OBJECTIVE
The CRA has a requirement to acquire high density mobile shelving with mechanical assist that will work with CRA’s pre-existing shelving, in order to increase the storage capacity of Criminal Investigative Division’s Bond Room in Calgary Alberta.
The Contractor is required to work under a phased schedule of installation for the shelving units, as the material in the Bond Room must remain intact in that room (it is CRA’s responsibility for temporary placement within the workspace during installation).
Based on floor load tests, the system fully loaded with media must support 261,978 pounds (118,831.2 kilograms). The system must also be free standing, i.e. a floating “deck” as it cannot be fastened to the existing flooring due to post tension cable construction embedded in the floor. The system must also be capable of incorporating the existing shelving units that are currently in the bond room, as described in Annex A: Statement of Requirement.
PERIOD OF THE CONTRACT
The period of the Contract is from date of Contract award to September 9th, 2015 inclusive
