Justification for the Preselected Supplier The aforementioned statement of requirements describes a floating work camp currently being leased by PCA from New Pacifica Marine Ltd and used to carry out program work in areas of PCA's responsibility. The work camp is located on Gwaii Haanas and configured to meet the unique requirement to be able to split the camp to work in multiple locations. The program relative to this requirement will continue in the long term and therefore the purchase will provide the best value to Canada. An extensive survey of available floating structures was undertaken by a consultant and no other options were found to be available on the west coast of Canada. The cost and requirement for delivery by February 1st 2013 precludes the fabrication of new barges.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to meet the specified requirements may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the Contracting Authority 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.
