It should be noted that, for interpretation purposes, the French text shall prevail over the English, the latter being a translation of the French original.
I-4 BSDQ REFUSAL TO AUTHORIZE RECALL OF TENDERS
The BSDQ may, after investigation, refuse to authorize a recall for tenders that it deems unjustified based on changes made to the tendering documents and that would serve only to allow tenderers who filed a tender during the initial call for tenders to change the price of their tender in order to change their ranking in relation to the lowest compliant tenderer.
In the cases provided for in this Section, as well as in cases where the BSDQ refuses to authorize a recall for tenders pursuant to Sections I-1 or I-1.1 of this Code, any tenderer who sends their tender directly to a recipient contractor or a successful recipient contractor is in violation of this Code, as stipulated in the last paragraph of Section D-2.
I-5 PROHIBITION ON CONTRACTING WITHOUT A RECALL FOR TENDERS IN THE EVENT OF CHANGES TO THE TENDERING DOCUMENTS, EXEPT FOR THE LOWEST COMPLIANT TENDERER
No contractor, except the tenderer who filed the lowest compliant tender during the initial call for tenders, may contract for work in a regulated specialty other than that covered by their tender during the initial call for tenders, unless a recall for tenders has been authorized in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
I-6 FORFEITURE
When a filed tender has not been accepted within six (6) months of the closing date for the filing of tenders to the BSDQ, the obligations arising from the BSDQ rules do not apply and new tenders may be requested for the same work. However, if a general contractor’s contract is awarded before the expiry of the period specified at the beginning of this Section, the forfeiture shall only occur after one (1) year from the closing date for the filing of tenders to the BSDQ if none of them have been accepted.
