Work under this contract covers roof removal, disposal, and replacement of the specified roof systems located on the Gymnasium Road Campus of the National Research Council of Canada.
1. GENERAL:
Questions regarding any aspect of the project are to be addressed to and answered only by the Departmental Representative (or his designate) or the Contracting Authority.
Any information received other than from the Departmental Representative (or his designate) or the Contracting Authority will be disregarded when awarding the contract and during construction.
Firms intending to submit tenders on this project should obtain tender documents through the Buyandsell.gc.ca TMA services provider. Addenda, when issued, will be available from the Buyandsell.gc.ca TMA service provider. Firms that elect to base their bids on tender documents obtained from other sources do so at their own risk and will be solely responsible to inform the tender calling authority of their intention to bid. Tender packages are not available for distribution on the actual day of tender closing.
2. MANDATORY SITE VISIT:
It is mandatory that the bidder attends one of the site visits at the designated date and time.
At least one representative from proponents that intend to bid must attend.
The site visits will be held on May 10 th
and May 11 th , 2022 at
10:00am . Meet Jazmin McLean at SAS Building, 110 Gymnasium Place, Saskatoon, SK. Bidders who, for any reason, cannot attend at the specified date and time will not be given an alternative appointment to view the site and their tenders, therefore, will be considered as non-responsive.
NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.
As proof of attendance, at the site visit, the Contracting Authority will have an Attendance Form which MUST be signed by the bidder’s representative. It is the responsibility of all bidders to ensure they have signed the Mandatory Site Visit Attendance form prior to leaving the site. Proposals submitted by bidders who have not attended the site visit or failed to sign the Attendance Form will be deemed non-responsive.
* Due to COVID-19, we are taking additional measures to protect you and our employees at the site visits.
To allow NRC to prepare for the site visits, all proponents are asked to pre-register preferably 48 hours ahead of the job showing and identify their preferred site visit date. Please register by emailing Collin Long at Collin.Long@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca. Bidders shall provide contact name, email and phone number of person attending.
At the site visit, to limit contact and risks:
The proponents will sanitize their hands at the hand sanitizing station.
The proponents will be asked to sign the Attendance Form. It is the responsibility of all proponents to verify information on the Attendance Form.
The site visit will proceed with a maximum of four (4) proponents at a time. Each group will have approximately 20 minutes to review the site. The site visit will continue with the next group of four (4) proponents until each one has had a chance to review the site.
The site visits could take longer than usual, therefore anticipate a longer meeting duration.
Physical distancing: keeping a distance of at least 2 arms-length (approximately 2 metres) from others may not be possible at all times, therefore the use of NRC issued disposable face coverings to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is mandatory.
The proponents shall not impede safe access to and from the facility.
Depending on the anticipated amount of pre-registration, the NRC may decide to schedule time slots for every group of four (4) proponents. The time slot for your site visit will be confirmed by the NRC Departmental Representative by email upon pre-registration. That time will supersede the site visit meeting time specified above.
Proposals submitted by bidders who have not attended the site visit or failed to submit their identification and contact information at the site visit will be deemed non-responsive.
