1. Purpose of an Advance Contract Notice (ACAN)
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows department 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 goods, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified supplier. 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 officer will proceed to a full
tendering process.

The US / Canada Joint Border Facility opened on September 29,
2003 and is a unique facility as it is compiled of five
buildings each with separate HVAC system. The entire
portfolio is built on 10 hectares of land and the Main Port
Building is exactly on the border. The warranty expired on
September 29, 2005 for the Main Port Building (MPB), Canadian
Tertiary Building (CTI), United States Secondary Inspection
Building (USIB), and the United States Commercial Inspection
Building (UCI). The Canadian Commercial Inspection Building
(CCI) was on warranty until August 31, 2006.
The semi-annual inspections are to ensure that the HVAC systems

address operating concerns and to make adjustments to the
programming sequences to meet changing needs. This service
includes any upgrades to software at no extra cost.
