Original LOI
Background
The Canadian Forces currently has fifty-one (51) military
vehicles (quantities: 5 M113A2s, 28 M109s, 15 C1 Howitzers and
3 Cougars) that are out of commission and have been declared
surplus. The objective is to remove the existing residual,
unserviceable materiel and carry out specific work in order to
convert each of these vehicles into a commemorative monument on
an an-and-when-required basis. Quantities: 15 Cougars, 12
Howitzers and other vehicles like the Husky and Grizzly are also
scheduled for conversion; however, none has been declared
surplus at this time.
This Letter of Interest (LOI) document provides the planned
directions PWGSC expects to follow as outlined in the attached
draft Statement of Work.
Purpose of the Letter of Interest
The purpose of this LETTER OF INTEREST (LOI) is to communicate
the Canadian Forces (CF) requirements and solicit information
and feedback from Industry regarding the possible conversion of
Military Vehicles into Commemorative Monuments on an
"an-and-when-required basis". The information may be used to
support the Government of Canada's decision-making process such
as finalizing its requirements and determining its procurement
strategy.
This is not a bid solicitation and no Contract will result
directly from this LOI. Potential suppliers of any goods or
services described in the LOI should neither reserve stock,
facilities, nor allocate resources as a result of any
information contained in this LOI. Whether or not any potential
supplier responds to this LOI will not preclude them from
participating in any future procurement.
Participation in this LOI is not a condition or prerequisite for
participation in any subsequent draft or final Request For
Proposal (RFP). As a result of this LOI there will be no short
listing of firms for the purposes of undertaking future work.
