If mutually agreeable between the Contractor and DCC, the contract may be extended for up to two (2) additional one (1) year periods (365 calendar days) with the same Terms and Conditions and applicable cost escalation. The Contractor will be advised prior to three hundred and sixty-five (365) calendar days of expiry of the contract, if the option to extend will be executed.
The annual amount submitted for the period of Service from January 2, 2024 to January 1, 2027 will be adjusted at the two-year anniversary of the Service Commencement date by calculating the percentage change in the Bank of Canada’s Consumer Price Index, all-items excluding eight of the most volatile components as defined by the Bank of Canada and excluding the effect of changes in indirect taxes (CPI). The adjustment would be in effect starting the month after the two-year anniversary of the Service Commencement date. The rates will then be adjusted annually thereafter on the anniversary of the Service Commencement date by calculating the 12-month percentage change in the CPI for each year of the extension period(s) if such optional period(s) are exercised by Defence Construction Canada. There will be no retroactive rate adjustments. The CPI used for calculation will not be seasonally adjusted.
The selected contractor will be required to hold a valid Facility Security Clearance at the level of SECRET, issued by the Canadian Industrial Security Directorate (CISD) within Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC).
