SUBSTITUTION OR EQUIVALENCE

Any request for equivalence must be sent to the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION no later than 4 pm on October 17, 2024, to the e-mail address approvisionnement@cssdgs.gouv.qc.ca. The request must be sufficiently documented for the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION to be able to evaluate it. Only equivalencies that have been authorized by Addenda will be considered by the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION when reviewing the compliance of Submissions. Any decision as to equivalence is at the sole discretion of the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION.

PANDEMIC-RELATED CHANGES - CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

By submitting its bid during the COVID-19 period, the TENDER is aware of the government measures and economic context in effect on the day of submission. It will therefore not be possible for it to invoke these measures as a case of force majeure in order to avoid its obligations.

It is possible, however, that additional government measures or new unforeseeable events may occur after the contract has been awarded, and thus affect completion times.

In such a case, the PUBLIC BODY and the SERVICE PROVIDER will negotiate in good faith.

RECEIPT OF BIDS

Bids will be received electronically by SEAO or at the owner's premises in hard copy at 1325, rue Industrielle, La Prairie Québec J5R 2E4, before 10:00 a.m., local time, on October 30, 2024.

As of June 1, 2019, the transmission of the same bid electronically and on paper constitutes the filing of multiple bids and will result in the automatic rejection of all bids so filed. If a SUBMITTER wishes to submit a bid electronically, it must send a single bid via the SEAO. This may no longer be accompanied by a paper bid, on pain of automatic rejection.

TENDER OPENING

Bids shall be publicly opened, in the presence of a witness, at the place indicated above, immediately after the time and date fixed for the receipt of Bids. BIDDERS may physically attend the Bid opening.

The PUBLIC ORGANIZATION also broadcasts the Bid opening live on the web. Instructions for attending this broadcast are provided below:
