Title: Simulation and visualization of complex urban scenes
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) requires the services of a Contractor to use their existing or in development tools to process 3D LIDAR, hyperspectral imaging and WAMI imaging data to create 3D complex scenes representing a real or imagined city to simulate sensors mounted on different mobile platforms and to create and execute software control tactical scenarios on 3D scenes.
The organization for which these services are rendered is Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier (DRDC - Valcartier).
The period of service begins at the award of the contract and ends 4 years later at the end of the month.
The Work or a portion of the Work to be performed under the Contract will be on an "as and when requested basis" using a Task Authorization (TA). The Work described in the TA must be in accordance with the scope of the Contract.
The estimated funding available for this contract is $ 850,000.00, applicable taxes not included.
In conformance with the clause "Minimum Work Guarantee - All the Work - Task Authorizations" of this contract, Canada's obligation under the Contract is limited to 10% of the estimated funding available as indicated above.
A contract with Task Authorizations (TAs) is a method of supply for services under which all of the work or a portion of the work will be performed on an "as and when requested basis" through predetermined conditions including an administrative process involving task authorizations. Contracts with TAs are used in service contracting situations when there is a defined need by a client to rapidly have access to one or more categories of service(s) that are expected to be needed on a repetitive basis during the period of the contract. Under contracts with TAs, the work to be carried out can be defined but the exact nature and timeframes of the required services, activities and deliverables will only be known as and when the service(s) will be required during the period of the contract. The contract with TAs must stipulate the conditions for issuing TAs. A TA is a structured administrative tool enabling PWGSC or a client to authorize work by a contractor on an "as and when requested" basis in accordance with the conditions of the contract. TAs are not individual contracts.
Canada has determined that any intellectual property arising from the performance of work under the resulting contract will belong to the contractor.
