significant conflict of interest is found to exist and cannot be sufficiently mitigated, Temagami
reserves the right to disqualify the Proponent from participating in the Request for Proposal.
PART 3 - EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
3.1 Stage 1: Evaluation Of Qualification Response and Mandatory Requirements
In this stage the Bid will be reviewed to ensure that it meets the requirements listed in Section 2.3
Submission Requirements. Where a form is indicated as mandatory, failure to include that form or
to meet the mandatory requirements within that form may result in disqualification from the RFP
process.
Proposals meeting the mandatory requirements will move to stage 2.
3.2 Stage 2: Technical Response Evaluation (80 points)
This stage will consist of a scoring of each qualified Bid from Stage 1 on the basis of the Technical
Response contained in the Appendix C.4 - to determine the total score for this Stage 2.

Ability to meet or exceed the specification requirements.

3.3 Stage 3 - Price Evaluation (20 points)
In this stage the Bid price contained in the Appendix C.5.1 - Pricing Form will be evaluated using
the relative pricing formula set out below to determine bid pricing score.
Each eligible Bidder will receive a percentage of the total possible points allocated to price (20).
For evaluation purposes, the difference between the bid price and $200,000 will be recorded as
their bid rate. The bid rate will be compared against each other by dividing the lowest Bid rate by
the Bid rate calculated for each bid received to obtain the Bidders scoring rate (correct to 1
decimal place).
(Lowest Bid rate)÷(Bidder's Bid rate) = Bidders scoring (correct to 1 decimal place)
Bidders scoring ×Total available points=Pricing Score for the Bid
For example, if the lowest Bid price is $250,000.00, the lowest bid rate is $50,000.
 Bidder bidding $250,000 receives 100% of the possible points (50,000/50,000 = 100%);
 A bid of $260,000 would have a bid rate of $60,000 (260k-200k) and receive 83.3% of the
possible points (60,000/50,000 = 83.3%).
 Bidders scoring (%) will be multiplied by total available points (20) to obtain their price
score.
3.4 Cumulative Score and Selection Of Bidder
Proposals will be reviewed by an Evaluation team. The total evaluation score, as per the scoring
matrix, shall be recorded in a similar manner once the evaluation process has been completed.
3.5 Evaluation Is Final and Binding
By responding to this RFP the respondents agree that the decision of the Evaluation Team is final
and binding.
Page 8
3.6 Finalizing Terms
This RFP will not constitute a binding agreement, but will only form the basis for the finalization of
the terms upon which the Municipality and the successful respondent will enter into the contract
documentation, and does not mean that the successful respondent’s proposal is necessarily
totally acceptable in the form submitted. After the selection of the successful respondent’s
proposal, the Municipality has the right to negotiate with the successful respondent and, as part of
that process, to negotiate changes, amendments or modifications to the successful respondent’s
proposal without offering the other respondents, the right to amend their proposals.
3.7 Award
If Temagami chooses to award the Bid Solicitation, the award shall be to the Proponent having
submitted the Proposal which provides the Best Value for Temagami as determined by the
scoring of the Proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria contained in Part 3.
A recommendation to award will be presented to council at a scheduled council meeting once the
evaluation team has completed their evaluations.
The Award of this Request for Proposal is conditional upon the allocation of sufficient funds by the
Council for the Municipality of Temagami. The successful proponent will be notified in writing by

GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS FOR ONE ( 1 ) INITIAL ATTACK FIRE FIGHTING APPARATUS
The Temagami Fire Department is seeking proposals to furnish all necessary labour, equipment
and material for One (1) Initial Attack Fire Apparatus, built to, or exceeding recognized industry
standards; specifically CAN/ULC-S515-13. Maximum allowable dimensions of the apparatus –
9’6” high; 9.0’ wide (including mirrors); 29’ length
The purchaser's standards for bidding automotive fire apparatus must be strictly adhered to, and
all bid forms and questions must be complete and submitted with the bid. Omissions and
variations shall result in immediate rejection of the bid.
Bidders should provide a full set of detailed drawings and specifications to describe the
methods, materials and other pertinent information used in the manufacture of the proposed
apparatus to aid the Temagami Fire Department in making an informed decision.
To facilitate ease of comparison, all bid proposal specifications shall be submitted in the
same sequence as the advertised specifications, without exception. Any bidder who fails to
submit a set of bid proposal specifications, or who photo copies and submits these specifications
as their own construction details will be considered non responsive. This shall render such
proposal ineligible for award. Any bidder who indicates compliance in the Municipality’s
documents and provides contradictory Detailed Specifications shall also render their proposal
ineligible for any award.
YES
NO EXCEPTION
The purchaser's specification shall, in all cases, govern the construction of the apparatus, unless
a properly documented exception or deviation was approved. Any bid indicating that the
manufacturer's proposal shall supersede the purchaser's specification will be considered a
complete substitute and immediately rejected.
THE PURCHASER HAS THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY BID WHICH DOES NOT MEET THESE
SPECIFICATIONS AND IS THE SOLE DECIDER TO DEEM WHICH BID IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
PURCHASER.
YES
NO
EXCEPTION / COMMENTS
DRAWINGS
PROPOSAL: fully detailed drawings shall be submitted with the proposal. The drawing will be of
sufficient detail so as to provide a proposed location of the specified requirements, showing all 4
sides of the vehicle. The drawing shall include overall length and height measurements as well
as cab to axle and compartment dimensions. Drawings shall make accurate statements as to
the apparatus weight and dimensions; including detailed analysis of the engineered
requirements to insure the apparatus has been suitably designed; including
recommended equipment weight load distribution by compartment.

The drawings shall be reviewed with the successful proponent and finalized. A "revised"
approval drawing of the apparatus shall be prepared and submitted by the manufacturer
to the purchaser showing any changes made to the approval drawing. This drawing shall
Schedule 2
Page 1
indicate the chassis make and model, location of the lights, siren, horns, compartments,
major components, etc.

The finalized and approved drawing shall become part of the contract documents.
EXCEPTIONS
These advertised specifications are based upon design and performance criteria which have
been developed by the fire department as a result of extensive research and careful analysis.
Subsequently these specifications reflect the type of fire apparatus that is acceptable at this time
and all specifications herein contained are considered to exceed the minimum “standards”
requirements. Therefore exceptions to the specifications may not be accepted in some areas.
If a product brand name is specified and is commercially available to all bidders, an exception to
such items may not be acceptable and such bid may be rejected.
Exceptions shall be allowed if they are equal to or superior to that specified and provided they
are listed and fully explained on a separate page.
All deviations, no matter how slight, shall be clearly explained on a separate sheet, in the bid
sequence, citing the page and paragraph number(s) of the specifications, how the proposal
deviation is different, how the deviation meets or exceeds the specifications and why it is
necessary, and entitled "EXCEPTIONS TO SPECIFICATIONS". The buyer reserves the right to
require a bidder to provide proof in each case that a substituted item is equal to that specified.
The buyer shall be the sole judge in determination of acceptable substitutes.
Proposals that are found to have deviations without listing them or bids taking TOTAL
exceptions to these advertised specifications will be rejected. (no exceptions)
A bid not including all exceptions, is a material breach and shall result in immediate
rejection.
GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION – SINGLE SOURCE MANUFACTURER
All aspects of the fire apparatus body, specifically the pump module, and body are to be entirely
designed, assembled and painted by the prime vehicle manufacturer, which minimizes third
party involvement on engineering, design, service and warranty issues.
Use of third party pump module assembly will not be accepted.
