Data Sheet – Editing Media Advertisements

Section 00115

2015-04 Media Advertisement

Refer to the attached Data Sheet – Media Advertisement Information. Provide the required information based on the text shown. Alberta Transportation will complete the media advertisement.

Copy the tender number and contract name in the same format as the title and cover pages.

Identify the location of the project including Section, Township, Range, and Meridian, when appropriate. Provide the distance and direction from a nearby community, when, as most often the case, the site of the contract is located outside a town or city.

Describe the work in general terms, and list the important bid items and quantities (5 maximum) to provide prospective bidders with a general understanding of the type of work, and the cost-range. Do not use low information content words like “and all related work”. Do not list minor items. It is important to describe the work in broad terms so Internet key-work searching will attract appropriate contactors.

Specify a pre-bid meeting when access to the Site requires coordination by the Minister, or due to the nature of the Work, entertaining questions from bidders at the Site is deemed necessary. Specify the day, month (name of), date and time. Specify a mandatory pre-bid meeting only if the Alberta Transportation Project Manager has agreed to its need.

Data Sheet – List of GSINS

Section 00115

2015-04 Media Advertisement

GSINS are used by the Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC), the province’s official electronic tendering system for Alberta’s public sector. GSIN is a commodity coding system initiated by the Government of Canada. National contractors and major sub-contractors use Merx and this Goods and Services Identification Number (GSIN) to find appropriate contracts through electronic notification services. Although GSINs are not well suited to all work types used by the department, the combined work description used in the media advertisement, and the GSINs should attract appropriate contractors and subcontractors.

Provide to Alberta Transportation appropriate GSINS, from the following list, that should be used for the advertisement of the Contract.

511 Pre-erection Work at Construction Sites

512 Construction Works for Buildings

513 Construction Work for Civil Engineering
