1    The Contractor must hold a valid designated organization
screening (DOS) issued by the Canadian         Industrial Security
Directorate (CISD), Public Works and Government Services Canada
(PWGSC),         at bid closing. Verifications will be made through
CISD to confirm the security clearance status of         the
Contractor. Failure to comply with this requirement will render
the Tender non-compliant and no     further consideration will be
given to the Tender.

2    It is to be noted that any subcontractor required to perform
any part of the work during the performance of the subsequent
contract must also adhere to the mandatory security requirement
of the contract. As well, no personnel without the required
level of security will be allowed on site. It will be the
responsibility of the successful bidder to ensure that the
security requirement is met throughout the performance of the
contract. The Crown will not be held liable or accountable for
any delays or additional costs associated with the contractor's
non-compliance to the mandatory security requirement. Failure to
comply with the mandatory security requirement will be grounds
