INTRODUCTION

This second RFIC is a result of the first industry day. This
RFIC is to seek industry input on the proposed RFSA evaluation
and selection criteria and the subsequent selection and
evaluation criteria for the Supply Arrangement Request for
Proposals (SARFP).

The purpose of the second Information Session is to finalize the
evaluation criteria. The second Information Session is intended
to be an open forum allowing PWGSC to communicate with
interested suppliers and seek their input on the the proposed
evaluation criteria.

Suppliers interested in participating in the second information
session are asked to provide the names, e-mail addresses and
phone numbers of all proposed attendees with their RFIC
submission. It is anticipated that the Information Session will
be held at 350 Albert Street in Ottawa on August 14, 2014 at
10:00AM.

1. NATURE OF REQUEST FOR INDUSTRY COMMENTS

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFIC will not result in the
award of any contract, therefore, potential suppliers of any
goods or services described in the attached project outline
should not earmark stock or facilities, nor allocate resources,
as a result of any information contained in this RFIC. Nor will
this RFIC result in the creation of any source list, therefore,
whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFIC will
not preclude that supplier from participating in any future
procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the goods and
services described in this RFIC will not necessarily follow this
RFIC. This RFIC is simply intended to solicit feedback from
industry with respect to the matters described in this RFIC.

2. NATURE AND FORMAT OF RESPONSES REQUESTED

Respondents are requested to provide their comments, concerns
and, where applicable, recommendations on how the requirements
or objectives described in the project outline could be
satisfied. Respondents should explain any assumptions they make
in their responses.

3. RESPONSE COSTS

Canada will not reimburse any respondent for expenses incurred
in responding to this RFIC.

4. TREATMENT OF RESPONSES:

i. Use of Responses: Responses will not be formally evaluated.
However, the responses received may be used by Canada to modify
procurement strategies or any draft documents contained in this
RFIC. Canada will review all responses received by the RFIC
closing date. Canada may, in its discretion, review responses
received after the RFIC closing date.

ii. Review Team: A review team composed of representatives from
PWGSC will review the responses on behalf of Canada. Canada
reserves the right to hire any independent consultant, or use
any Government resources, which it deems necessary to review any
response. Not all members of the review team will necessarily
review all responses.

iii. Confidentiality: Respondents should mark any portions of
their response that they consider proprietary or confidential.
Canada will treat those portions of the responses as
confidential to the extent permitted by the Access to
Information Act.
iv. Follow-up Activity: Canada may, in its discretion, contact
any respondents to follow up with additional questions or for
clarification of any aspect of a response.

5. CONTENT OF THIS RFIC

This RFIC contains the evaluation criteria roughly based on the
previous Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA). This document
remains a work in progress and respondents should not assume
that new clauses or requirements will not be added to any bid
solicitation that is ultimately published by Canada. Nor should
respondents assume that none of the clauses or requirements will
be deleted or revised. Comments regarding any aspect of the
proposed procurement are welcome.

6. ENQUIRIES

Client Departments and Agencies. The purpose of this Internet
site is to provide information on the services available and the
Supplier's qualifications to provide those services. Therefore,
in order to meet this mandatory requirement, the Supplier MUST
have an Internet site and provide the active Internet address.

M.3 EXPERIENCE OF THE FIRM (The demo samples will be rated
under R.1)
The Supplier MUST demonstrate their experience by submitting one
(1) USB key demo of at least four (4) samples produced and
completed within the last five (5) years. The total running time
of the samples MUST not exceed twenty (20) minutes in length.
The productions MUST have been completed entirely by the
Supplier in its original language under a contract with the
public sector or private industry.

2. BASIS OF SELECTION

2.1 Minimum Point Rating

To be declared responsive, a supplier must:

comply with all the requirements of the Request for Supply
Arrangement (RFSA); and
meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria; and
obtain the required minimum of 70 percent of the available
points for each rated criteria and an overall passing mark of 80
points on a scale of 100 points.

Suppliers not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) above will be declared
non-responsive.

All fully responsive suppliers and all fully responsive
Aboriginal suppliers will be listed on the "Standard" list of
Supply Arrangement Holders. A separate list will be created for
Aboriginal suppliers only under the Set-Aside Program for
Aboriginal Business.

There is no limit to the number of Supply Arrangement's to be
put in place.

DETAILED EVALUATION PROCESS FOR REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS
ISSUED UNDER THE SUPPLY ARRANGEMENT (SARFP)

1. EVALUATION CRITERIA
The evaluation criteria will be delineated in the request for
proposal the Supply Arrangement Request for Proposals (SARFP).
Evaluation criteria will be categorized either as mandatory or
as rated evaluation criteria. Associated weighting factors with
regard to rated requirements will be identified. Evaluation
criteria can be subject to both a mandatory and a point rated
evaluation system.

1.1 Mandatory Evaluation Criteria
Mandatory evaluation criteria identify at the outset the minimum
requirements for bids to be considered. Mandatory evaluation
criteria are evaluated on a simple pass/fail basis. When
mandatory evaluation criteria are used, the SARFP will clearly
indicate that failure to meet any of the mandatory criteria will
render the bid non-compliant and that it will be given no
further consideration. Mandatory criteria will be expressed by
using imperative verbs such as "must" and "will".

1.2 Point Rated Evaluation Criteria
The SARFP will clearly state all evaluation factors and their
relative importance. Point rated evaluation criteria will be
used to establish the minimum requirements (by setting a passing
mark) that a bid must meet to be considered a valid and
responsive proposal. The evaluation can be set to include an
overall pass mark for proposals or pass mark for each individual
evaluation criterion, and/or a group of criteria.

Point rated criteria identify those elements that can be
evaluated on a variety of characteristics to determine the
relative technical merit of each proposal.

2. BASIS OF SELECTION
The highest point rated proposal within a specified budget will
be selected. With this selection method, the supplier who has
provided a firm price that is within the project budget and who
has received the highest point rating for their technical
proposal will be recommended for contract award.

3. BASIS OF PAYMENT
A Firm Price contract will be used. Multiple invoice payments
will be permitted.

4. STEPS IN THE RFP PROCESS FOR ALL COMPETED REQUIREMENTS
The SARFP as issued by the PWGSC Contracting Authority will
include a Statement of Work (SOW), the evaluation criteria, the
basis of selection and a bid closing date. The SARFP will be
sent electronically to SA Holders via e-mail.

An SARFP Under the Supply Arrangements is used for requirements
valued at more than $25,000 but less than $400,000 excluding
applicable taxes. Supply Arrangement Holders will be invited to
submit a proposal for this solicitation process based on the
following selection process:

Two Suppliers picked on a rotational basis; and
Two Supply Arrangement holders as recommended by the Client; and
One Supply Arrangement Holder selected at random by PWGSC. The
"random" selection will be made using the RAND () function in
Microsoft Excel, all of which are determined in accordance with
the Basis of Selection at article 2 in Part 4 of the
solicitation document.

NOTE: The Suppliers will be given 48 hours from the time they
are invited to bid to confirm their intention to bid. If a
supplier intends not to bid on a particular invitation, they
must advise the contracting officer who will remove them from
that invitation and pick an other supplyer using the random
selection criteria identified above. This will only be done once
to avoid having to extend the bid closing date.

As a result and as much as possible, all SARFPs will have at
least five bidders to maintain fair competition.

Overall, individual contracts under the Supply Arrangements must
not exceed $400,000.00 (Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized
Sales Tax excluding).

As indicated in the SARFP, the SA Holder will be required to
submit a proposal within the specified time frame. The time
frame will be determined based on the complexity of the
requirement.

As requested, the SA Holder will submit a proposal only to
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Bid
Receiving Unit by the date, time and place indicated in the
Mini-RFP or RFP. The Bidder's proposal is not intended to
duplicate the SOW, but rather to offer a description of how and
when the Bidder proposes to satisfy the requirement, along with
the proposed prices for doing so.

Bidders may request written clarification of SARFP requirements.
Such requests for clarification will be sent to the PWGSC
Contracting Authority though electronic means or through written
correspondence by the date indicated in the SARFP and within the
parameters stated in the SARFP.

The PWGSC Contracting Authority will answer clarification
requests to all bidders. As a result of clarification requests,
the PWGSC Contracting Authority will determine if any revisions
to SOW requirements or evaluation criteria is required, and if
necessary, issue an amendment to the Mini-RFP/RFP.

5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
The proposals will be evaluated consistent with the evaluation
factors identified in the SARFP.

SAMPLE SARFP EVALUATION CRITERIA

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS

M.1 FINANCIAL PROPOSAL
The Bidder MUST submit a financial proposal with a firm price
not exceeding $XXXXX (Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized Sales
Tax extra, as appropriate). The maximum amount includes travel
expenses.

The Bidder must submit a detailed pricing proposal (indicating
units e.g. days, weeks, hours, dollar rates, etc.) that
correlates with the production schedule and resource allocation
of the project. The Bidder must also provide sufficient budget
details in terms of categories, line items, unit prices/rates,
level of effort, with consistent budget structures and breakdown
for each production phase.

The Bidder must treat any travel expenses as a separate item.
Note that the Bidder's fee should include the travel expenses
associated with attending mandatory meetings. Travel costs
should be calculated according to Treasury Board Travel Rates
and Policies which can be found at the following weblink:
http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pubs_pol/hrpubs/TBM_113/c-en…

1.1.2 RATED TECHNICAL CRITERIA

Proposals will be evaluated and scored in accordance with
specific evaluation criteria as detailed in this section. To be
considered compliant, bidders must obtain the required minimum
of 70 percent of the points for each rated criteria and an
overall passing mark of 96 points. The rating is performed on a
scale of 120 points. Proposals scoring less than 70 percent in
one of these criterion will not be given further consideration.

NOTE: Percentage factors will be the basis used to allocate
points for all rated requirements. The number of points will be
calculated depending on the total value given for each
criterion. For example, if we give 0.7 as a score for R.1.1 (35
points X 0.7 = 24.5 points), this is equal to 70% of the total
value given for that criterion. We cannot deviate from the
established scoring grid. For example, we could not give a score
of 0.75 (75%). We would have to choose between a 0.7 or a 0.8
(70% or 80%).
