NATURE OF A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
This is not a bid solicitation. This Request for Information
(RFI) will not result in the award of any contract. As a result,
potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this
RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate
resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI.
Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list.
Therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to
this RFI will not preclude that supplier from participating in
any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the
goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily
follow this RFI. This RFI is simply intended to solicit feedback
from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
This RFI has excerpts that may or may not be used in the Request
for Proposal (RFP) at a future date.
SUMMARY
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is one of
the principal custodians of real property for the federal
government. In 1998, the Department initiated a large-scale
outsourcing of property management and project delivery services
in approximately 250 office facilities across the country. This
initiative was called Alternative Forms of Delivery (AFD). Based
upon the success of the 1998 initiative, PWGSC repeated the
exercise in 2004 and eight contracts were awarded nationally.
Since 2004 the service delivery model has evolved to the point
where leveraging the private sector is now considered the norm
rather than an "alternative" way of delivering services. As a
result, the next service delivery contracts will be called Real
Property 1 - Property Management and Project Delivery Services
(RP-1). The new name better reflects the operating reality and
opens the door to the possible development of additional service
delivery contracts as needs dictate.
An initial RFI was posted on MERX December 20, 2010 requesting
feedback from industry on 28 questions to inform of industry
best practices and advice on key areas of the RP-1 such as the
scope of the future RP-1 contracts, technical requirements,
financial requirements, IMIT requirements and performance
measurements. In February 2011, a team composed of a fairness
monitor, Acquisition Branch (AB), Real Property Branch (RPB) and
the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises (OSME)
representatives held industry consultations in six cities
(Edmonton, Vancouver, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa)
across Canada. From March to May 2011, industry association
consultations were held. The feedback received was considered
and PWGSC is now proceeding with a second RFI for RP-1.
PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
The purpose of RP-1 RFI No.2 is to seek industry feedback on the
RP-1 draft RFP content and provide relevant bidding information
through phases (amendments) to this RFI. Respondents who wish to
comment on any aspect of the draft RFP content provided and/or
relevant bidding information are asked to please ensure they use
specific references to the article numbers and paragraphs and
address all comments directly to the Contracting Authority via
email (B••••••••@••••••••.••.ca).
PWGSC will consider all comments from industry in determining
the final RFP. All comments are required by the identified
phase closing dates. PWGSC anticipates the release of the RFP
in late February/early March.
Please note and comment on the following:
PHASE 1
Phase 1 offers industry the opportunity to provide feedback on
draft RP-1 documentation, including the: Security Requirement
Checklist; Transition; Statement of Work table of contents;
Insurance Requirements; and the Evolution of Acquired Services
Framework for RP-1, which identifies the key changes from AFD to
RP-1. Phase 1 feedback is requested by: Thursday, September 6,
2012.
