The Region/City has
always maintained that the pipeline bids were
NOT
solicited.
However, on February
16, 1999, Taggart Construction sent a letter of complaint to the
National Capital Heavy Construction Association, alleging that they were
being mistreated, because their bid had, in fact, been solicited.
Excerpts from the
February 16th letter:
(Highlighting added)

"On July 3, 1998, pursuant
to RMOC request for proposals, Taggart Construction Ltd., along with
four other proponents, submitted a design build proposal for the
above project (Munster Wastewater Treatment Facility).
Our proposal consisted of a
pipeline to the Regional Wastewater Collection and Disposal System."
..."With this proposal in hand,
the RMOC has now stated that ou(r)
proposal was
unsolicited and has recommended that a conventional design and tender process,
be undertaken for the project using our solution."
..."RMOC
staff and CRA were well aware that we were submitting pipeline
proposals and
in fact we were encouraged to
make our submissions."
