Gaseous 1Chlorine Dioxide Biodecontamination System

Introduction	
The Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health (CSCHAH)
has a requirement for a gaseous chlorine dioxide
biodecontamination system to decontaminate specific areas within
the facility. 

The CSCHAH currently carries out most of its biodecontamination
with the use of Formaldehyde gas.  While this is a proven and
effective method of gaseous biodecontamination, the industry is
moving away from its use because of the hazard it poses both to
the environment as well as the people that may come in contact
with it (it is listed as a carcinogen). Gaseous Chlorine Dioxide
is emerging as one of the two main alternates to Formaldehyde
Gas (the other being vaporous hydrogen peroxide).

The Chlorine Dioxide system is a better choice to use for rooms
with soil loads because Chlorine Dioxide gas is much better at
penetrating solids than vaporous hydrogen peroxide. Chlorine
Dioxide is also better suited for rooms that can be ventilated
because the gas has to be physically removed from the space
before the area is safe to enter again. We plan to use this
machine to decon areas like our animal cubicles, which are
relatively dirty, moist and have no sensitive electronic
equipment (which can be damaged by chlorine dioxide). These
areas can be ventilated.

1.  Mandatory Physical Specifications:

1a  	Electrical specifications: must operate off of a 120 V 15
receptacle.	

1b  	Must be portable, and be capable of being wheeled through
doorways.

1c	Must include humidity generator, and associated controllers
capable of pre-conditioning space to 		a suitable RH for a
successful chlorine dioxide decontamination.

1d	Must include a circulating fan used to distribute the
chlorine dioxide gas quickly and evenly 		throughout the space
being decontaminated.

1e	Must include sodium chlorite cartridge  set which will
convert chlorine gas (supplied by CSCHAH) 		into chlorine
dioxide gas

1f	Must include a portable battery operated chlorine dioxide
concentration monitor, suitable for 		ensuring the chlorine
dioxide levels have reduced to a safe level before entering the
			decontaminated space after the chlorine dioxide generator has
been used.

1g	System must include the following sensors: gas concentration,
relative humidity, temperature, 		pressure
	

2.  Mandatory Performance Specifications:

2a 	Must produce pure gaseous chlorine dioxide using a process
in which chlorine gas (from cylinders 	supplied by CSCHAH) is
run through a cartridge which converts it to chlorine dioxide gas

2b	System must be capable of decontaminating spaces up to 70,000
cubic feet in volume.

2c	System parameters must be adjustable via a touch screen
interface connected to a PLC 			controller.
	
3.  Additional Requirements:						

3a.  	12 month warranty on parts and labor

3b.  	Initial setup, calibration and training at the CSCHAH in
Winnipeg

3c.  	Operators manual (English)

3d	Shipping & Handling to our loading dock in Winnipeg

Trade Agreements

The following trade agreements are applicable to this
procurement: The Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) and the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).  
 
Article 1016.2(b) of NAFTA and Article 506.12(b) of AIT are all
applicable as this requirement can be fulfilled by only one
supplier.

Section 6 of the Government Contract Regulations applies as only
one person or firm is capable of performing the contract.


Estimated Cost:	$75,000.00 - $85,000.00 (GST not included)
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award.  However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
