Vehicle Equipment Installation/Removal Services – NS

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has a requirement for the provision of labour, certain materials and supervision necessary to install and remove police emergency equipment, safety equipment and radio/communication equipment on RCMP vehicles on an “as and when” requested basis in Nova Scotia in accordance with the terms and conditions and the Scope of Work as detailed within this document or directed by the Atlantic Region Fleet Manager or Site Authority of the RCMP “H” Division, Nova Scotia. It is anticipated that the RCMP will make use of several contractors in the Halifax Regional Municipality area. The number of vehicles built and stored at each site will depend on the number of successful Offerors and their capacity. In conjunction with the criteria outlined in this proposal, the award of a Standing Offer will be based on capacity, service delivery turn-around time, lowest price and storage availability. The standing offer period will be for a 12-month period, with 3 additional 12-month options to extend. It is estimated that 150 vehicles will be equipped per 12-month period and that 150 vehicles will be de-equipped over the same period. The requirement also includes the provision of an outdoor storage compound located on site of the Contractor’s installation facility in Nova Scotia within a 20-kilometer radius of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), NS that has the capacity to store a minimum of 50 RCMP vehicles at any one time. The number of vehicles requiring storage will fluctuate. There is a security requirement associated with the Standing Offer. Basis of selection: An offer must comply with the requirements of the Request for Standing Offer and meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria to be declared responsive. The responsive offers with the lowest evaluated prices will be recommended for issuance of a standing offer.
