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.

2.	Definition of requirements and sole source justification
The Department of Parks Canada has a requirement for the supply
of 7 dumpster containers. Elk Island National Park currently
uses Haul-All garbage trucks purchased through a competitive bid
process in 2007-2008. They would like to purchase new dumpsters
that will use the Haul-All dumping system currently implemented
so that there will be no modifications or no new equipment
required. Currently, no other supplier has been identified as
using the same type of dumping system as Haul-All or is a
provider of dumpsters compatible with Haul-Alls current lift
system. The park has already invested a significant amount in
this garbage dumping system and its equipment. It is preferable
to avoid incurring a significant cost in switching to a new
system or purchasing a new garbage truck. They do not anticipate
needing any more containers for the next five years.

These containers must be Haul-All Dump Truck compatible
containers  with the dimensions of w72(1830) x h79(2000) x
120(3050). The containers must include the minimum requirements
stated and must be compatible with the current Haul-All Dump
Truck used which is a 2008 Ford F-450 with Haul-All Equipment
Systems- Model M1400L. 

Potential suppliers must prove how their containers will not
change the current implemented dumping system. The current
garbage truck is equipped with hydraulic lift controls which
connects to the hydraulic cylinder designed in the dumpster.
Once connected to the dumpster the garbage truck via controls on
the garbage truck is able to empty the dumpster. The name of
this design used is the Permanent Place HL Cylinder.
