The Department of National Defence has a requirement for the provision of technical services to support DND and its partner, the Communication Research Centre (CRC), in executing the COSPAS/SARSAT Demonstration and Evaluation (D&E) plan by performing any necessary calibration and pre-testing. With the advent of the new Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue (MEOSAR), DND continues its Research and Development (R&D) in its analysis of the most pertinent issues relating to next generation system development including both ground and space segment issues.
The work to support this requirement may include: -development of calibration methods for the CRC MEOLUT Test Bed; -development of special test methods to perform in-orbit tests on Europe's SAR satellites; -the provision of technical and analytical support for execution of COSPAS-SARSAT R.018 demonstration and evaluation (D&E) test plan; and/or -advising on next generation beacon development impact on operational MEOSAR ground station.
Services may be required for the period from date of contract up to March 31, 2014, with an irrevocable option on the part of Canada to extend the contract period by up to two (2) additional period(s) of one (1) year each. Services will be provided on an "as an when requested" basis and authorized through the issuance of Task Authorizations (TAs), within the parameters specified in the contract, provided there are sufficient funds remaining in the contract.
The method of selection will be based on LOWEST PRICE-PER-POINT RESPONSIVE PROPOSAL. 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 group of criteria 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. Neither the responsive bid that receives the highest number of points nor the one that proposed the lowest price will necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price per point will be recommended for award of a contract. The evaluated price per point will be determined by dividing the evaluated price of the bid by the number of points obtained for the point rated technical evaluation criteria.
In the event that two or more responsive bids have the same lowest evaluated price per point, the responsive bid which obtained the highest number of points overall for the point rated technical evaluation criteria will be recommended for award of a contract.
