Considering the current coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and despite what is provided for in the "Opening of Bids" clause above, the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION is proceeding with an opening of Bids without public, so that the SUBMISSIONERS will not be able to attend in person.
Instead, the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION shall post a video recording of the Bid Opening on the WATCH as soon as possible after the Bid Opening. Bidders will be notified of the filing of the recording on the WAPS in the same manner as when an Addendum is issued.
Please note that this action is being taken in accordance with the guidelines proposed by the Treasury Board Secretariat, dated March 25, 2020 (Communiqué No. SSMP-02 "Coronavirus (COVID-19)").

A contractor holding a restricted licence issued by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec or registered in the register of companies ineligible for public contracts (RENA) and whose period of ineligibility for public contracts has not ended is not eligible to submit a tender; these two cases of ineligibility also apply to the tenderer's subcontractors.
Bidders are responsible for the selection of subcontractors, both for their creditworthiness and for the content of their bids, and must inform them of the conditions they intend to impose on them and ensure that they hold the required permits and licences.

Each bidder is responsible for delegating a representative to this visit. All tenderers, contractors and subcontractors will be considered to have visited the premises and no claim for lack of knowledge of the premises may be submitted or accepted. In addition, the Project Manager assumes no responsibility to Tenderers who are not presented at the site visit for any information that may have been given during the site visit.
In the current context of the VIDOC-19 pandemic, special and exceptional measures apply to the information visit in order to avoid the risk of propagation in our facilities.

Once the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION has confirmed your presence, you will be able to attend the information visit. Once there, we ask you to respect all social distancing instructions and to protect yourself with a mask (the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION will not provide any means of protection, it is the responsibility of each Tenderer to bring its own means of protection).
