Posting Summary
Department: Lands & Forestry  
Response Deadline Time: 14:00 Atlantic Time
 

This Request for Supplier Qualifications (“RFSQ”) is an invitation by the Province of Nova Scotia (the “Province”) to prospective Respondents to qualify for receipt of a potential subsequent solicitation to be issued by the Province for the potential provision of Wood Heat to a selection of publicly owned buildings, as further described in the RFSQ Particulars (Appendix B) (the “Deliverables”).
 

The Wood Heat initiative is supported by a recommendation (#35) in the Forestry Review by Professor Lahey and proposes to create markets for lower grade primary forest products by converting older fossil fuel heating systems to modern, efficient wood chip heating systems in select public buildings. The concept involves having private wood heat service providers operating public facility heating systems on a long-term basis.
 

The Wood Heat System will be contained in a building exterior to the public facility. The system will be designed, built, owned, operated and maintained by the Successful Proponent(s) selected through a second stage solicitation process following this RFSQ.
 

Information Session  
A non-mandatory information session will be provided to prospective respondents to ensure all parties are aware of the details and services expected of them as well as provide an overview of Ariba Discovery will be held at the following location and time:
 

Date: Friday, September 6th, 2019, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm  
Location: Refer to RFSQ, Section 1.5

The information session will be canceled if the RFSQ Contact does not receive confirmation of intention to attend from any prospective Respondents by the deadline as noted above.
 

Please refer to Ariba Event Content for information. All questions are to be directed through the Ariba Sourcing Event Message Board.
