GPS/LBS receiver for a multi-piece unit. In a one-piece unit it
is combined with the GPS/LBS receiver.

Charging Unit. This may be a docking station hooked up to power
and a phone line or it may simply be a charging cord. It is the
method by which the GPS/LBS receiver is recharged on a regular
basis.

Multi-piece Units. Components consist of:
a) one ankle bracelet,
b) one separate GPS/LBS receiver, and
c) one charging unit.

The receiver is typically worn at hip level while the bracelet
is worn on the ankle. The bracelet and receiver communicate via
RF technology to ensure their proximity to one another.

GPS/LBS Receiver. This refers to the portion of the GPS/LBS
system that receives and transmits the location data. In a
multi-piece unit, the receiver is a separate device that is
typically worn at hip level. In a one-piece unit, this is
combined with the bracelet and typically worn on the ankle.

One-piece Units. Components consist of:
a) a bracelet and an un-detachable GPS/LBS receiver, in one
device, typically worn on the ankle, and
b) one separate charging unit.

Software Terms

Exclusion Zone. An area which is designated as prohibited to
the supervisee. This zone is defined within the GPS/LBS
software and when the supervisee enters the exclusion zone an
alert is sent.

Inclusion Zone. An area which is designated as required for a
supervisee during a specified time. For instance, the
supervisee's home may be identified as an inclusion zone from 6
pm to 7 am indicating that they must be in their home during
those hours, or an alert will be sent. This feature can also be
used to verify attendance at school, authorized outings, work,
treatment, etc., during specific times.

Travel Zone. A travel zone specifies a location in which a
supervisee is allowed to travel during specific times.

Jurisdictional Zone. This refers to a zone that covers the
entire approved area of a supervisee's release (the jurisdiction
of the CBSA, such as a region or province). Such zones are
essentially a large inclusion zone that allow for the other
types of zones to be set within it (i.e., an inclusion or
exclusion zone).

Report Types

Supervisee Location Reports. Reports showing such elements as
an individual supervisee's movement path, alerts, and or
location data points.

Inventory Reports. Reports that reflect CBSA inventory status.

Management Reports. Reports related to system user activity
associated with the device as required by the CBSA (i.e., audit
reports and composite alert reports for all supervisees).

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
