Sole Source Justification:
Haul-All Equipment Ltd. has the proprietary rights and is the
patent holder for the design of these specific bins. Haul-All is
the only manufacturer of these bins.
All of Parks Canada's refuse containers and accessories are
Haul-All. All Parks Canada's pick-up trucks and all of its
private contractors' pickup trucks are specifically designed for
the Haul-All bins. The trucks that dump these bins are specially
designed for this application and the cost is $100,000+ per
truck. If Parks Canada were to change bins, not only would Parks
have to incur the expense of purchasing new trucks, but the
private contractors also.
Total Estimated Cost: $200,000.00 per year.

NAFTA Limited Tendering Reason:
(b)where, for works of art, or for reasons connected with the
protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights, or
proprietary information or where there is an absence of
competition for technical reasons, the goods or services can be

alternative or substitute exists;
(d) for additional deliveries by the original supplier that are
intended either as replacement parts or continuing services for
existing supplies, services or installations, or as the
extension of existing supplies, services or installations, where
a change of supplier would compel the entity to procure
equipment or services not meeting requirements of
interchangeability with already existing equipment or services,
including software to the extent that the initial procurement of
the software was covered by this Chapter.
WTO Limited Tendering Reason: Article XV

(d) for additional deliveries by the original supplier that are

compel the entity to procure equipment or services not meeting
requirements of interchangeability with already existing
equipment or services.

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
