File #  MA-980226-1
Institution/HIC  City of Kitchener
Summary  NATURE OF THE APPEAL: The City of Kitchener (the City) decided to build a new fire department headquarters. For this purpose, the City retained the services of an architect (the architect). One of the architect's duties was to conduct a pre-qualification process, a process by which potential bidders/construction firms are screened to prevent those who clearly are unqualified from bidding. After the pre-qualification process was completed, the City received a request for access to information under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) from a firm that had not been permitted to bid. The request was for records concerning the pre-qualification of bidders for the construction of the new headquarters, and was broken down into three parts:
  • Any notes, letters, memos, messages or other records referring in any way to [the requester] received by the City from anyone other than [the requester].
  • Any notes, letters, memos, messages, reports or other records in any way referring to [the requester] prepared by the City for [its] own use, or for the use of others, other than [the requester].
  • All record[s] and documents used to include or exclude each applicant from bidding for the project through the pre-qualification process, including all submissions and evaluations performed by or on behalf of the City.
