Trade Agreement: NAFTA/AIT/Canada-Peru FTA/Canada-Colombia FTA Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: Lowest/Lower Bid Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: PORTABLE RADIO BATTERY CHARGERS

Correctional Service Canada has a requirement for PORTABLE RADIO BATTERY CHARGERS to be delivered to Kingston, Ontario by 31 March 2013.

Equivalent items will be considered.

NOTE for proposed equivalent items 001 and 002 - Equivalent single and multi-bay chargers MUST accept the Motorola XTS5000 portable radio batteries or be provided with a suitable adapter to accommodate this battery type. Equivalent single and multi-bay chargers MUST be compatible with both NiCd and NiMH battery chemistries. Equivalent single and multi-bay chargers MUST require that the battery be removed from the radio to be charged. Equivalent single and multi-bay chargers MUST use a rapid charging system, utilizing a dynamic electrochemical waveform charging system which pulses the charge based on the atomic structure of the chemistry within the battery. Equivalent single and multi-bay chargers MUST monitor the battery during the charge cycle, through analysis of the charging waveform and the charger must determine in real-time when a charge cycle is complete. Equivalent single and multi-bay chargers MUST be 100% forwards compatible with interchangeable battery adapters to allow the charging of multiple battery brands, voltages, and chemistries.

NOTE for proposed equivalent item 003 - Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST perform rotational cycling of the batteries and monitor battery charge status to eliminate the drainage effects of long term storage. Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST accept the Motorola XTS5000 portable radio batteries or be provided with a suitable adapter to accommodate this battery type. Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST be compatible with both NiCd and NiMH battery chemistries. Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST require the battery to be removed from the radio to be charged. Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST be a rapid charging system, utilizing a dynamic electrochemical waveform charging system which pulses the charge based on the atomic structure of the chemistry within the battery. Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST monitor the battery during the charge cycle, through analysis of the charging waveform and the charger must determine in real-time when a charge cycle is complete. Equivalent multi-bay maintainers MUST be 100% forwards compatible with interchangeable battery adapters to allow the charging of multiple battery brands, voltages, and chemistries.

Battery adapters are not required if the equivalent single and multi-bay chargers and multi-bay maintainers can properly charge the NiCd and NiMH Motorola XTS5000 portable radio batteries without adapters.
