1.1 Exchange Rate Fluctuation Risk Mitigation Exchange Rate
Fluctuation Risk Mitigation
1. The Offeror may request Canada to assume the risks and
benefits of exchange rate fluctuations. If the Offeror claims
for an exchange rate adjustment, this request must be clearly
indicated in the offer at time of bidding. The Offeror must
submit form PWGSC-TPSGC 450, Claim for Exchange Rate Adjustments
before issuance of a standing offer, indicating the Foreign
Currency Component (FCC) in Canadian dollars for each line item
for which an exchange rate adjustment is required.
2. The FCC is defined as the portion of the price or rate that
will be directly affected by exchange rate fluctuations. The FCC
should include all related taxes, duties and other costs paid by
the Offeror and which are to be included in the adjustment
amount.
3. The total price paid by Canada on each invoice will be
adjusted at the time of payment, based on the FCC and the
exchange rate fluctuation provision in the contract. The
exchange rate adjustment will only be applied where the exchange
rate fluctuation is greater than 2% (increase or decrease).
4. At time of bidding, the Offeror must complete columns (1) to
(4) on form PWGSC-TPSGC 450, for each line item where they want
to invoke the exchange rate fluctuation provision. Where offers
are evaluated in Canadian dollars, the dollar values provided in
column (3) should also be in Canadian dollars, so that the
adjustment amount is in the same currency as the payment.
5. Alternate rates or calculations proposed by the Offeror will
not be accepted for the purposes of this exchange rate
fluctuation provision.

4.7 Exchange Rate Fluctuation Adjustment
1. The foreign currency component (FCC) is defined as the
portion of the price or rate that will be directly affected by
exchange rate fluctuation. The FCC should include all related
taxes, duties and other costs paid by the Contractor and which
are to be included in the adjustment amount.
2. For each line item where a FCC is identified, Canada assumes
the risks and benefits for exchange rate fluctuation, as shown
in the Basis of Payment. For such items, the exchange rate
fluctuation amount is determined in accordance with the
provision of this clause.
3. The total price paid by Canada on each invoice will be
adjusted at the time of payment, based on the FCC and the
exchange rate fluctuation provisions in the contract. The
exchange rate adjustment amount will be calculated in accordance
with the following formula:
Adjustment = FCC x Qty x ( i1 - i0 ) / i0
where formula variables correspond to:
FCC
Foreign Currency Component (per unit)
i0
Initial exchange rate (CAN$ per unit of foreign currency [e.g.
US$1])
i1
exchange rate for adjustments (CAN$ per unit of foreign currency
[e.g. US$1])
Qty
quantity of units
4. The initial exchange rate is typically set as the noon rate
as published by the Bank of Canada on the solicitation closing
date.
5. For goods and services, the exchange rate for adjustment will
be the noon rate as published by the Bank of Canada on the date
the call-up is issued. For advance payments, the exchange rate
for adjustment will be the noon rate on the date the payment was
due. The most recent noon rate will be used for non-business
days.
6. The Contractor must indicate the total exchange rate
adjustment amount (either upward, downward or no change) as a
separate item on each invoice or claim for payment submitted
under the Contract. Where an adjustment applies, the Contractor
must submit with their invoice form PWGSC-TPSGC 450, Claim for
Exchange Rate Adjustments.
7. The exchange rate adjustment will only be applied where the
exchange rate fluctuation is greater than 2% (increase or
decrease), calculated in accordance with column 8 of form
PWGSC-TPSGC 450 (i.e [ i1 - i0 ) / i0]).
8. For each extended periods, the FCC will be revised in
accordance with Annex K - Price Determination - Industrial
Product Price Indexes.
9. Canada reserves the right to audit any revision to costs and
prices under this clause.
All other terms and conditions remain the same.
