Note: Questions are provided in the language used by the firm. Answers are provided in
both official languages.

Question 1: Nous voulons évaluer avec vous la possibilité de revoir votre clause
annulation.

Annulation plus de 48h avant l'événement sans frais est très risquée pour nous, surtout
pour la catégorie F. Nous avons seulement 3 unités dans cette catégorie et beaucoup
plus de demandes que d'unités disponibles.

Nous ne sommes pas confortables avec un événement qui annule sans frais alors qu'un
autre événement aurait pris l'équipement plein prix. Nos clauses habituelles sont 50%
due annulation plus de 30 jours avant, 100% due annulation moins de 30 jours avant
l'événement. Est-ce possible de discuter avec vous sur une clause annulation qui serait
un peu plus juste envers nous et la réalité de notre marché?

Réponse 1: Veuillez svp vous référez à la modification 001

Answer 1: Please refer to amendment 001.

bids. Offerors submitted by Suppliers of a Non-Trading Partner will be rejected.
1.4 Security Requirements

There are security requirements associated with the requirement of the Standing Offer.
For additional information, see Part 6 - Security, Financial and Insurance Requirements,
and Part 7 - Standing Offer and Resulting Contract Clauses. For more information on
personnel and organization security screening or security clauses, Offerors should refer
to the Contract Security Program of Public Works and Government Services Canada
(http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/esc-src/introduction-eng.html) website.

working days from receipt of the results of the request for standing offer process. The
debriefing may be in writing, by telephone or virtual meeting, or in person.

1.6 Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT)

As a general rule, a complaint regarding this procurement process must be filed with the
Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) within 10 working days from the
date on which a bidder becomes aware, or reasonably should have become aware, of a
ground of complaint. Alternatively, within that time frame, a bidder may first choose to
raise its ground of complaint by way of an objection to PCH; if PCH denies the relief
being sought, a bidder may then file a complaint with the Tribunal within 10 working
days of that denial. In certain exceptional circumstances, a 30-day time frame may be
applicable for filing a complaint with the Tribunal. More information can be obtained on
the Tribunal’s Web site (www.citt-tcce.gc.ca) or by contacting the Registrar of the
Tribunal at 613-990-2452. Reference: section 6 of the Canadian International Trade

Page 11 of 98

Canadian Heritage (PCH) will only accept offers transmitted via e-mail.  Offers

via e-mail by the specified date and time.  Indicate the title of the Request for Standing
Offers in the email subject field.  The email address to transmit offers is: contrats-
contracting@pch.gc.ca

If it is necessary to transmit an offer in more than one e-mail due to the e-mail size
restrictions, the e-mails should cross reference each other (i.e., 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc.).
Offerors are encouraged to keep a confirmation that their e-mail was sent and delivered.

Section 20 titled “Further information”, paragraph 2 is hereby deleted and replaced with

Technical Difficulties of Offer Transmission

Despite anything to the contrary in (05), (06), (07) or (08) of the Standard Instructions or
listed above, where a Offeror has commenced transmission of its Offer through an
electronic submission method (such as facsimile or Canada Post Corporation's (CPC)
Connect service, or other online service) in advance of the solicitation closing date and
time, but due to technical difficulties, Canada was unable to receive or decode the
entirety of the Offer by the deadline, Canada may nonetheless accept the entirety of the
Offer received after the solicitation closing date and time, provided that the Offeror can
demonstrate the following:

(i)The Offeror contacted Canada in advance of the solicitation closing date and time to
attempt to resolve its technical difficulties; OR

(ii) The electronic properties of the Offer documentation clearly indicate that all
components of the Offer were prepared in advance of the solicitation closing date and
time.

Completeness of the Offer

After the closing date and time of this Offer solicitation, Canada will examine the Offer to
determine completeness. The review for completeness will be limited to identifying
whether any information submitted as part of the offer can be accessed, opened, and/or
decoded. This review does not constitute an evaluation of the content, will not assess
whether the Offer meets any standard or is responsive to all solicitation requirements,
but will be solely limited to assessing completeness. Canada will provide the Offeror
  Request for Standing Offer Number: 10251555
Standing Offer Authority: Stéphanie Dupel

Page 12 of 98

with the opportunity to submit information found to be missing or incomplete in this
review within two business days of notice.

Specifically, the offer will be reviewed and deemed to be complete when the following
elements have been submitted by the Offeror:

1. That certifications and securities required at offer closing are included.
2. That offers are properly signed, that the Offeror is properly identified.
3. Acceptance of the terms and conditions of the solicitation and resulting Standing
Offer.
4. That all documents created prior to offer solicitation closing but due to technical
difficulties Canada was unable to receive them, have been properly submitted
and received by Canada.
5. All certifications, declarations and proofs created prior to offer solicitation closing
but due to technical difficulties Canada was unable to receive them, have been
properly submitted and received by Canada.

2.3 Submission of Offers

transmitted by facsimile or mail to PCH will not be accepted.

Offers must only be submitted by e-mail by the date and time to the e-mail address
indicated on page 1 of the Request for Standing Offers document.

2.4 Former Public Servants

Contracts awarded to former public servants (FPS) in receipt of a pension or of a lump
sum payment must bear the closest public scrutiny, and reflect fairness in the spending
of public funds. In order to comply with Treasury Board policies and directives on
contracts awarded to FPS, Offerors must provide the information required below before
the issuance of a standing offer. If the answer to the questions and, as applicable the
information required have not been received by the time the evaluation of offers is
completed, Canada will inform the Offeror of a time frame within which to provide the
information. Failure to comply with Canada’s request and meet the requirement within
the prescribed time frame will render the offer non-responsive.

Definitions

For the purposes of this clause,

“former public servant” is any former member of a department as defined in the
Financial Administration Act, R.S., 1985, c. F-11, a former member of the Canadian

as a result of the implementation of various programs to reduce the size of the Public
Service.  The lump sum payment period does not include the period of severance pay,
which is measured in a like manner.

“pension” means a pension or annual allowance paid under the Public Service
Superannuation Act (PSSA), R.S., 1985, c. P-36, and any increases paid pursuant to
the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act, R.S., 1985, c. S-24 as it affects the PSSA.
It does not include pensions payable pursuant to the Canadian Forces Superannuation
Act, R.S., 1985, c. C-17, the Defence Services Pension Continuation Act, 1970, c. D-3,
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pension Continuation Act , 1970, c. R-10, and the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act, R.S., 1985, c. R-11, the Members
of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act, R.S. 1985, c. M-5, and that portion of pension
payable to the Canada Pension Plan Act, R.S., 1985, c. C-8.

Former Public Servant in Receipt of a Pension

If so, the Offeror must provide the following information, for all FPS in receipt of a
pension, as applicable:

By providing this information, Offerors agree that the successful Offeror’s status, with
respect to being a former public servant in receipt of a pension, will be reported on
departmental websites as part of the published proactive disclosure reports in
accordance with Contracting Policy Notice: 2019-01 and the Guidelines on the
Proactive Disclosure of Contracts.

2.5 Enquiries – Request for Standing Offers

All enquiries must be submitted in writing to the Standing Offer Authority no later than
four (4) business days before the Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) closing date.
Enquiries received after that time may not be answered.

Offerors should reference as accurately as possible the numbered item of the RFSO to
which the enquiry relates. Care should be taken by Offerors to explain each question in
sufficient detail to enable Canada to provide an accurate answer. Technical enquiries
that are of a proprietary nature must be clearly marked "proprietary" at each relevant
item. Items identified as “proprietary” will be treated as such except where Canada
determines that the enquiry is not of a proprietary nature. Canada may edit the
question(s) or may request that the Offeror do so, so that the proprietary nature of the
question(s) is eliminated, and the enquiry and its response can be provided to all
Offerors. Enquiries not submitted in a form that can be distributed to all Offerors may
not be answered by Canada.

2.6 Applicable Laws

The Standing Offer and any contract resulting from the Standing Offer must be
interpreted and governed, and the relations between the parties determined, by the laws
in force in Ontario.

Offerors may, at their discretion, substitute the applicable laws of a Canadian province
or territory of their choice without affecting the validity of their offer, by deleting the
name of the Canadian province or territory specified and inserting the name of the
Canadian province or territory of their choice. If no change is made, it acknowledges
that the applicable laws specified are acceptable to the Offerors.

2.7 Bid Challenge and Recourse Mechanisms

(a) Several mechanisms are available to potential Offerors to challenge aspects of the
procurement process up to and including contract award.

(b) Canada encourages  Offerors to first bring their concerns to the attention of the
Contracting Authority.  Canada’s Buy and Sell  website, under the heading “ Bid
Challenge and Recourse Mechanisms ” contains information on potential complaint
bodies such as:

• Office of the Procurement Ombudsman (OPO)
• Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT)

(c) Offerors should note that there are strict deadlines for filing complaints, and the time
periods vary depending on the complaint body in question. Offerors should therefore
act quickly when they want to challenge any aspect of the procurement process.

2.8 Terms and Conditions

By submitting an Offer, the Offeror hereby certifies compliance with, and acceptance of
all the articles, clauses, terms, and conditions contained or referenced in this Request
for Standing Offers (RFSO) and Statement of Work (SOW).  Any modifications or

PART 3 – OFFER PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Offer Preparation Instructions

PCH will only accept offers by e-mail at contrats-contracting@pch.gc.ca.  Offers
transmitted by facsimile or mail to PCH will not be accepted.

The PCH e-mail server cannot accept any e-mail transmission that is 35 MB or more.   It
is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure that their complete e-mail offer be delivered
to PCH by the specified date and time. If due to e-mail or document size issues it is
necessary to send documents using more than one e-mail, this is acceptable, but they
must be cross referenced to each other.  Offers that arrive after the specified date and
time will not be accepted.

The Offer must be gathered per section and separated as follows:

Section I: Technical
Section II: Financial
Section III: Certifications
Section IV: Additional Information

Section I: Technical
In their technical offer, Offerors should demonstrate their understanding of the
requirements contained in the Request for Standing Offers and explain how they will
meet these requirements. Offerors should demonstrate their capability in a thorough,
concise, and clear manner for carrying out the work.

The technical offer should address clearly and in sufficient depth each evaluation
criteria against which the offer will be evaluated. Simply repeating the statement
contained in the Request for Proposals (RFSO) is not sufficient.  Offers are evaluated
solely on the evidence presented within the Technical Offer, and the Offeror is
responsible for ensuring that their Offer contains all the necessary information to
complete the evaluation.  To facilitate the evaluation of the offer, Canada requests that
Offerors address and present topics in the order of the evaluation criteria under the
same headings. To avoid duplication, Offerors may refer to different sections of their
offers by identifying the specific paragraph and page number where the subject topic
has already been addressed.

submitting an Offer.  Categories are defined in the Statement of Work at Annex “A”.

Note to Offerors: The financial evaluation grid is a document provided for information
purposes only.  Offerors are to submit their prices using Annex B – Basis of Payment.

Attachment 3 to Part 4 – Financial evaluation grid.

exchange rate fluctuation risk mitigation will not be considered. All offers including such
provision will render the offer non-responsive.

PART 4 – EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND BASIS OF SELECTION

4.1 Phased Offer Compliance Process

Canada will use the Phased Offer Compliance Process (POCP) described below.

a) Phased Offer Compliance Process

(i) Canada is conducting the POCP described below for this requirement.

(ii) Notwithstanding any review by Canada at Phase I or II of the P OCP, Offerors are
and will remain solely responsible for the accuracy, consistency and completeness
of their Offers and Canada does not undertake, by reason of this review, any
obligations or responsibility for identifying any or all errors or omissions in Offers
or in responses by a Offeror to any communication from Canada.

THE OFFEROR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE REVIEWS IN PHASE I AND II OF
THIS P OCP ARE PRELIMINARY AND DO NOT PRECLUDE A FINDING IN
PHASE III THAT THE OFFER IS NON-RESPONSIVE, EVEN FOR MANDATORY
REQUIREMENTS WHICH WERE SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN PHASE I OR II AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE OFFER HAD BEEN FOUND RESPONSIVE IN
SUCH EARLIER PHASE. CANADA MAY DEEM A N OFFER TO BE NON -
RESPONSIVE TO A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT AT ANY PHASE.

THE OFFEROR ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ITS RESPONSE TO A NOTICE
OR A COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT (CAR) (EACH DEFINED BELOW)
IN PHASE I OR II MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN RENDERING ITS OFFER
RESPONSIVE TO THE MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE THE
SUBJECT OF THE NOTICE OR CAR, AND MAY RENDER ITS BID NON -
RESPONSIVE TO OTHER MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS.

(iii) Canada may, in its discretion, request and accept at any time from an Offeror and
consider as part of the Offer, any information to correct errors or deficiencies in the
Offer that are clerical or administrative, such as, without limitation, failure to sign
the Offer or any part or to checkmark a box in a form, or other failure of format or
form or failure to acknowledge; failure to provide a procurement business number
or contact information such as names, addresses and telephone numbers;
inadvertent errors in numbers or calculations that do not change the amount the
Offeror has specified as the price or of any component thereof that is subject to
evaluation. This must not limit Canada’s right to request or accept any information
after the offer solicitation closing in circumstances where the offer solicitation
expressly provides for this right. The Offeror will have the time period specified in
writing by Canada to provide the necessary documentation. Failure to meet this
deadline will result in the Offer being declared non-responsive.

  Request for Standing Offer Number: 10251555
Standing Offer Authority: Stéphanie Dupel

Page 19 of 98

(iv) The POCP does not limit Canada’s rights under Standard Acquisition Clauses and
Conditions (SACC) 2006 (2023-06-08) Standard Instructions Goods or Services –
Competitive Requirements nor Canada’s right to request or accept any information
during the solicitation period or after  offer solicitation closing in circumstances
where the offer solicitation expressly provides for this right, or in the circumstances
described in subsection (c).

(v) Canada will send any Notice or CAR by any method Canada chooses, in its
absolute discretion. The Offeror must submit its response by the method stipulated
in the Notice or CAR. Responses are deemed to be received by Canada at the
date and time they are delivered to Canada by the method and at the address
specified in the Notice or CAR. An email response permitted by the Notice or CAR
is deemed received by Canada on the date and time it is received in Canada’s
email inbox at Canada’s email address specified in the Notice or CAR. A Notice or
CAR sent by Canada to the Offeror at any address provided by the Offeror in or
pursuant to the Offer is deemed received by the Offeror on the date it is sent by
Canada. Canada is not responsible for late receipt by Canada of a response,
however caused.

b) Phase I: Financial Offer

(i) After the closing date and time of this offer solicitation, Canada will examine the
Offer to determine whether it includes a Financial Offer and whether any Financial
Offer includes all information required by the solicitation. Canada’s review in Phase
I will be limited to identifying whether any information that is required under the
offer solicitation to be included in the Financial Offer is missing from the Financial
Offer. This review will not assess whether the Financial Offer meets any standard
or is responsive to all solicitation requirements.

(ii) Canada’s review in Phase I will be performed by officials of the Department of
Canadian Heritage (PCH).

(iii) If Canada determines, in its absolute discretion that there is no Financial Offer or
that the Financial Offer is missing all of the information required by the offer
solicitation to be included in the Financial Offer, then the Offer will be considered
non-responsive and will be given no further consideration.

(iv) For Offers other than those described in c), Canada will send a written notice to
the Offeror (“Notice”) identifying where the Financial Offer is missing information.
An Offeror, whose Financial Offer has been found responsive to the requirements
that are reviewed at Phase I, will not receive a Notice. Such Offerors must not be
entitled to submit any additional information in respect of their Financial Offers.

(v) The Offerors who have been sent a Notice must have the time period specified in
the Notice (the “Remedy Period”) to remedy the matters identified in the Notice by
providing to Canada, in writing, additional information or clarification in response
  Request for Standing Offer Number: 10251555
Standing Offer Authority: Stéphanie Dupel

Page 20 of 98

to the Notice. Responses received after the end of the Remedy Period will not be
considered by Canada, except in circumstances and on terms expressly provided
for in the Notice.

(vi) In its response to the Notice, the Offeror will be entitled to remedy only that part of
its Financial Offer which is identified in the Notice. For instance, where the Notice
states that a required line item has been left blank, only the missing information
may be added to the Financial Offer, except in those instances where the addition
of such information will necessarily result in a change to other calculations
previously submitted in its Financial Offer, (for example, the calculation to
determine a total  price), such necessary adjustments must be identified by the
Bidder and only these adjustments must be made. All submitted information must
comply with the requirements of this solicitation.

(vii) Any other changes to the Financial Offer submitted by the Offeror will be
considered to be new information and will be disregarded. There will be no change
permitted to any other Section of the Offeror’s Offer. Information submitted in
accordance with the requirements of this solicitation in response to the Notice will
replace, in full, only that part of the original Financial Offer as is permitted above,
and will be used for the remainder of the offer evaluation process.

(viii) Canada will determine whether the Financial Offer is responsive to the
requirements reviewed at Phase I, considering such additional information or
clarification as may have been provided by the Offeror in accordance with this
Section. If the Financial Offer is not found responsive for the requirements
reviewed at Phase I to the satisfaction of Canada, then the Offer must be
considered non-responsive and will receive no further consideration.

(ix) Only Offers found responsive to the requirements reviewed in Phase I to the
satisfaction of Canada, will receive a Phase II review.

c) Phase II: Technical Offer

(i) Canada’s review at Phase II will be limited to a review of the Technical Offer to
identify any instances where the Offeror has failed to meet any Eligible Mandatory
Criterion. This review will not assess whether the Technical Offer meets any
standard or is responsive to all solicitation requirements. Eligible Mandatory
Criteria are all mandatory technical criteria that are identified in this solicitation as
being subject to the P OCP. Mandatory technical criteria that are not identified in
the solicitation as being subject to the POCP, will not be evaluated until Phase III.

(ii) Canada will send a written notice to the Offeror (Compliance Assessment Report
or “CAR”) identifying any Eligible Mandatory Criteria that the Offer has failed to
meet. An Offeror whose Offer has been found responsive to the requirements that
are reviewed at Phase II will receive a CAR that states that its Offer has been found
  Request for Standing Offer Number: 10251555
Standing Offer Authority: Stéphanie Dupel

Page 21 of 98

responsive to the requirements reviewed at Phase II. Such Offeror must not be
entitled to submit any response to the CAR.

(iii) An Offeror must have the period specified in the CAR (the “Remedy Period”) to
remedy the failure to meet any Eligible Mandatory Criterion identified in the CAR
by providing to Canada in writing additional or different information or clarification
in response to the CAR. Responses received after the end of the Remedy Period
will not be considered by Canada, except in circumstances and on terms expressly
provided for in the CAR.

(iv) The Offeror’s response must address only the Eligible Mandatory Criteria listed in
the CAR as not having been achieved, and must include only such information as
is necessary to achieve such compliance. Any additional information provided by
the Offeror which is not necessary to achieve such compliance will not be
considered by Canada, except that, in those instances where such a response to
the Eligible Mandatory Criteria specified in the CAR will necessarily result in a
consequential change to other pa rts of the Offer, the Offeror must identify such
additional changes, provided that its response must not include any change to the
Financial Offer.

(v) The Offeror’s response to the CAR should identify in each case the Eligible
Mandatory Criterion in the CAR to which it is responding, including identifying in
the corresponding section of the original Offer, the wording of the proposed change
to that section, and the wording and location in the Offer of any other consequential
changes that necessarily result from such change. In respect of any such
consequential change, the Offer must include a rationale explaining why such
consequential change is a necessa ry result of the change proposed to meet the
Eligible Mandatory Criterion. It is not up to Canada to revise the Offeror’s Offer,
and failure of the Offeror to do so in accordance with this subparagraph is at the
Offeror’s own risk. All submitted information must comply with the requirements of
this solicitation.

(vi) Any changes to the Offer submitted by the Offeror other than as permitted in this
solicitation, will be considered to be new information and will be disregarded.
Information submitted in accordance with the requirements of this solicitation in
response to the CAR will replace, in full, only that part of the original Offer as is
permitted in this Section.

(vii) Additional or different informa
