The Department of Transport for the Government of Canada is soliciting an economic analysis to evaluate the costs, benefits, opportunities, risks, and labour impacts of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) within Canada. The project aims to identify factors influencing these impacts, with a maximum funding limit of 100,000 CAD. The contract is governed by the laws of Ontario and requires all deliverables to be submitted in English via Microsoft 365 and PDF. Key deliverables include a final work plan, monthly status reports, and draft reports covering direct and indirect costs and benefits of CAV usage. Selection is based on the highest combined rating of technical merit, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%. To be compliant, offers must meet all mandatory technical criteria and achieve a minimum threshold of 52 points in the rated technical evaluation. The performance schedule begins with a kick-off meeting within one week of award, followed by a work plan and a phased delivery of draft reports over a period of approximately 20 weeks. Payment is issued 30 days after the receipt of a verified invoice, and there are no security requirements associated with this solicitation.
