The National Capital Commission (NCC) invites bidders having a professional license to practice in Quebec to submit a proposal for the provision of design services and technical assistance services during the construction for the reconstruction of the pedestrian bridge across the Leamy Creek on the Voyageurs Pathway, Gatineau, Quebec.
The team of the bidder should include professionals in engineering disciplines (structures, transportation, electric), landscape architecture, and specialists needed to perform soil decontamination.
Joint Venture Submissions: The NCC will accept proposals from joint venture entities. Note that all proposals, schedules, forms etc. that are submitted to the NCC by a joint venture, as part of their response to the RFP, must be signed by an authorized representative of each of the firms comprising the joint venture. Each proposal submitted by a joint venture must include a covering letter advising the NCC of the constituent firms’ intention to operate as a joint venture if they are awarded a Contract for the work. The letter shall identify each of the firms comprising the joint venture and must be signed by a duly authorized representative of each of the constituent firms. The covering letter submitted with each proposal must include a statement acknowledging that each party to the joint venture understands and agrees that they are jointly and severally liable for all obligations under the RFP as well as any Contract awarded as a result of the RFP. Please note that if the selected proponent is a joint venture, the signed joint venture agreement must be provided prior to the issuance of the Contract. In any joint venture, there shall be only one individual identified as Contract representative. This individual shall be responsible for any and all reporting and communication requirements. Any joint venture whereby firms separate contracting activities amongst themselves and operate independently shall not be accepted in this RFP and shall be considered as non-responsive and receive no further consideration. To ensure equal opportunities for all proponents, and to eliminate risk of conflict of interest, all proponents are advised that the National Capital Commission will not accept more than one submission per firm, whether the firm applies as a single entity, part of a joint venture submission, or as a sub-consulting member of the team
