Offerors must provide the required certifications and related
documentation to be issued a standing offer. Canada will
declare an offer non-responsive if the required certifications
and related documentation are not completed and submitted as
requested.

Compliance with the certifications offerors provide to Canada is
subject to verification by Canada during the offer evaluation
period (before issuance of a standing offer) and after issuance
of a standing offer. The Standing Offer Authority will have the
right to ask for additional information to verify offerors'
compliance with the certifications before issuance of a standing
offer. The offer will be declared non-responsive if any
certification made by the Offeror 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 Standing Offer Authority for
additional information will also render the offer non-responsive.

1. Mandatory Certifications Required Precedent to Issuance of a
Standing Offer

1.1 Code of Conduct and Certifications - Related documentation

1.1.1 By submitting an offer, the Offeror 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 an
offer, the Offeror 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 Offeror, 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 offer 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 Offeror and any of the
Offeror's affiliates, will also be required to remain free and
clear of any acts or convictions specified herein during the
entire period of the Standing Offer and any call-ups made
against the Standing Offer.

Offerors who are incorporated, including those submitting offers
as a joint venture, must provide with their offer or promptly
thereafter a complete list of names of all individuals who are
currently directors of the Offeror. Offerors submitting offers
as sole proprietorship, including those submitting offers as a
joint venture, must provide the name of the owner with their
offer or promptly thereafter. Offerors submitting offers 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 offers is completed,
Canada will inform the Offeror of a time frame within which to
provide the information. Failure to comply will render the
offer non-responsive. Providing the required names is a
mandatory requirement for issuance of a standing offer and award
of a contract.

Canada may, at any time, request that an Offeror 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 offer being declared
non-responsive.

2. Additional Certifications Precedent to Issuance of a
Standing Offer
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 - Certification - $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 the issuance of a standing offer. If the Offeror,
or, if the

Offeror 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 issuance of a standing offer.
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 offers from ineligible contractors, including an
offer from a joint venture that has a member who is an
ineligible contractor, will be declared non-responsive.

2. If the Offeror 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 Offeror 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 Offeror, or, if the Offeror is a joint venture the member
of the joint venture, certifies its status with the FCP, as
follows:

The Offeror 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 offer 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
