REQUEST FOR STANDING OFFER (RFSO) - BRIDGE ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE BURLINGTON CANAL LIFT BRIDGE, HAMILTON, ON
THIS PROCUREMENT CONTAINS A SECURITY REQUIREMENT
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting engineering consulting firms with experience and expertise in bridges to submit proposals for a Standing Offer for engineering assignments on the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge. The selected consultant shall provide a range of services as identified in the Required Services section of this document including but not be limited to Pre-Design Services (i.e. Fieldworks in Preparation for Design), Scheduled Inspections (i.e. Comprehensive Detailed Inspections), Field and Laboratory Testing, Structural Inspections, Mechanical and Electrical Inspections, Analysis and Recommendations, General Inspections, Technical Studies such as Seismic, Wind Fatigue and Stability Assessments, Technical Assessments (i.e. Public Safety Review, other investigations, studies and reports), Design Development, Construction Documents, Pre-tender Construction Cost Estimate and Project Schedule. The proponent will include services of in-house experts and sub-consultant(s) and/or specialist consultant(s) which may be required to resolve issues related to electrical, mechanical, vertical transportation, lighting, etc.
The Request for Standing Offer (RFSO) may result in the authorization of two (2) Standing Offers. Proponents are asked to submit a single proposal in response to the RFSO. The resultant Standing Offers will be for a period of three (3) years. Canada anticipates the total value of these standing offers to be approximately $6,000,000.00 (HSTI).
The Burlington Canal Lift Bridge is a tower-drive steel truss vertical lift bridge. Construction of the bridge commenced in 1958 and it was in operation by 1962, to serve both roadway and railway traffic needs crossing the Burlington Canal. The canal and therefore the bridge, accommodates commercial shipping passage between Lake Ontario to the east and Burlington Bay to the west. In 1982 the bridge was modified to remove the railway corridor, and was converted to a four-lane roadway bridge. The four lane bridge structure consists of a lift span across the canal along with one tower span and one approach span at each end of the bridge. The lift span is about 116 m long and 15 m wide with a vertical lift of 33.5 m to accommodate commercial shipping passage through the Burlington Canal. A sidewalk is provided on the west side of the bridge.
The criteria used in the evaluation process will relate to previous achievements and experience of the firm; understanding of the scope of services; approach and methodology; and cost of service, and is more fully detailed in the Solicitation document. The RFSO will be a single submission process. Proposals will be evaluated for both technical content and price. The proposal rankings will be based on 90 % for technical evaluation and 10 % for price. Standing Offer particulars are described in the RFSO.
Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects over the last ten (10) years. In general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the basis of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, their approach and methodology to providing those services, the quality of their relevant experience in this area, as well as the cost of the provision of the services.
Firms interested in providing these services may order the Request for Standing Offer documents which are distributed through the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS). Standard Terms and Conditions for this procurement are incorporated by reference into, and form part of the Tender and Contract Documents. The Standard documents are issued by Public Works and Government Services Canada and may be viewed on buyandsell.gc.ca.
