RFP - TA1 EA 01.01206 - RFP - TA1 EA 01.01206 Data Loggers

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
Supply, delivery and support of temperature data loggers for cast-in-place concrete wherein the cast-in-place device is without internal power supply and non-transmitting when detached from the monitoring and transmitting equipment. This will be confirmed by pre-award security verification as outlined in Part A – Instructions to Bidders, Article 50.3. Devices that do not pass pre-award security verification will not be considered.
Devices to comply with temperature monitoring requirements outlined in each thermal plan (see attached reference document in Part C – Tender Package Documents), as well as transmitting and reporting requirements as outlined in the contract documents and all applicable codes, standards, and regulations. Including, but may not be limited to the current revision of  CSA A23.1/CSA A23.2 “Concrete Materials and Methods of Concrete Construction/Test Methods and Standard Practices for Concrete” including full compliance with all informative annexes when specified in the contract documents for adherence.
Bidders must provide a sample supply of applicable equipment in operable condition with operation manual which will be returned upon completion of the tender process. Equipment will be evaluated for performance and security requirements (i.e., to ensure the cast-in-place device is non-transmitting), as outlined in Part B – Scope of Work.
