CALL FOR PREQUaLIFICATION

THE JACQUES CARTIER AND CHAMPLAIN BRIDGES INCORPORATED, a corporation having its Head Office and its chief place of business in the City of Longueuil, province of Quebec, Canada, established by the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority Act and herein acting and exercising its powers as an agent of Her Majesty in right of Canada (hereafter referred to as “Owner”) invites you to submit one or more Prequalification Files for the following nine (9) disciplines:

Asset Management:

Load Capacity and Investigation Program
Master Plans

Design:

Structure (Steel / Concrete)

Supervision:

Structure (Steel / Concrete)
Electricity / Mechanics / ITS
Road (Pavement)

in connection with Call for Prequalification No 30000/Professional Services in Asset Management, Design and Supervision (2018-2021). The Owner does not intend (but reserves the right) to issue other calls for prequalification for the subject disciplines in the period during which the List of Prequalified Consultants is valid.

This Call for Prequalification is the first step in the Owner’s procurement process for the provision, for a period of three (3) years (2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021), of engineering consulting services for the preservation and major maintenance of the Owner’s assets. Subject to the terms of the Call for Prequalification, only the consulting firms included on the Owner’s List of Prequalified Consultants will subsequently be invited to submit service proposals for the service contracts covered by this Call for Prequalification.

The Owner will select a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) Consultants per discipline. The Consultants so selected will be those whose compliant Prequalification File has obtained the highest score (the selection will be made in descending order). In case of withdrawal of one or more Consultants from the List of Prequalified Consultants during the period in which such list is valid, the Owner reserves the right to reopen said list and to add, for the discipline concerned, one or more pre-qualified Consultants without, however, exceeding the maximum of five (5) Consultants per discipline. Where applicable, the Consultants added to the List of Prequalified Consultants for a given discipline will be those whose compliant Prequalification File has, under this Call for Prequalification or following a new call for prequalification that was subject to the same conditions, obtained the highest score. If fewer than three (3) Consultants are listed on the List of Prequalified Consultants during the period in which such list is valid, the Owner reserves the right to maintain the List of Prequalified Consultants and to invite only the prequalified Consultants listed on said list to submit service proposals for the service contracts covered by this Call for Prequalification. The Owner also reserves the right to proceed, at any time, by a new call for prequalification or by a public request for proposals.

This Call for Prequalification is covered by Chapter 5 Procurement of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement and by Chapter 19 Government Procurement of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.

As part of its mission, the Owner operates, manages, supervises, builds, restores, maintains and repairs the bridges, roads and tunnels of federal jurisdiction located in the greater Montreal area, namely the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the portion of the Honoré-Mercier Bridge under federal jurisdiction, the Champlain Bridge, two related infrastructures, namely a section of the Bonaventure Expressway and the Champlain Bridge Ice Control Structure, as well as the Melocheville Tunnel.
