Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to retain an individual consulting firm, or joint venture, to provide professional services to modernize laboratory facilities as part of a program of work related to the Laboratories Canada (LC). Science Facility laboratories in Mississauga, Sudbury, Guelph and Ottawa may form part of the overall Contract as determined by the priorities of PWGSC’s LC program. The base Contract consists of the laboratory expansion and fit-up of a joint National Research Council (NRC) and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) facility in Mississauga, Ontario. PWGSC will add incremental Consultant Services to the Contract through Contract option(s) as its Science Partner clients determine their location-specific scope of laboratory modernization.

This is a single phase selection process. The nature of the requirement and the anticipated limited number of responses by the industry leads PWGSC to believe that this approach will not unduly force a large number of firms to expend an overall unreasonable amount of effort in response to PWGSC.

Proponents responding to this RFP are requested to submit a full and complete proposal. The proposal will cover not only the qualifications, experience and organization of the proposed Consultant Team, but also the detailed approach to the work, and the pricing and terms offered. A combination of the technical and price of services submissions will constitute the proposal. The Proponent must be authorized to provide architectural and multidisciplinary engineering services, licensed, or eligible to be licensed, certified or otherwise authorized to provide the necessary professional services to the full extent that may be required by provincial law in any province of Canada.

(c) the Proponent must provide the name of all individuals who will require access to classified or protected information, assets or sensitive work sites.;

2. Proponents are reminded to obtain the required security clearance promptly. Any delay in the award of a contract to allow the successful Proponent to obtain the required clearance will be at the entire discretion of the Contracting Authority.
