3 A A ) Intent of this Request for Information (RFI) This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. As a result potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock, or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is intended to solicit feedback from industry with respect to the matters described herein. 2) Background Improving the quality of education in First Nations schools to ensure better educational outcomes of First Nation (FN) students living on reserve is a shared priority of both the Government of and First Nations. The quality of education can be improved, in part, through the use of well designed and built schools. Aborginal Affairs and Nothern Development (AANDC) has been working to explore innovative options to build and renovate schools on reserves without delay while also demonstrating value for money. Although the size of each new school will vary, standardization via a core functional design will be employed. The core design will contain administration space, gymnasium, and community space that is common to each community. In addition, it is essential that the schools are designed for northern climates and are designed to minimize maintenance costs over their life span. Please Note: Community Accessibility, the reserves are located in northern locations and could only be accessible by winter road or by aircraft when winter roads are not available. 3) The Requirement A Request for Proposal (RFP) will be posted in the near future by Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC)on behalf of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AANDC) to obtain proposals from suppliers who would be capable of serving as a Project Management Services Provider (PMSP) to manage school infrastructure projects Projects may be executed using a bundled Design-Bid-Build model using one Design Consultant who will prepare separate construction tender packages for each school facility initiative in targeted communities. The Project Manager Consultant may manage the project through all stages of design, construction and warranty period. The PMSP will be responsible for conducting the procurement of a Design Consultant to provide architectural and engineering services for each school facility. The PMSP will be responsible for administering the competitive selection process that will result in a contract between the Design Consultant and PMSP. Page 3 of - de 5

4 A A ) Mandatory Suppliers Conference It is anticipated that the RFP for the above requirement (to be released following the tabulation of the results of this RFI) will contain information regarding a Mandatory Suppliers Conference/Information Session to be held approximately two weeks following the posting date of the Project Management Services Provider Request for Proposal. This session will be held in order to field questions from interested proponents and to provide valuable information concerning the subject Projects. 5) Proposed Procurement Result PWGSC will conduct this procurement on behalf of AANDC through the Solicitation Phase and Evaluation, at the completion of the evaluation process when a successful proponent has been identified, PWGSC s involvement will cease. AANDC will enter into a Funding Agreement (FA) with the successful supplier of the Request for Proposal for a Project Management Services Provider. A funding Agreement is the main financial instrument used by Aboriginal Affairs and Nothern Development for funding infrastructure projects. According to the Treasury Board Secretariat Directive on Transfer Payments, a funding agreement describes the requirements needed to maintain the accountability relationship between the Department and the funding recipient. These requirements include reporting requirements, criteria for default, and remedies on default provisions. They also help to provide opportunities for default prevention and management dsicussions between recipients and the Department. More information can be found at: Page 4 of - de 5
