SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION IS SUPPORTED BY THE FOLLOWING:
Government Contracting Policy, Section 10.2.1 (d):
"only one person or firm is capable of performing the contract".

The unique skills and competence needed to assume this role are not readily available within the market place. The sole source option is supported to maintain a quality and proven service in this regard and address proprietary issues.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the Contracting Authority identified in this Notice on or before fifteen (15) calendar days.

The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements. Statement of capabilities must be mailed or faxed on or before the closing date. Statement of capabilities received on or before the closing date will be considered solely for the purpose of deciding whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement.

Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting authority above by email, referring to the ACAN notice. Waterfront Toronto retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.

WHAT IS AN ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE:
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 goods, 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 statement of capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded.

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.
