Nature of Requirements:
Objective :
DRDC Valcartier has currently an aeroballistic range which until
2005 was used primarily for the exterior ballistic evaluation
and characterization of the dynamic performance of medium and
large caliber projectile in flight. This laboratory was built
and configured to conduct tests on weapons of medium and large
caliber. Technical obsolescence of the instrumentation resulted
in the aeroballistic range being rarely used for ballistic
studies in recent years. Temporary changes were made to support
the firing of small arms but inadequate ventilation limits the
amount of firings that can be performed. Currently, DRDC
Valcartier has no multifunctional infrastructure and equipment
at the cutting edge of technology capable of characterizing
conventional weapons (ranging from 5.56 to 155 mm).
A budget was recently approved for digitalizing the
aeroballistic range in order to al-low for the characterization
of small caliber projectile in flight while maintaining the
capacity to study larger caliber projectiles. Furthermore, the
digitalization of the la-boratory will greatly increase the
productivity at the facility.
The upgrade study consists of performing a feasibility study to
determine which equipment must be replaced and which components
are still usable efficiently. Among the systems that could
potentially be replaced, there is the spark gap lighting system,
the infrared detector used to trigger the camera, the range
control system and the firing console.
The Contractor must carry out the necessary work to conduct the
activities described in this Statement of Work (annex A).
Maximum funding:
The maximum funding available for the contract resulting from
the bid solicitation is $90,000.00 CAD (Goods and Services Tax

disclosure does not commit Canada to pay the maximum funding
available.
Contract period:
The period of the contract is from the date of the contract to
August 30, 2013.
Client Department:
The work will be performed for Defense Research and Development
Canada, Valcartier (DRDC-Valcartier).
Basis of Selection - Highest Rated Within Budget
To be declared responsive, a bid must:
(a) comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation;
(b) meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria;
(c) obtain the required minimum points for each criterion with a
pass mark; and
(d) obtain the required minimum points overall for the technical
evaluation criteria which are subject to point rating.
Bids not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) or (d) will be declared non
responsive. The responsive bid with the highest number of
points will be recommended for award of a contract, provided
that the total evaluated price does not exceed the budget
available for this requirement. In the event that the highest
number of points is obtained by more than one responsive bid,
the responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price will be
recommended for award of a contract.
