Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement

This procurement is subject to the Agreement on Internal Trade
(AIT) and exempt from NAFTA [see Chapter 10, Annex 1001.2b,
paragraph 1 (a)] and from the WTO-AGP (see Annex 4).

Justification for the pre-identified supplier

The shipyard, operated by Northern Transportation Company
Limited (NTCL) in Hay River, is currently the only known
facility in the area capable of docking the CCGS Dumit and
moving the vessel into an enclosed structure for the duration of
the work period.

PWGSC policy allows for the work to be directed to one shipyard
if certain conditions exist.  In this case, special operational
considerations of the client limit movement of the vessel beyond
a specified location.

This vessel's primary operational role is the installation and
removal of navigational buoys in the Mackenzie River system in
the NWT.  The vessel is based at the Coast Guard base in Hay
River.  At the close of the navigational season the vessel works
its way down the river picking up the buoys to avoid them being
damaged by ice and ends its trip in Hay River.  The vessel
cannot navigate in ice conditions in the river as it is not ice
strengthened (i.e. it is not an icebreaker).  Given the vessel's
operational requirements, it cannot be moved to another location
for work to be carried out.

Government contracts regulations exception(s)

The following exception(s) to the Government Contracts
Regulations is (are) invoked for this procurement under
subsection 6(d) - "only one person is capable of performing the
work").

Exclusions and/or limited tendering reasons

The following limited tendering reasons are invoked under the
section of the trade agreement specified:

i)	Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) - Article 12 b.

ii)	Where there is an absence of competition for technical
reasons and the goods or services can be supplied only by a
particular supplier and no alternative or substitute exists. 

Period of the proposed contract or delivery date

Work must commence on 20 October 2015 and be fully complete by
01 June 2016.

Name and address of the pre-identified supplier

	Northern Transportation Company Limited
	Suite 1209, 10104 - 103 Avenue

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments 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 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 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 authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods 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 advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
