Document		MO-1364


File #		MA-000167-1


Institution/HIC		City of Windsor


Summary		The City of Windsor (the City) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to information regarding "Utility Restoration/Pavement Repairs - 1999 Tender Award." In particular, in noting that the bid package for this tender contained estimated quantities, the requester asked for the actual quantities determined to have been supplied and the prices actually paid for this work. The City notified the company that was awarded the tender of the request pursuant to section 21 of the Act and invited it to make submissions regarding disclosure of the requested information. The company objected to disclosure of the tender award. The City subsequently issued a decision indicating that it intends to disclose a copy of the tender purchase order and the cost of the contract for a specific number of square feet. The company appealed the City's decision on the basis that disclosure of this information would prejudice its competitive position (section 10(1)(a) of the Act ). I sent a Notice of Inquiry to the company, initially. The company submitted representations in response. In addition to its submissions, the company requested that I consider all correspondence from it as forming part of its representations. Based on the company's submissions and correspondence and my review of the records, I decided that it was not necessary to seek representations from the City or the requester.
