To be considered, the firm shall have extensive experience in district heating and cooling areas. The selected consultants shall provide a range of services as identified in the Required Services section of this document for industrial projects in the National Capital Area (NCA).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: New measures related to Code of Conduct and certifications included in the solicitation documents requires attention.
The ESAP program is a PWGSC initiative to modernize PWGSC heating and cooling infrastructure within NCA. Within NCA, PWGSC operates seven central heating and/or cooling (CHCP) plants that serve over 100 buildings through five district heating and cooling systems. Four heating systems operate on high pressure steam and one operates on high temperature hot water. Based on a review of best practices and on technical and economic analysis of central heating systems worldwide, it is clear that the government can achieve greater efficiency, savings for taxpayers and a greener more sustainable solution to this requirement through modernization and converting all of the heating systems to low temperature hot water. The Department has conducted market soundings via two Request for Information and cross country consultations. As a result the Energy Service Acquisition Program is looking at the range of business model options, including a Design-Build-Finance-Operate and Maintain contract that would involve a Public-Private Partnership (PPP).
In anticipation of conversion of all the five heating systems to low temperature hot water, PWGSC is now in the process of preparation of converting the buildings connected to these systems. Cooling systems are likely to be unchanged except that all chillers must be changed to eliminate chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants in consideration of the Montreal Protocol. The selected Consultants will be familiar with best practices in district heating and cooling and potential innovations that will facilitate improved financial, energy efficiency and environmental performance.
Proponents shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to practise in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. If a Proponent is licensed to practise in only one of the two provinces, then that Proponent must be eligible and willing to be licensed in the province in which they are not licensed. Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects over the last five (5) years. In general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the basis of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, their approach and methodology to providing those services, the quality of their relevant experience in this area, as well as the cost of the provision of the services.
It is PWGSC's intention to authorize up to three (3) Standing Offers, each for a period of four (4) years from the date of issuing the Standing Offers. The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $6,000,000.00 (GST or HST included). Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $1,000,000.00 (GST or HST included). Proponents should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will issue call-ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed. Please refer to Section SP5, CALL-UP PROCEDURE.
Consulting firms that consider themselves qualified to provide these services may order the Request for Standing Offer document from the Government of Canada Electronic Tendering Services through MERX. Late submissions will not be considered.
