Objective

DRDC Valcartier has currently an aeroballistic range which until 2005 was used primarily for the exterior ballistic evaluation and characterization of the dynamic performance of medium and large caliber projectile in flight. This laboratory was built and configured to conduct tests on weapons of medium and large caliber. Technical obsolescence of the instrumentation resulted in the aeroballistic range being rarely used for ballistic studies in recent years. Temporary changes were made to support the firing of small arms but inadequate ventilation limits the amount of firings that can be performed. Currently, DRDC Valcartier has no multifunctional infrastructure and equipment at the cutting edge of technology capable of characterizing conventional weapons (ranging from 5.56 to 155 mm).

A budget was recently approved for digitalizing the aeroballistic range in order to al-low for the characterization of small caliber projectile in flight while maintaining the capacity to study larger caliber projectiles. Furthermore, the digitalization of the la-boratory will greatly increase the productivity at the facility.

The upgrade study consists of performing a feasibility study to determine which equipment must be replaced and which components are still usable efficiently. Among the systems that could potentially be replaced, there is the spark gap lighting system, the infrared detector used to trigger the camera, the range control system and the firing console.

The Contractor must carry out the necessary work to conduct the activities described in this Statement of Work (annex A).

Basis of Selection - Highest Rated Within Budget

To be declared responsive, a bid must

(a) comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation;

(b) meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria;

(c) obtain the required minimum points for each criterion with a pass mark; and

(d) obtain the required minimum points overall for the technical evaluation criteria which are subject to point rating.

Bids not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) or (d) will be declared non responsive. The responsive bid with the highest number of points will be recommended for award of a contract, provided that the total evaluated price does not exceed the budget available for this requirement. In the event that the highest number of points is obtained by more than one responsive bid, the responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award of a contract.
