Work Description: Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting firms with Architectural expertise to submit proposals for Standing Offers. This procurement will follow a one phase submission process. The selected consultants shall provide a range of investigation and recommendation reports, as well as design and construction services for federal building projects as identified in the Required Services section of this document for projects in the following zones:

Zone A: Correctional Building Projects in British Columbia Zone B: Non-Correctional Building Projects in BC & Yukon

Offerors may submit proposals for either one zone or both zones in separate packages.

It is PSPC's intention to authorize up to two (2) Standing Offers for Zone A and up to three (3) Standing Offers for Zone B, each for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuing the Standing Offers plus two (2) twelve month option periods. The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $10,500,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included) of which one third will be allotted to Zone A projects and two thirds to Zone B projects. Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $2,000,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included). Offerors should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offers will be called-up; PSPC will issue call-ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed.

This procurement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA)

Period of the Standing Offer: The period for placing call-ups against the Standing Offer shall be for three (3) years commencing from the start date identified on the Standing Offer.

If the Standing Offer is authorized for use beyond the initial period, the Consultant offers to extend its offer for an additional two (2) twelve month period under the same conditions and at the rates or prices specified in the Standing Offer.

The Consultant will be advised of the decision to authorize the use of the Standing Offer for an extended period by the Contracting Authority thirty (30) days before the expiry of the Standing Offer. A revision to the Standing Offer will be issued by the Contracting Authority.

Requirements: Offerors shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to practise in the province of British Columbia for Zone A and British Columbia and Yukon for Zone B. If an Offeror is licensed to practise in only one of the provinces or territories, then that offeror must be eligible and willing to be licensed in the province or territory in which they are not licensed. Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects within the last ten (10) 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.
