AI Contract Overview
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is seeking a standing offer for the rental of forklifts across five correctional institutions in Quebec: Federal Training Centre in Laval, Archambault Institution in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Drummondville Institution, Donnacona Institution, and Cowansville Institution. The requirement covers three specific types of equipment: a 4-wheel propane forklift with an enclosed cab, a 4-wheel electric forklift, and a 3-wheel electric forklift. The standing offer will initially be valid for one year, commencing upon award, with an option to extend for up to four additional one-year periods, potentially extending the contract term to September 30, 2031. The solicitation is structured into five distinct streams, one for each institution, and bidders may submit proposals for one or multiple streams, provided they can supply the full range of equipment, personnel, and logistics to meet the needs of all selected locations simultaneously. Performance is triggered by individual call-ups, with delivery required within 24 hours of receipt and pickup completed upon expiration or cancellation. All rentals include unlimited mileage, and the contractor is responsible for all delivery, pickup, maintenance, and repair costs, including providing a replacement unit within 24 hours of a breakdown or deploying a certified mechanic within 48 hours at no additional cost to Canada. Contractors must meet strict technical and compliance requirements to be considered. Mandatory criteria include at least one year of documented forklift rental experience within the prior three years, with equipment meeting specified dimensions and performance standards. All personnel must be fully bilingual in English and French, pass a tuberculosis test at their own expense, and be escorted at all times within CSC facilities. The contract requires $2 million in commercial general liability insurance with Canada named as an additional insured, and all submissions must be accompanied by certifications regarding compliance with the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, anti-forced labor requirements, and accuracy of information. Bidding is restricted to Canadian suppliers or suppliers from countries with active trade agreements including CFTA, WTO-AGP, CUFTA, CKTA, and others listed. Awards will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, meaning only compliant proposals are considered, with selection based solely on the lowest price. Proposals must be submitted via email as three separate PDF attachments—Technical, Financial, and Certifications—by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on August 21, 2026
