The Government of Ontario Ministry of Transportation is soliciting bids for the supply and delivery of precast concrete elements for the North Region Area West, specifically for the Kapikotongwa Tributary Creek Culvert. This solicitation, identified as rf_x_20567, requires bidders to submit proposals through the Ontario Tenders Portal by November 20, 2026. The award will be granted to the lowest priced compliant bidder following a two-stage evaluation process that first verifies mandatory requirements and then assesses commercial responses. A significant 10 percent evaluation advantage is provided to bidders with the highest proportion of Ontario-made goods and services, followed by Canadian-made goods and services, though the actual contract price remains the original total price. Selected bidders must adhere to strict compliance and security standards, including the provision of a 100 percent lump sum performance bond and proof of insurance and WSIB coverage. Mandatory requirements include the submission of a Domestic Supply Chain Plan, a nine-digit CRA business identifier, and a Tax Compliance Verification Number. Additionally, the successful contractor must comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, ensuring all supervisors are competent and workers have completed mandatory health and safety awareness training. Bidders are also required to provide three client references from the last three years to demonstrate their capability in providing similar goods and services.
