DCC plans to establish an Architectural consultant source list. Typical services consist of preparation of a statement of requirements, preparation of concepts, design development, construction documents, assistance during the tendering and construction phases for the construction of a new building or renovations to an existing building. Only consulting firms with offices within 75 km of the CBF Bagotville (3rd Wing, CFB Bagotville, Building 62 - Ottawa Street, Alouette (QC) G0V 1A0) will be considered for inclusion in a source list. NOTE: If a firm or any other associated company as defined in section 256 of the Income Tax Act ((1985, c. 1 (5th supp.), has more than one office or division within the radius mentioned above, only one office or division may apply for inclusion in a source list. Each source list will be established for a period of three (3) years with an estimated maximum value of up to $500,000 for each source list. Individual commissions under a source list should be between $5,000 and $75,000. The maximum value of a commission is $100,000. DCC reserves the right to suspend or extend the use of a source list at any time. The establishment of a source list does not constitute a commitment by DCC to spend the maximum estimated value of $500,000 for each source list. Consulting firms are advised that commissions and contracts under a source list may contain organization and personnel security requirements. Typically, the organization security requirement will be Designated Organization Screening (DOS) and reliability status for personnel.

To be eligible for contract award, a consulting firm will be required to, among other things, actively hold all required security clearance(s) to be invited to submit a proposal. DCC may publish quarterly an Advance Procurement Notice (APN) identifying potential request for proposals with anticipated security requirements to provide interested consulting firms an opportunity to begin the sponsorship request process for potentially obtaining the required security clearance(s) that are anticipated. The process to apply for a security clearance will be provided in the APNs. DCC reserves the right to reject any application that does not demonstrate, to the sole satisfaction of DCC, that the consulting firm has met the stated requirements.
