing offer is to retain the selected
consultant(s) through individual call-ups to carry out site
assessments, proposals,  infrastructure design and/or
construction supervision services for municipal/civil
engineering projects in various locations in British Columbia
and Yukon Territory.  Environmental input may be required but
will be handled through the use of sub consultants and /or
existing environmental standing offers with PWGSC. Environmental
expertise will therefore not be part of this submission other
than to show experience in engaging and integrating such input.
The successful firm(s) will participate in federal projects for
various departments in various locations through the Province of
British Columbia and Yukon Territory with a majority of the work
in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.

Proponents shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to
practise in the province of  British Columbia and/or Yukon
Territory.  Firms should be able to demonstrate successful
delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects over
the last five (5) years by fully experienced and qualified
engineers.  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.

The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be
$1,200,000.00 (HST Included).  Individual call-ups will vary, up
to a maximum of $250,000.00 (HST included). Proponents should
note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of
the Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will award call-ups
only when the specific services to be provided under the
Standing Offer are needed.  

This procurement is covered under the provisions of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), (World Trade Organization
- Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP).

DELIVERY:
It is PWGSC's intention to authorize up to three (3) Standing
Offers, each for a period of two (2) years from the date of
issuing the Standing Offers.

Firms intending to submit proposals for this project should
obtain documents through the MERX services provider.  Addenda,
when issued, will be available from the MERX services provider. 
Firms that elect to base their proposal on documents obtained
form other sources do so at their own risk and will be solely
responsible to inform the tender calling authority on their
intention to bid.  Proponents must indicate (when requested) on
