Building Condition Reports

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting firms and individuals qualified as an Architect or Engineer with the knowledge and experience of Building Conditions Report and PWGSC practices and expertise to submit offers for Standing Offers. The selected consultants shall provide a range of services related to a variety of design and construction projects within the National Capital Area.

Offerors shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to practice in the province of Quebec and Ontario. If an offeror is licensed to practise in only one of the two provinces, then that offeror 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 three (3) years from the date of issuing the Standing Offers. The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $6,500,000.00 (tax included). Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $500,000.00 (tax included). Offerors should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will award call-ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed.

This procurement is covered under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), World Trade Organization - Agreeement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) and Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).

Firms and individuals that consider themselves qualified to provide these services may order the Request for Standing Offer document from the Government Electronic Tendering Service through MERX. Late submissions will not be considered.
