organizations, reviews processes and provides recommendations for
improvement

 SAV program will identify best practices and afford the Wg and opportunity
to showcase what it does exceptionally well

 Raise concerns:
 The SAV will also identify any overlooked safety or security concerns and
make recommendations to rectify immediately
 MTP 2 – Explain the SAV Process

 MTP 3 - MR Definition

 A MR project is defined as a Capital (Vote 5)

acquisition intended for:

 The one-time acquisition of new equipment or material

where the total project value does not exceed $5M; or

 The recurring acquisition / ongoing renewal of an

equipment holding, on a one for one replacement
basis, where the individual item value / unit cost does
not exceed $1M and the total project value does not
exceed $5M
 MTP 4 – Explain MR Process

 RCAF Comd call letter is initiated in Mar/Apr

requesting Wings/Units to raise their MRs
 Each Wing/Unit will assign an MR Coord who
compiles and vets the requests for accuracy and
completeness
 Coordinator will seek approval of prioritized list from
WComd
 Submissions are entered into the General MR
SharePoint site
 MTP 4 – Explain MR Process
 Wg/Unit RM Coord Step-by-Step Instr:
Step 1: Dist the MR Call Ltr at the Wing/Unit lvl
Step 2: Collect MR submissions from the Unit/Wing
Step 3: Review each submission to ensure it qualifies
Step 4: Make sure the required forms have been completed
accurately
Step 5: Review and validate prioritization forms at Wing/Unit lvl
and adjust the score as necessary to ensure consistency in
the Wing MR submission
Step 6: Obtain WComd endorsement of the Wing/Unit MR list
Step 7: Upload the Wing/Unit synopsis sheet and the individual
MR submissions to the General MR SharePoint site before
the deadline
 MTP 4 – Explain MR Process
 MR Originator/OPI step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Complete the MR Request Form:
Step 2: Complete the Itemized Cost Breakdown Chart;
Step 3: Complete the Prioritized Form: and
Step 4: Send the MR request to your Wing/Unit MR Coord.

Note: Do not complete the validation form – for SMEs only

 MTP 4 – Explain MR Process
 Key considerations:
 when the call ltr is received, the CO should go over the key points
within the yearly MR guideline and instruction, with Unit Admin O and
Wg Business Mgr (or both);
 Funding will arrive in the 4th quarter of the FY the submission was
initiated;
 Item has to be procured prior to end of that FY 31 Mar XX;
 MR is meant for one-time procurement of capital items;
 Normally large items are procured, but small item requests should not
be discouraged;
 Items such as vehicles (plated), IT equip & Infrastructure or
permanent changes to bldgs are NOT included in this process;
 MTP 4 – Explain MR Process
 Key Considerations (cont):
 each MR request requires its own form;
 there are three years provided for costing to allow phasing in multi-
year projects;
 Projects submitted to PWGSC it is recommended that a dollar
amount for translation is included in the MR;
 Cost for travel is only to be included if there is a requirement to pick
up the item or bring someone from the Company to install;
 Typically, unit will be notified of their MR approval in Nov; and
 Units will receive a separate notice that the MR funding is avail.
