Description of the Requirement: The intent of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to award one (1) Contract for passenger transportation services for First Nations Inuit and Health Branch (FNIHB) nurses/employees from Thompson Airport to Split Lake First Nations (140 km one way) in Northern Manitoba. FNIHB requires these reliable, roundtrip transportation services with a variety of required trips, including scheduled trips, unscheduled trips and emergency trips. There are scheduled trips between Thompson and Split Lake that align with the nurse shift change, but there are also often unplanned trips that are required. In these short-notice situations, employees sometimes struggle to secure a taxi. Therefore, FNIHB is looking for a reliable passenger transportation service to transport FNIHB employees between the Thompson Airport and the Split Lake Nursing Station. Level of Security Requirement: There are no security requirements for this request. Proposed period of contract: The initial contract period is three (3) years from contract award, with two (2) additional one (1) year option periods.
