ADVANCED CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE - ANAEROBIC DIGESTION BIOREACTOR TECHNOLOGY AT LOW TEMPERATURE
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is a notification through the open bidding methodology of the intent to award a directed contract.
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen 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 competitive requirements of the government’s contracting policy have been met. Following notification to suppliers not successful in demonstrating that their statements of capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the Treasury Board’s electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit Statements of Capabilities during the fifteen calendar day posting period, and meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the department or agency must proceed to a full tendering process on either the government’s electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.
Scope of Work:
The mandate consists of the delivery of plans and technical specifications, the estimated Class A as well as the optional phase related to the supervision of the construction work and to answer technical questions during the construction tendering process.
Suppliers’ right to submit a Statement of Capabilities:
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services 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 stated requirements.
Closing date for the submission of the Statement of Capabilities: November 27, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time)
