Description:

Provide as needed, call-up rental services for road tractor, semi-trailer, cargo carriers and bucket truck for the Quebec region. Although this RMSO is available to all departments it is anticipated that the main user will be the Department of National defence (DND). Specifically, the main sectors covered in this RMSO are:

a)

Quebec region (Valcartier): Mainly including the Canadian Forces Base in Valcartier and Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Valcartier;

b)

Montreal region (Longue-Pointe): Mainly including the Canadian Forces Base in Longue-Pointe

c)

Montérégie region (St-Jean and St-Hubert): Mainly including the Canadian Forces Bases in St-Jean and St-Hubert;

The objective is to create a directory of offerors of road tractor, semi-trailer, cargo carriers and bucket truck rentals, by sector and for various categories of vehicles and different rental periods (short term (30 days or less) and long term (more than 30 days)).

2. Standing Offer Period: The standing offer will be in effect from November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2017, inclusively.

This in no way limits the volume of business the Offeror may do with the federal government.

The total estimated value of all Standing Offers issued under this Request for Standing Offers is $2,535,000.00 (applicable taxes extra). This is an approximation of the requirement given in good faith for financial bid evaluation purposes. It does not represent a commitment by Canada.
