Solicitation No. 2BH538819
Amd: 001
This amendment 001 is raised to answer questions from vendors and to make modifications to the RFP. Questions from Vendors: Q1: Annex A, Section 3.1 - We are unaware of a product that does Barcode, Magnetic Stripe and Smart Card Contact reading “off the shelf”. The off the shelf requirement is as per Part 5, Section 5.4. a. Has the RCMP evaluated a product that does this today that is off the shelf? b. Would the RCMP accept a custom made solution to add the Smart Card contact reader? If so, will the RCMP accept a 2 week extension to this RFP? A1: a. Yes, there are products that meet each specification with everything incorporated from factory today. b. No custom solutions will be accepted. Q2: Annex A, Section 3.1 - We have seen some Provinces with Enhanced Driver’s License that contains a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip, but as per 3.1.n it states: “If device contains RFID capability, it must have the ability to be completely disabled.” This makes the requirement a Smart Card contact reader which is not in Canadian Drivers licenses today. As there are no Canadian driver’s licenses that are Smart Card contact readable today, why is there a requirement for a contact reader? A2: This is for security reasons. For locations where it is not necessary, we do not want to have it on if there is no reason. This feature is required as there is an existing need to have the capability of RFID being disabled. Q3: Annex A, 3.1 and 3.2 - Will the RCMP accept a proposal for Section 3.2 alone or do we need to respond to Section 3.1 and 3.2? A3: Yes, bidders can submit a bid to either section 3.2 or 3.1. If the bidder is submitting a bid for both sections 3.1 and 3.2, the bidder should submit two separate bids. The solicitation will result in one or two contracts. Please see modifications below. Q4: Annex A, 3.1 and 3.2 - In both 3.1.d and 3.2.d, the RFP states “The card size must meet the following:” Are provision of cards part of this RFP or is the requirement that the readers accept a card of this size? A4: Cards are not part of this procurement; this requirement is to ensure our existing cards fit in the reader. Q5: Will SSC allow for an exchange rate protection clause for products originating from the USA and quoted in Canadian or the allowance to quote in USD given exchange rate fluctuations. A5: SSC will not allow for exchange rate protection clause. Prices must be submitted in CAD.
Q6: Would the readers be installed in police cars or would they be setup in offices? A6: The readers will be installed in police cars; however, some will be installed in our offices for testing.

Q7: What would be the main function of smart card reader? Today in North America, no Driver License has a smart chip. A7: It is for compatibility with our PKI/SafeNet smart cards.
