1. Definition of Requirement
Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of the
Department of Correctional Service Canada, has a requirement for
the retrofit of two (2) CleaverBrooks, CB200-150, 6.3 mBtu.
boilers to upgrade the burners and control systems, located at
the Kent Institution in Agassiz. The Contract will include
supply, delivery, installation, test and commission of the new
parts, and training on the new system.
Department of Correctional Service Canada needs to install "high
turndown ratio" burners in order to increase the boiler
efficiency especially at part load. CleaverBrook has developed a
proprietary modification kit for installing "high turndown
ratio" burners for their boilers without altering the boiler
front ends. Installing any other "high turndown ratio" burner
will require a newly designed boiler front end and would
drastically alter the aero-dynamic characteristics of the flue
gas flow through the boiler. Optimum combustion efficiency of a
fire tube boiler is highly influenced by the aerodynamics of the
flue gas flow and hence correctly matched boiler components are
essential for proper functioning of the boiler and to prevent
thermal and mechanical stresses to the boiler structure and
pulsation during operation. Using an Original Equipment
Manufacter (OEM) burner and conversion kit is the only solution
for this issue.
The installation will include a HAWK 4000 series controller for
burner management of small CleaverBrook boilers. One essential
function of any burner management controller is to keep the
boiler firing at a rate matching the boiler combustion curve,
which is unique to a particular type of boiler. These curves are
proprietary to the manufacturer. To achieve best combustion
efficiency, especially when the burner is upgraded to "high
turndown ratio" capability, is to use OEM parts. This will
result in efficient combustion in the flanks of the combustion
curve.

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.
