FDM Fire Department Support and Maintenance

The City of Burnaby has issued a Notice of Intent to award a direct contract to CentralSquare Canada Software Inc for annual FDM Fire Department support and maintenance. The contract is scheduled for the period from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2027, with an estimated total value of $78,565.79, including GST and PST. This direct award is justified by the vendor's proprietary knowledge of the product, the need to protect existing warranties, the lack of other available vendors capable of providing these specific services, and the potential for negative cost and resource impacts if a new provider were introduced. Under solicitation number NOI # 210-10-22, the City is allowing for a challenge process where other parties may submit a Letter of Objection via the online bidding portal by November 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. PST. To be considered, any objecting party must provide specific reasons for their objection and demonstrate the necessary experience and resources to provide equivalent or superior services within the same timeframe. All submissions must be electronic, as hardcopy entries are not permitted.
