REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 
from OXFAM CANADA
Please re-distribute this RFP to any person or group who might be
interested in it.
________________

OXFAM CANADA presently has a glass green house, approximately 24 feet x 48
feet, which was given to them by Nova Scotia Power. 

OXFAM is prepared to donate this greenhouse to a community, social, or
educational group which would be interested in rebuilding and reusing the
structure.

In order to rebuild the structure, a concrete frost depth foundation and
waist-high side walls need to be constructed. As well, the re-assembly of
this metal structure and glass pieces requires considerable technical 
ability and commitment. Some new glass and possibly some structural pieces
may need to be replaced.

On one page of paper, indicate the following:

1. Name of organization,
2. Contact person at the organization,
3. Telephone, Fax And Email Contacts,
4. Address with postal code, and
5. Description of the site where the greenhouse would be erected and 
6. The use to which it would be put.

Applicants will be adjudicated upon the social, educational, and community
involvement benefits of the proposal. Also , certain technical/logistical
matters such as land ownership, ability to transport the greenhouse from
the Halifax site,  ability to erect the greenhouse, and the ability to
finance the reconstruction must be addressed.

Applicants must agree to prominently display the OXFAM logo and to continue
to operate the facility as agreed for a period of 5 years.

Please send all proposals to OXFAM Canada
