1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN): 

An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities thatmeets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. 


2. Definition of the requirement:

The Royal Canadian Police D Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba has a requirement for the supply and delivery of fifty (50) Stalker Radar DSR speed radar units. The units to be procured are intended as maintenance spares for Stalker Radar units that are currently in use in seventy-two (72) D Division traffic enforcement vehicles. There is currently no stock of maintenance spares. When one of the Stalker Radar units currently in use malfunctions, it must be removed from the police vehicle and shipped to the manufacturer to be repaired. Without a stock of spare units, the police vehicle will be without a speed radar until the malfunctioning unit is repaired and returned, or until the vehicle is retrofitted to allow for the installation of a competing manufacturer’s speed radar.

3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements): 

Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its product meets the following requirements as specified in below. 

MINIMUM MANDATORY PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS:

Requirement: Speed Radar Units
Manufacturer Offered: Stalker Radar
Model Number Offered: STA-DSR-2KA

1: Physical Specifications

1.7: Must have a serial port for interfacing with electronic equipment including computers, video cameras and printers.
1.8: Display unit mustmeasure no more than 1.65” x 1.05” x 5.05” (h x d x w) and weight no more than 0.5 lbs.
1.9: Counting unit must measure no more than 1.65” x 3.90” x 5.05” (h x d x w) and weight no more than 1.4 lbs.
1.10: Each antenna must measure no more than 2.5” x4.75” (dia. x length) and weight no more than 0.5 lbs.

2: Performance Specifications

4. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement: 

This procurement is subject to the following trade agreements:

• Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT)
• North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)


5. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier:

Mega-Tech has been pre-identified as the supplier as it is the only distributor of Stalker Radar speed radars in Canada. The 50 Stalker Radar speed radar units to be procured are intended as maintenance spares for 72 Stalker Radar units currently in use by D Division. These 72 units are being employed in RCMP traffic enforcement vehicles,and should a unit malfunction, it must be removed from the vehicle and shipped to the manufacturer for repair. With Stalker Radar units as spares, one can quickly be swapped in for a malfunctioning unit. A competing manufacturer’s speed radar cannot be used as a spare, as the vehicles are hard-wired for the Stalker Radar units, and Stalker Radar units are incompatible with other manufacturers’ products. Therefore, should D Division not have Stalker Radar units as spares, a vehicle with a malfunctioningspeed radar would be without radar until the vehicle could be retrofitted to allow for the install of another manufacturer’s radar unit.


6. Government Contracts Regulations Exception(s): 

The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations is invoked for this procurement under subsection 6 (d) - “only one person is capable of performing the work.” 


7. Exclusions and/or Limited Tendering Reasons:

8. Period of the proposed contract or delivery date:

The equipment must be delivered on November 1, 2016.


9. Cost estimate of the proposed contract:

The estimated value of the contract, including option(s), is $115,500.00 (GST/HST extra).
