2 /A 0 606el el This document includes questions with the corresponding answers received from potential bidders and an amendment. Question #79 With respect to Amendment 8: In the new pricing table, Table Per Diem Rates, the changes for 5 of the 6 core team resources are shown with the new heavier weightings for the level resource for each of the core team resource categories. Kindly confirm that these new heavier weightings should have been for level for each of these; and please re-issue a revised pricing table. Answer #79: There was an error in the table; the corrected table appears below. Question #80 The answers to questions 0 and of Amendment # 4 and subsequent amendments to the RFP resulted in a change to the requirements to allow Bidders to use references from and propose core team members employed by affiliates of the Bidder where affiliates is defined as the Bidder s parent company, as well as any other legal entity that is wholly owned by the same parent company, including an affiliate of the Bidder (and cannot include the experience of any proposed subcontractor of the Bidder). Our interpretation of the above amendment is to limit the definition of affiliates to companies that are wholly-owned (00% owned) by the Bidder s parent company instead of the more usual definition of affiliate that includes companies that are controlled by the same parent company (e.g. where controlled means holding a percentage of shareholdings greater than fifty percent (50%) of the votes required for the election of the board of directors). Will the Crown please amend its definition of affiliate in Amendment 004 to be consistent with the definition of the term affiliate as stated in the Canada Business Corporations Act and the Income Tax Act Canada? Answer #80 The definition of the term affiliate is amended, see amendment below. Whenever the experience of an affiliate and its resources is submitted as demonstration of the Bidder s experience, the Bidder must sign the certifications provided with this amendment. Question #8 In RFP Attachment 4., Section.4, requirements R8, R9, and R, subsection a), Bidders are required to provide "Reference Project # and Client Organization Name." Can the Crown please confirm that "Reference Project #" refers to the number the Bidder assigns to the two projects Bidder is to provide for each resource in accordance with Attachment 4., Section.. M. to..6 M.? Page of - de 8
