ACAN
1. DEFINITION: An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15) calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified supplier. If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the contracting officer will proceed to a full tendering process.
2. REQUIREMENT: Contractor is to provide all labour, material, tools, equipment, supervision and transportation necessary to supply a new MULTINET® MIDI - MULTIPLE PLANKTON SAMPLER & SUPPLIES to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Richmond, B.C., as detailed herein.
The MultiNet® is a standard sampling tool for stratified zooplankton sampling that is widely used in both Canada (e.g. ArcticNet cruises to the Beaufort Sea) and the US (e.g. University of Alaska surveys to the Chukchi/Beaufort Seas) and elsewhere in the Arctic. This sampler is equipped with five sampling bags (nets). This feature enables sampling zooplankton in up to five discrete layers during one vertical or horizontal deployment as opposed to only "one net - one sample" standard sampling procedure. The advantage of sampling with multiple nets during one deployment results in significant reduction of deck time necessary to collect numerous zooplankton samples, particularly at depths exceeding 200m.
The net frame must be made entirely of special high-quality stainless steel. unit must be capable of sustaining long term exposure to the full salinity (34 psu) marine water; high quality stainless steel is essential as only such material guarantees unbiased collection of zooplankton samples that are to be used for the contaminant-related analysis. The net must be equipped with a specifically designed pressure safe encapsulated motor unit that closes particular nets. The motor unit must be battery operated and have an integrated depth meter to initiate a net closing procedure at given depths. The motor unit must be certified to work at depths of up to 3,000 m. Canvas part with zip-fasteners, net opening 50 x 50 cm [= 0.25 square meter] 5 Net Bags with zip-fastener, length 250 cm, net end diameter 11 cm, custom mesh size of 150 microns; 5 Plastic Buckets 11 cm diameter, side window covered with sieve gauze Net Bucket Holder must be made of stainless steel. 2 Bridles Stainless Steel support
Deck Command Unit is a push-button control device used for bi-directional communication for net changing - it displays a net changing sequence: this Unit must also communicate with the depth sensor to display the current depth of the net frame this Unit must display the battery status in the motor unit this Unit must interface to PC with WIN 95, WIN 98, WIN Me, WIN NT, WIN 2000, WIN XP and WIN 7 32-bit operating systems this Unit must have a LCD super-twist with LED backlighting display and be powered by the universal power supply 85 to 260V AC PC application software OceanLab® [must be WINDOWS 7, 32-bit version compatible] enables the pre-deployment system set-up real-time control of the complete systems and real-time data acquisition post-deployment data download data processing, data visualization, data storing and export V-Fin Depth Depressor, with steel rope and shackle, weight 22 kg (required for horizontal operations)
B) Offline-Set - is a unique option that enables programmable depth this option allows to set the system up prior to the deployment when in the water the system operates autonomically the salinity/temperature data are downloaded upon the net retrieval
C) Electronic flow meter that is integrated into the net frame provides on-line data on the water flow through the net that allows to identify potential clogging of the nets
D) Conductivity/Salinity Set that is integrated into motor unit of MultiNet®, including Additional electronics board that includes the following: Conductivity sensor 0?.65 mS/cm, accuracy +/- 0.01 mS/cm Temperature sensor -2?+32º C, accuracy +/- 0.005 degrees C Integrated Conductivity/Salinity Set not only allows you to see these parameters in the real-time but also removes the need for additional, independent probes to record these parameters.
E) 5 x single spare net part for Multi-Net type MiDi, with zip fastener, length of 250 cm, end of net diameter 11 cm, standard mesh size 150 um
F) Single spare canvas part for Multi-Net type MiDi
G) 5 x single spare plastic net bucket unit, consisting of a fixing ring with "overcentre" fasteners and a PVC net bucket with side window covered with sieve gauze.
Delivery to be made FOB destination including all delivery and offloading charges to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Arctic Aquatic Research Division at c/o Frosti Fishing, Building #12, 12740 Trites Road, Richmond BC, V7E 3R8, on or before 29 June 2012.

GCR Part 1, Section 6 d) only one supplier (person or firm) is capable of performing the contract.
BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION: DFO is planning to undertake an ecosystem baseline sampling survey (BREA Offshore Fish Program, led by Jim Reist) in the offshore waters of the Beaufort Sea in the summer of 2012. The goal of this survey is to gather knowledge in so far unsurveyed area. Samples of all crucial ecosystem compartments will be collected from the fishing trawler in summer 2012 - 2014. Additional scientific sampling will take place inshore by local fishermen and DFO staff to collect complimentary data to the offshore project. Acquired samples will allow creating baselines for ecosystem components sand eventually will be incorporated in the broad scale picture of the Beaufort Sea ecosystem by linking them to the results of past research programs.
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to solicit a proposal and negotiate a contract with HydroBios-International Division of Canimpex Enterprises Ltd. / CPX Solutions in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
