La DP et l'ÉT ont été diffusés par l'intermédiaire du MERX le 5 décembre 2002. Questcom a reconnu avoir téléchargé la DP le 20 décembre 2002, et a « commencé à élaborer une réponse, mais non d'une manière formelle ce qui avait commencé le 13 janvier 2003 » [traduction].

The RFP and SOW were published on MERX on December 5, 2002. Questcom acknowledged that it downloaded the RFP on December 20, 2002, and "began to develop a response but not in a formal manner this commenced January 13, 2003." The Tribunal notes that the original bid closing date was January 13, 2003, and that amendment No. 003 to the solicitation issued on January 7, 2003, subsequently extended the bid closing date to January 20, 2003.

25. En ce qui a trait à la présumée période liée à l’examen d’une DP et d’un contrat antérieur et la préparation des documents de soumission pour la DP en question, le Tribunal convient avec TPSGC que les heures réclamées par Argair sont excessives compte tenu des similitudes entre les deux invitations et le cadre susmentionné d’arrangement en matière d’approvisionnement du marché.

25. With respect to alleged time frame associated with the review of an earlier RFP/contract and the preparation of the bid documents for the RFP at issue, the Tribunal agrees with PWGSC that the hours claimed by Argair are excessive, given the similarities between the two solicitations and the aforementioned supply arrangement marketplace framework. The Tribunal will therefore award Argair costs for -- hours, instead of the -- hours that it claimed, for reviewing a previous solicitation and preparing its bid documents.

ZENON a soutenu que le Tribunal n'a pas compétence pour « annuler » une exigence obligatoire de la DP et que, dans nombre de décisions antérieures, le Tribunal a déclaré que l'entité fédérale définit ses propres exigences.

ZENON submitted that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to "set aside" a mandatory requirement of the RFP and that, in many previous decisions, the Tribunal has declared that the government entity defines its own requirements. ZENON further submitted that the requirement is in the RFP and has been given meaning by the Tribunal, that the meaning has been upheld by the Court and that there is no basis for now suggesting that it be "set aside" or ignored in a re-evaluation.

TPSGC a soutenu qu'il incombe à l'entité acheteuse de définir les exigences énoncées dans la DP. Il a donc soutenu que, dans les cas où le Tribunal détermine qu'une exigence, telle qu'elle est définie, présente une certaine ambiguïté, la mesure corrective indiquée est de soit retirer l'exigence irrégulière aux fins de l'évaluation des propositions soit, à titre de solution de rechange, permettre à l'entité acheteuse de définir correctement ses exigences dans le cadre d'un nouvel appel d'offres limité portant sur les exigences techniques.

PWGSC submitted that the procuring entity is charged with the responsibility of defining its requirements as set out in the RFP. It therefore submitted that, where the Tribunal determines that there is some ambiguity in the requirement as defined, the appropriate remedy is either to remove the offending requirement for the purpose of evaluation of proposals or, alternatively, to permit the procuring entity to properly define its requirements through a limited re-tendering process of the technical requirements.

23. Le Tribunal considère raisonnable l’argument d’Argair concernant les -- heures qu’elle prétend avoir consacrées à l’examen et à l’analyse des documents relatifs à la DP. Toutefois, le Tribunal fait aussi remarquer que la DP s’est déroulée dans le cadre d’un arrangement en matière d’approvisionnement existant, qui définit le marché ainsi que les conditions de participation à ce marché pour tous les participants, y compris TPSGC et, en l’espèce, Argair.

23. The Tribunal accepts, as reasonable, Argair’s submission regarding the -- hours that it claimed to have spent reviewing and analyzing the RFP documentation. However, the Tribunal also notes that the RFP was conducted under the framework of an existing supply arrangement, which defines the marketplace and terms and conditions of participating in that marketplace for all participants, including PWGSC and, in this case, Argair. The Tribunal, therefore, accepts PWGSC’s argument that Argair should not be allowed to claim costs relating to market research and consultation.

1. On September 21, 2006, Canadian North Inc. (Canadian North) filed a complaint with the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act. 1 The complaint concerned the procurement (Request for Proposal [RFP] TCS 04/95) of air transport services in relation to the execution of the Food Mail Program (the Program) in Canada’s North.

32. Après la diffusion de la DP, Postes Canada s’est occupée de toutes les étapes de l’invitation à soumissionner. Elle était le seul contact pour les fournisseurs potentiels; toute la correspondance a été échangée entre Postes Canada et les fournisseurs; Postes Canada a reçu les soumissions; elle a évalué les propositions; elle a établi la relation contractuelle avec le transporteur aérien.

32. Once the RFP was issued, Canada Post conducted all phases of the solicitation. It was the sole point of contact for potential suppliers; all correspondence was between Canada Post and the suppliers; it received the bids; it evaluated the proposals; and it entered into the contractual relationship with the air carrier. According to the draft contract in the RFP, Canada Post would assume all obligations and responsibilities under the contract.

Compare text pages Compare HTM pages Open source URL Open target URL Define citt-tcce.gc.ca as primary domain	The Tribunal does not support PWGSC's contention that the 10-day period for objection or for complaint is automatically triggered by the publication of an RFP. However, given the short time frames for filing a complaint, it does expect potential suppliers to exercise due diligence and to take account of the terms and conditions of an RFP as soon as the RFP comes into their possession.

ZENON a soutenu que le Tribunal et la Cour ont établi de manière concluante que la soumission de Seprotech est non conforme et que, par conséquent, le contrat est présentement exécuté par un soumissionnaire non conforme et, de plus, que TPSGC contrevient de façon flagrante aux dispositions de la DP en continuant d'attribuer du travail à Seprotech.

ZENON submitted that it has been conclusively established by the Tribunal and the Court that Seprotech's bid is non-compliant and that, consequently, the contract is currently being performed by a non-compliant bidder and, further, that PWGSC is in blatant violation of the terms of the RFP by continuing to award work to Seprotech. It submitted that PWGSC should terminate the contract for convenience and proceed to award the contract to the winning, compliant bidder.

10. TPSGC soutient que le candidat proposé par Argair en réponse à la DP en question avait déjà été proposé par Argair relativement à une DP antérieure pour la même catégorie de services d’ingénieur principal.

10. PWGSC submitted that the candidate proposed by Argair in response to the subject RFP had previously been proposed by Argair in relation to an earlier RFP for the same senior engineer service category. PWGSC claimed that this led to that particular candidate being pre-qualified as a senior engineer for all subsequent supply arrangement requirements, including the subject RFP. PWGSC submitted that any time claimed with respect to “potential candidates” should be reduced considerably, if not eliminated altogether, as, based on past practice, Argair’s most likely candidate would have been that same pre-qualified resource.

Peacock a soutenu que, en ce qui a trait au degré d'exécution du contrat jusqu'à ce jour, la nature du travail requis dans la DP est telle que, dans le cas des sociétés qui ont déjà de l'expérience en fabrication, essai et service de soutien de matériel de procédé, il n'est pas nécessaire d'investir considérablement en infrastructure ou en ingénierie et que, en réalité, la seule préparation nécessaire à l'exécution du travail consiste à disposer des pièces nécessaires en stock et du personnel correctement formé.

Peacock submitted that, with regard to the degree to which the contract has been performed up to this point, the nature of the work required by the RFP is such that, for companies already experienced in the manufacture, testing and service support of process equipment, no major infrastructure or engineering investments are required and that, in reality, the only set-up needed to carry out the work is to have the necessary parts in inventory and properly trained personnel available.

12. TPSGC soutient que la soumission d’Argair en réponse à la DP en question ressemblait énormément à la soumission d’Argair en réponse à la DP antérieure susmentionnée qui a mené à la qualification de l’ingénieur principal d’Argair.

12. PWGSC submitted that Argair’s bid in response to the subject RFP closely resembled Argair’s bid in response to the above-noted previous RFP that led to the qualification of Argair’s senior engineer. PWGSC argued that, given the similarities between the two bids, the claim of -- hours was excessive and fundamentally unreasonable. It submitted that a reasonable period of time for the preparation of Argair’s bid in these circumstances should not have exceeded -- hours.

Argair submitted that its bid preparation costs encompassed the following four elements: (1) the review and analysis of Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation; (2) market research and consultation; (3) the screening of potential candidates’ résumés and communications with PWGSC; and (4) the review and analysis of an earlier RFP/contract and bid proposal preparation.

Compare text pages Compare HTM pages Open source URL Open target URL Define citt-tcce.gc.ca as primary domain	ZENON submitted that, by permitting the contract award to Seprotech to stand, the Tribunal would be validating PWGSC's award of a contract based on criteria other than the criteria published in the RFP and that the Tribunal would also be failing in its duty to uphold the obligations imposed on PWGSC by Article 506(6) of the AIT.

Show text Show cached source Open source URL	À la lumière de ce qui précède, le Tribunal est d'avis, en l'espèce, que Questcom a découvert ou aurait dû vraisemblablement découvrir les faits à l'origine de la plainte le ou vers le 20 décembre 2002, lorsqu'elle a téléchargé la DP depuis le MERX, et qu'elle n'a donc pas présenté son opposition à TPSGC dans les délais prévus.
Compare text pages Compare HTM pages Open source URL Open target URL Define citt-tcce.gc.ca as primary domain	In light of the above, the Tribunal is of the opinion, in this case, that Questcom knew or should have known the basis of its complaint on or about December 20, 2002, when it downloaded the RFP from MERX and that it did not, therefore, make its objection to PWGSC within the time limit allowed. Therefore, the Tribunal considers that the objection was late, and the complaint is dismissed.

4. PWGSC submitted that the solicitation at issue was made pursuant to an existing supply arrangement for which Argair was pre-qualified in a number of service categories, including the senior engineer category requested in the RFP at issue. PWGSC submitted that the RFP was only sent to holders of senior engineer supply arrangements and that the additional mandatory requirements that formed part of the RFP were not complex. It argued therefore that the time required for a pre-qualified supplier, such as Argair, to complete and submit a proposal would not have been extensive.
