Security Requirements:

If an agreement cannot be reached, DCC will have the sole right to terminate negotiations at its discretion and will restart the process with the next firm on the rotation.
The consultant and its key personnel shall be, or be eligible to be licensed, certified or otherwise authorized to provide the necessary professional services to the full extent that may be required by provincial or territorial law in the Province or Territory in which the project is located.
