THIS AMENDS THE CLOSING DATE TO JUNE 18, 2014.
Environment Canada (EC) requires unheated Relative Humidity (RH)
sensors and heated RH sensors for use in their Reference Climate
Stations (RCS), Surface Weather (SWX), and partner networks. To
ensure instrument continuity and ata homogeneity, EC intends to
use the same model for a ten (10) year period.
Each unit must be delivered with a 12-month warranty.
The sensors are used to support EC's mandate to forecast daily
weather conditions and warnings, and provide detailed
meteorological information to all of Canada. These sensors will
augment on-going improvements and expansions being made to the
radar, surface, marine and lightning detection networks.
All heated RH sensors proposed to Canada must operate
satisfactorily without heating.
The contract period will be for a period of ten (10) years from
date of award.
It is intended to award up to 2 contracts where 1 contract will
be awarded for the unheated RH sensor category and 1 contract
will be awarded for the heated RH sensor category.
The proposed unheated and heated RH sensor(s) must be new (not
refurbished or prototype item), commercially-off-the-shelf
(COTS) model(s).
The proposed unheated RH sensors and the proposed heated RH
sensors will be evaluated seperately.
The proposed heated RH sensors must operate in both
heater-enabled configuration as well as the heater-disabled
configuration in order to be considered. The heated RH sensors
can be either heated continuously (also known as warmed probes)
or intermittently (heated probes). If Bidders are proposing to
bid on both Heated and Unheated RH sensors, Bidders must provide
the same model for both.
A bid must comply with the requirements of the bid solicitation
and meet all mandatory requirements to be declared responsive.
The responsive bid with the highest combined rating of technical
merit and price will be recommended for award of contract.

details regarding this requirement, including the mandatory
evaluation criteria, point-rated evaluation criteria; and basis
of selection. The Crown retains the right to negotiate with
suppliers on any procurement.
