1. ACAN Explanation
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community
that a department or agency intends to award a contract for
goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier,
thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in
bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no
supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the
requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date
stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed
with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2. Definition of Requirement
The Great Lakes Nearshore Initiative is an Environment Canada
program to investigate and assess the impact of phosphorus
contributions in the nearshore zone of the Great Lakes. To
effectively assess how tributaries affect lake water, it is
critical to understand how storm events impact the phosphorus
and suspended solids in the Great Lakes. This is challenged by
the difficulty of sampling in short time intervals during storm
events. The remote access sampler will provide the means to
collect in-situ temporal samples and assess nutrients and
suspended sediments which will guide the implementation of
measures to reduce nutrient contributions in the Great Lakes.
