Questions and Answers for Solicitation #: 52039-14-2089996 – Scaffolding Training – Saskatchewan Penitentiary – Prince Albert SK

Question 1 – The Financial portion, appendix B, appears to be asking for a “per diem” charge for use in calculating the cost of each program. In other words, it appears that we are to take the total cost of a six week program, divide it by 30, and enter that as the proposed cost. (the same type of formula would apply to a four week program). Is that correct?

Answer 1 – The Correctional Service of Canada is asking bidders to provide their cost per participant for a training session that will be to a maximum of 6 weeks in duration. Bidders are invited to submit one cost accordingly, for the “Firm Per Diem Rate: All inclusive price per participant.” ________________________________________
