Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is soliciting input from industry in response to this Request for Information for the Main Construction Manager ("RFI"), with the objective of gathering information about the marketplace to assist in the determination of future procurement options and / or requirements. The attached document poses a number of questions to industry designed to give PWGSC a better understanding of the various commercial terms under which best practices and workflow solutions are offered.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

This RFI is not an acquisition process and is not in direct support of any government procurement. Exchanges with consulted organizations will cease before the commencement of formal procurement activities. The assurance of open, fair and transparent procurement processes is imperative for both government and potential contractors; the demarcation between this "information gathering" initiative and any formal procurement process is clearly defined and implemented to ensure no conflicts between the two.

This RFI shall not be construed to be a Request For Proposal (RFP) and no agreement/contract will be entered into with/awarded to any vendor based on responses to this RFI, and it shall in no way be considered as authorization by Canada for vendors to undertake any work.

Nothing in this RFI shall be construed as a commitment to issue a RFP. Response to this RFI will not create any obligation. Neither Canada nor vendors answering this RFI shall be bound by any aspect of their response to this RFI.

Once they have been received, the documents will become the property of Canada.

Vendors not responding to this RFI will not be penalized in an eventual RFP. Canada shall not be liable for, nor shall it reimburse any vendors for, any costs, fees or expenses which any vendor incurs in the preparation or submission of its response to this RFI.
