Objective
A 5-year contract for SED to purchase compressed gases on an as and when required basis for operation of SED’s laboratory instruments.
Background
SED’s laboratory instruments will not operate without a supply of gases flowing through them on a daily basis.
Scope
Maintaining the supply of gas to the laboratory instruments is a daily process and must be monitored to ensure adequate supply is available and on hand at all times. Without these gases, the SED’s laboratory instruments will not function and may become damaged.

- Vendor must collect empty cylinders at each delivery.
- Vendor must provide a copy of the delivery slip at the time of delivery to the shipper/receiver.
- Vendor must deliver the appropriate grade (quality) of gas ordered or a higher grade if the ordered grade is not available, at no extra cost (i.e. the vendor is responsible for maintain adequate inventory to deliver the SED’s projected requirements).
- Delivery must take place during normal business hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday to Friday unless agreed upon by the project authority and the vendor in writing.
- The vendor must conform to the SED’s health and safety requirements while on-site (i.e. eye protection, toe-protection, adequate clothing)
- The vendor must have a local base of operation where they can be reached during business hours.
- Rental fee of the cylinders must be $0.
- Vendor is responsible to pay a fee of $600 per day to the CBSA if there is a shortage of gas due to delivery delay that results in loss of work, unless the vendor provides notice 7 days prior to delivery.
