Workstations Replacement for an office in Vancouver for Employment and Social Development Canada

Amendment #1 extends the solicitation closing date for the Harbour Centre Workstations Replacement project to May 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST, superseding the prior solicitation dated December 16, 2025. This requirement, under Employment and Social Development Canada’s Service Canada, involves replacing 334 existing fixed-height workstations with ergonomic electric sit-stand desks already procured and stored at an ESDC warehouse in Langley, BC. The work includes dismantling and removing old desks, transporting and installing the new units, transferring all existing computer peripherals, relocating specified office furniture, and removing all debris—all to be conducted strictly outside normal business hours, specifically between 5:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on weeknights and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends. All work must be completed within 14 consecutive calendar days following the contract start date, with the goal of finishing all six phased activities by June 30, 2026, though the exact start date will be established within six weeks of contract award. The contract is subject to stringent security protocols, requiring all personnel to hold a RELIABILITY STATUS clearance through the Contract Security Program and the prime contractor to maintain a valid Designated Organization Screening. Subcontractors must also comply with these requirements, and any access to PROTECTED or classified materials necessitates additional safeguarding measures and potential site inspections. The Contractor is prohibited from storing items overnight at the worksite, must remove all packaging and debris after each work shift, and must not use forced labor in any aspect of performance. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three separate files—technical, financial, and certifications—and are evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model. Bidder eligibility hinges solely on meeting two mandatory technical criteria: at least two years of demonstrated experience in office furniture relocation within the past five years, linked to three verifiable projects, and documented partnerships with certified local recyclers for environmentally compliant disposal. Financial selection is based exclusively on the lowest responsive bid, with ties resolved by best value or random selection. Payment will be made by direct deposit within 30 days of a valid invoice, with no contract value specified but delivery and performance terms clearly defined under FOB destination conditions. The contract is subject to the Tsawwassen First Nation Final Agreement and includes clauses addressing conflict of interest, key personnel
