Gazebo - Pavilion

The Department of National Defence is soliciting proposals for the procurement and installation of a permanent gazebo/pavilion structure at the Army Training Centre – Atlantic in Oromocto, New Brunswick, to enhance site functionality by providing a covered gathering space for cultural and spiritual activities. The structure must be approximately 30 feet by 20 feet by 12 feet high, constructed with a 6”x6” wood frame, pressure-treated or cedar Douglas fir wood finished with penetrating oil, and a black metal roof with flashing, all installed on an existing concrete slab. Work must be completed and accepted no later than March 1, 2027, under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms, meaning the vendor bears all costs and responsibilities up to delivery at the designated site. Compliance with the National Building Code of Canada, provincial and municipal codes, and occupational health and safety regulations is mandatory, and the contractor must submit detailed design drawings, product specifications, and warranty documentation—a one-year warranty on labor and a five-year warranty on structural integrity. The Government retains sole authority for inspection and acceptance, and failure to meet any technical criterion will render an offer non-responsive. The solicitation, identified as W0501-27-M020/A and posted on August 3, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026, is open to Canadian suppliers and those from designated trade partners, with no socioeconomic set-asides or size-based preferences applicable. Offers must include comprehensive attestations regarding integrity, absence of organizational conflicts of interest, compliance with Canadian international sanctions, and prohibition of forced labor in the supply chain. Contractors must also adhere to Canada’s Green Procurement Policy, using only reusable, consigned, or recyclable packaging that meets environmental standards, with exemptions allowed only for specialized technical needs. Pricing information is incomplete in the solicitation, with no CLIN values, extended prices, or contract value specified, though payment terms will require submission of invoices with financial codes and client ministry details. The contracting authority, Ann Marie MacDonald of the Department of National Defence, will evaluate proposals based on conformity, past performance, and quality-price ratio, with award determined through a best-value trade-off approach, not lowest price technically acceptable. There are no security clearance requirements, and no formal contract options are included beyond a possible 60-day extension of offer validity. Contractors must retain financial records for seven years after final payment, and assignment of the contract is strictly prohibited without
