Quantity Surveying and Estimating Construction Costs for Representative Electric Utility and Engineering Construction Data Models

This Statistics Canada office provides procurement services to the public in both official languages.

THERE IS NO SECURITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUIREMENT

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT)

This requirement is not subject to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), , the Canada Peru Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA), the Canada Colombia Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), the Canada Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) and the Canada Panama Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA)

Requirement

Statistics Canada is undertaking a revision of the Electric Utility Construction Price Index (EUCPI). The first step in this work is to obtain updated electric utility construction models (e.g. transmission substation) and pricing data, to ensure the revised index reflects current industry practices in electric utility construction.

Statistics Canada is also exploring the feasibility of developing a price index for engineering construction projects. As part of this work, Statistics Canada is looking to obtain representative engineering construction models (e.g. on-shore drilling rig, highway, etc.) and pricing data to ensure the index reflects current industry practices in constructing engineering projects.

Evaluation Process

Bidders MUST meet all the mandatory requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP). No further consideration will be given to bidders not meeting all the mandatory criteria. The mandatory criteria include:

MTC1 Bidder The Bidder must provide details on at least one (1) project completed since 2010 that demonstrate the ability to perform electric utility and/or engineering construction quantity surveying and cost estimating work for the construction models listed in section 4 of the Statement of Work.

The Bidder must provide at the minimum, the following information for each project completed:

1. Name of the organization (Client); 2. Title of the project; 3. A brief description of the project, which electric utility or engineering construction model was included; 4. The approximate size and scope of the project. 5. When the work was performed, start and end date (MM/YY to MM/YY)

MTC2 Bidder Proposed Resources The Bidder must identify all resources who will be assigned to the project.

The Bidder must identify one individual who will act as Project Manager and one individual who will act as his/her backup.

The résumé of each proposed resource must be provided

MTC3 Bidder Project Plan The Bidder must submit a Project Plan describing the approach to be followed in completing all aspects of the project in sufficient detail as to demonstrate that the Bidder can meet the project objectives and the delivery schedule. It must include: • Demonstration that the Bidder understands the requirements and objectives of the project; • A Schedule (Work Plan) with time frames to accomplish the stated objectives and provide the requested deliverables; • A description of what the final data report will cover. This should include the report’s Table of Contents (TOC) along with a short description for each section to be included within that data report; • Identification of any tasks which the Bidder considers to be important but not mentioned in the statement of work.

Period of the Contract

The period of the contract will be from contract award (estimated to be September 15th, 2015) to May 31st, 2016, plus options to extend the term of the Contract by up to two (2) additional periods of one (1) year or less each, under the same conditions.

Basis of Selection The responsive bid with the lowest cost per point will be recommended for award of a contract.
