ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM – NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SINGLE SOURCE CONTRACT

ROM ACAN No 2020-002
Closing Date: August 6, 2020 at 2:00:00 PM ET

The Royal Ontario Museum (the ROM) intends to award a single source contract to Research Casting International for the purchase of the following:

Repairs, modifications to the skull, and remounting of a Blue Whale
Repairs to a Blue Whale skull with a baleen
Cleaning, reconstruction and development of missing elements of a Sperm Whale skeleton, including armatures and mounting
Cleaning, reconstruction and development of missing elements of a Right Whale skeleton, including armatures and mounting

To the best of our knowledge, Research Casting International is the only source offering this full portfolio and expertise, with full research and modelling expertise to process whale carcasses, including cleaning and degreasing, possessing the large and specialized facilities and blacksmithing operations to mount, mould, and cast large animals like whales and dinosaurs. Research Casting also holds the exclusive rights to reproduce the fossil whale casts. It is therefore our intention to enter into contract discussions with this vendor.

This is an Advanced Contact Award Notice (ACAN) with the
intention to:
• notify the vendor community that we believe there is only
one source for goods/services described herein;
• notify the vendor community that we plan to enter into
contract with said source for these goods/services; and
• allow for other vendors to submit notice that they also
offer exactly such goods/services.

Providers fully compliant to the requirements set forth herein may submit their interest and statement of capabilities, in writing, to the contact person identified in this ACAN on or before the
closing date. Should any other potential suppliers be identified during the posting period, the ROM will proceed to invite all fully compliant Respondents to participate in a competitive procurement process.

If no other fully compliant supplier submits their interest, on or before the closing date of this ACAN, the competitive requirements of the ROM are considered to have been met. Following notification to any suppliers not successful in demonstrating that they meet the requirements set out in this ACAN, the contract may then be awarded to the pre-identified supplier.
