Project Objectives:
This is a Tender for a Standing Offer Agreement (SOA). The National Gallery of Canada (NGC) requires a qualified Contractor, with minimum 3 years’ experience, to provide drywalling services, on an “as and when” required basis to NGC for its various exhibition galleries.
It is important that the successful Contractor understands that a very high degree of quality workmanship will be expected from them, as well as, there is normally a very short lead and turnaround time on many of the jobs. A response time of 24 hours (1 working day) is a MANDATORY requirement. There can also be multiple call-ups for various gallery spaces at one time.
Special Conditions for NGC:
The majority of work at the NGC is performed during regular working hours (7:30am to 5:00pm), however, some work can potentially involve after hours (after 5:00pm) and/or including weekends. Although a large portion of the work can be scheduled with longer lead time there will be demands from NGC requiring quick response to meet unexpected new demands, repairs, touch-ups, etc.
Period of Contract:
The period for this Contract is two (2) years starting November 1, 2013 and ending October 31, 2015. The NGC reserves the right to renew and negotiate the contract for any additional terms consisting of a period of one year up to 3 years ending no later than October 31, 2018.
