1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) 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 Department of National Defence - Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Borden requires the supply and delivery of one (1) SPX Flow Lightnin Aerator Mixer Assembly Model 76Q25 (LAR-100) for Wastewater Treatment. The current Treatment Plant has 2 basins with aerator mixer assemblies; Aerator #2 assembly requires a replacement unit

The unit must fully integrate with existing DND infrastructure at the Wastewater Plant. DND conducts wastewater treatment at CFB Borden under Environment Canada with discharged effluent meeting guidelines for a Class 1 fishery.

The unit must perform equal to existing infrastructure as secondary clarification and settling treatment relies solely on the aerator mixer performance.

Using this same instrument allows DND CFB-Borden to perform continued treatment processes without adverse effects to the receiving waters.

5. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier The Lightnin Aerator Mixer Assembly Model 76Q25 (LAR-100) manufactured by SPX Flow, US LLC., is the only known instrument that meets all of the minimum essential requirements listed in Section 3 above. SPX Flow, US LLC, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Aerator Mixer Assembly, and owner of all related Intellectual Property that can supply and deliver an instrument meeting all of the minimum essential requirements. The OEM does not authorize other value-added resellers or distributors for SPX Flow, US LLC, equipment, and therefore they are the only supplier for this equipment.

As the sole supplier, SPX Flow, US LLC., at 135 Mt. Read Blvd, Rochester, New York 14611 United States, was selected as the Contractor of choice. The requested Lightnin Aerator Mixer Assembly Model 76Q25 (LAR-100) must be and is fully compatible with current structural setup and limitations where the aeration tank is to be installed.

Environmental compliance issues will arise if aeration capabilities are not maintained and limited to the current structural setup. The mixer is the only unit that is compatible with the concrete structure currently in place, which also provides for full and proper access control. Proper coagulation and flocculation in the activated sludge process is achieved by design and hydraulics with the current mixer assembly and original concrete structure; this ensures optimum performance for environmental compliance.

6. 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").
