My guess is that the Tercon decision is only helpful in terms of protecting your rights when the language and structure of the procurement align with the 2010 Tercon case. Under the circumstances, that seems unlikely although in the absence of a Contract A and Contract B framework to rely on, a good lawyer may find sufficient evidence in the language of your procurement to support intent on the part of the owner to create contract obligations.Im not sure I would sleep very well if my companyPORTER HANGAR, OTTAWA AIRPORTwas at risk of not being treated fairly in the wake of a public tender but that is ultimately not my decision to make. That said, I am grateful to BCCA for their advocacy initiative and I do want to pay it forward by sharing the insights from the BC Standard Practices Committee with you.BCCAs advice to their members is probably common sense. Predictably, they encourageOWEN ROBERTSmembers to be more rigorous about reviewingINTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, tender documents. They go on to suggest usingCAYMAN ISLANDSthe RFI process to question the owners intent where Contract A has been removed and seek legal advice when the answers are unsatisfactory. BCCA commits to fight back of course, as do we, but in the interim, they strongly urge members to only submit bids after they have evaluated the tender risks andare prepared to accept the risk associated with tender irregularities.
