Eavestrough Cleaning for Housing Services Centre (HSC) Shilo

The Department of National Defence, through the Canadian Forces Housing Agency, is seeking providers to perform eavestrough cleaning services at 651 residential housing units and 286 garages located at Housing Services Centre Shilo, 78 Kingston Avenue, Shilo, Manitoba. The contract is intended to cover two cleaning cycles during the base period from June 1, 2026, to July 15, 2028, with an option for one additional one-year extension, exercisable at the Crown’s discretion with at least 30 business days’ notice. The work involves removing debris to ensure proper drainage and protect government infrastructure across approximately 14,564 linear meters of eavestroughs. All services must adhere to CFHA-specific standards outlined in Annex A and Appendix B, including submission of weekly inspection reports and a detailed task schedule, with a mandatory mock-up unit inspection prior to full-scale operations. The contract employs a Firm-Fixed-Price structure under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where compliance with specifications and the lowest bid determine award; no technical scoring or trade-offs are permitted. The solicitation is open under the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, and bidders must be Canadian suppliers meeting eligibility criteria. There are no security requirements, key personnel designations, or organizational conflict of interest provisions, though offerors must disclose if they are former public servants receiving pensions or lump-sum payments, as this triggers public reporting obligations. Pricing details are provided as blank units per linear meter, to be completed by bidders, rendering the total contract value unquantifiable at this stage. Proposals must be submitted in two sections—financial and declaratory—via CanadaBuys GETS by the stated deadline and may be in English or French. Invoices must include the contract number and applicable financial codes, though the remittance address and electronic invoicing system are unspecified. Acceptance of work is the sole authority of the Government of Canada, who retains rights to inspect, audit records, and terminate if performance is unsatisfactory or if the contractor fails to meet mandatory criteria such as good standing, fair conduct, and contract compliance.
