Industry Canada has a requirement for the supply and delivery of three (3) 5-Series Powermaster (5300) on or before March 28, 2013.

Industry Canada's field test installations are designed to acccept specific connection interfaces. A critical component to IC's measurement is the input of correction factors for increased accuracy.

The True Three Phase Field Testing Analyzer must meet the following mandatory specifications:

General Specifications Accuracy Class of +/- 0.05% or greater Operating Temperature: -20 deg C to 50 deg C Storage Temperature: -30 deg C to 60 deg C Humidity: 0 to 90% or greater, non-condensing Dimensions: 540 mm x 440 mm x 220 mm or less Weight: 30 lbs or less

Display / Software Specifications 8.0 inch display or greater Full colour, transflective display Resolution of 0.001% of display value Windows based operating system Display complete vector diagrams (Colour Plot) Display % registration of customer load meter test results per measurement function Display individual waveforms, for voltage, current, power (Plot) Display complete CT Burden Results in form of Accuracy Parallelograms per pahse, including ratio and phase error's Display complete Harmonic Analysis Results (Plot) Display demand test data results Simultaneously display complete site analysis summary including vector diagram (plot), waveforms (plot), harmonic analysis (plot) and customer load test date Programmed with all Canadian (MC Standard) Meter Drawings

Technical Specifications Voltage Inputs 4 inputs/ channels Measures 10 volts to 600 volts (rms) with a resolution of 1 micro volt Auto-ranging with an accuracy of 0.08% of reading or better All four voltage leads must be fused with a CAT III (1000 V) rating and connect via a multi pin connector

Current Inputs 3 direct inputs / channels Measure from 0.1 to 20 amps with a resolution of 1 micro amp and an accuracy of 0.08% of reading or better 6 probe set inputs / channels to accept clamp on probes, flex probes and amp lite wire probs. Connection via multi pin connectors

Frequency Must maintain specified accurazy when measuring a system frequency between 45 and 65 Hz

Energy Measurements Provide measurements of watt hours (wh's), volt amp hours (vah's) and Volt amp reactance hours (varh's) Measurements must be user selectable

Power Measurements Provide measurements of watts (w), volt amps (va), and volt amp reactance (var) Measurements must be user selectable

Burden Testing Apply and measure the effects on the CT's secondary output accuracy, when additional burdens (resistances) are applied to the CT Required burdens to be applied are 0.1 ohms, 0.3 ohms, 0.5 ohm, 1.0 ohms, 2.0 ohms, and 4.0 ohms

Ratio Testing Conduct ratio and phase angle tests between actual primary and secondary currents to an accuracy of 0.2% or greater

Phase Angle Measures a phase angle of 0 to 360 degrees with a resolution of 0.2 degrees or better

Power Factor Measures power factor from -1.00 to +1.00

Harmonic Analysis Measures the 50th Harmonic or greater Must measure THD, Total Harmonic Distortion

Memory Store a minimum of 150 individual sites in non-volatile memory

Auxiliary Power Minimum range of 120 volts to 530 volts or greater Must have a built in charging unit

The only known supplier of a system meeting the technical specifications required is Power Source Instruments Inc.. For this reason it is proposed to negotiate directly with them for this requirement.

Single sourcing applies under the following

-GCR. Section 6d) : Only one person is capable of performing the contract.

-AIT, Article 506.12 a) : to ensure compatibility with existing products, to recognize exclusive rights, such as exclusive licences, copyright and patent rights, or to maintain specialized products that must be maintained by the manufacturer or its representative.

NAFTA, Article 1016.2 b): Where, for works of art, or for reasons connected with the protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights, or proprietary information or where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons, the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting officer identified above.

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 contractor. 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 authority will proceed to a full tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
