Insert: PART 5 - CERTIFICATIONS
Bidders must provide the required certifications and related
documentation to be awarded a contract. Canada will declare a
bid non-responsive if the required certifications and related
documentation are not completed and submitted as requested.

Compliance with the certifications bidders provide to Canada is
subject to verification by Canada during the bid evaluation
period (before award of a contract) and after award of a
contract. The Contracting Authority will have the right to ask
for additional information to verify bidders' compliance with
the certifications before award of a contract. The bid will be
declared non-responsive if any certification made by the Bidder
is untrue, whether made knowingly or unknowingly. Failure to
comply with the certifications, to provide the related
documentation or to comply with the request of the Contracting
Authority for additional information will also render the bid
non-responsive.

1. Mandatory Certifications Required Precedent to Contract Award

1.1 Code of Conduct and Certifications - Related documentation

1.1.1 By submitting a bid, the Bidder certifies, for himself
and his affiliates, to be in compliance with the Code of Conduct
and Certifications clause of the Standard instructions. The
related documentation hereinafter mentioned will help Canada in
confirming that the certifications are true. By submitting a
bid, the Bidder certifies that it is aware, and that its
affiliates are aware, that Canada may request additional
information, certifications, consent forms and other evidentiary
elements proving identity or eligibility. Canada may also verify
the information provided by the Bidder, including the
information relating to the acts or convictions specified
herein, through independent research, use of any government
resources or by contacting third parties. Canada will declare
non-responsive any bid in respect of which the information
requested is missing or inaccurate, or in respect of which the
information contained in the certifications is found to be
untrue, in any respect, by Canada. The Bidder and any of the
Bidder's affiliates, will also be required to remain free and
clear of any acts or convictions specified herein during the
period of any contract arising from this bid solicitation.

Bidders who are incorporated, including those bidding as a joint
venture, must provide with their
bid or promptly thereafter a complete list of names of all
individuals who are currently directors of the Bidder. Bidders
bidding as sole proprietorship, including those bidding as a
joint venture,
must provide the name of the owner with their bid or promptly
thereafter. Bidders bidding as
societies, firms, partnerships or associations of persons do not
need to provide lists of names. If
the required names have not been received by the time the
evaluation of bids is completed,
Canada will inform the Bidder of a time frame within which to
provide the information. Failure to comply will render the bid
non-responsive. Providing the required names is a mandatory
requirement for contract award.

Canada may, at any time, request that a Bidder provide properly
completed and Signed Consent
Forms (Consent to a Criminal Record Verification form-
PWGSC-TPSGC 229)
(http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/forms/formulaire…
.html) for any or all
individuals aforementioned within the time specified. Failure to
provide such Consent Forms
within the time period provided will result in the bid being
declared non-responsive.

2. Additional Certifications Precedent to Contract Award
The certifications listed below should be completed and
submitted with the bid, but may be submitted afterwards. If any
of these required certifications is not completed and submitted
as requested, the Contracting Authority will so inform the
Bidder and provide the Bidder with a time frame within which to
meet the requirement. Failure to comply with the request of the
Contracting Authority and meet the requirement within that time
period will render the bid non-responsive.

2.1 Federal Contractors Program - $200,000 or more
1. The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) requires that some
suppliers, including a supplier who is a member of a joint
venture, bidding for federal government contracts, valued at
$200,000 or more (including all applicable taxes), make a formal
commitment to implement employment equity. This is a condition
precedent to contract award. If the Bidder, or, if the Bidder is
a joint venture and if any member of the joint venture, is
subject to the FCP, evidence of its commitment must be provided
before the award of the Contract.

Suppliers who have been declared ineligible contractors by Human
Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) are no longer
eligible to receive government contracts over the threshold for
solicitation of bids as set out in the Government Contracts
Regulations. Suppliers may be declared ineligible contractors
either as a result of a finding of non-compliance by HRSDC, or
following their voluntary withdrawal from the FCP for a reason
other than the reduction of their workforce to less than 100
employees. Any bids from ineligible contractors, including a bid
from a joint venture that has a member who is an ineligible
contractor, will be declared non-responsive.

2. If the Bidder does not fall within the exceptions enumerated
in 3.(a)or (b) below, or does not have a valid certificate
number confirming its adherence to the FCP, the Bidder must fax
(819-953-8768) a copy of the signed form LAB 1168, Certificate
of Commitment to Implement Employment Equity, to the Labour
Branch of HRSDC.

3. The Bidder, or, if the Bidder is a joint venture the member
of the joint venture, certifies its status with the FCP, as
follows:

The Bidder or the member of the joint venture

(a) ( ) is not subject to the FCP, having a workforce of less
than 100 full-time or part-time permanent employees, and/or
temporary employees having worked 12 weeks or more in Canada;

(b) ( ) is not subject to the FCP, being a regulated employer
under the Employment Equity Act, S.C. 1995, c. 44;

(c) ( ) is subject to the requirements of the FCP, having a
workforce of 100 or more full-time or part-time permanent
employees, and/or temporary employees having worked 12 weeks or
more in Canada, but has not previously obtained a certificate
number from HRSDC (having not bid on requirements of $200,000 or
more), in which case a duly signed certificate of commitment is
attached;

(d) ( ) is subject to the FCP, and has a valid certificate
number as follows: _______ (e.g. has not been declared an
ineligible contractor by HRSDC.)

Further information on the FCP is available on the HRSDC Web
site.
