A solar facility has been constructed on the roof of the building on the Property further to a rooftop license agreement, as amended (the 鈥�Contract鈥�). Copies of the documents constituting the Contract are available to the solicitors for a party who wishes to submit an Offer. If this is the case, please have your solicitors submit their request to Scott Spindler at [email protected]. Receipt of the Contract will be subject to the recipient agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of its terms. The form of Offer which the Board requires offerors to submit contains a condition to closing in favour of the Board which provides that the successful offeror shall have, on or prior to closing, negotiated and agreed to the assignment and assumption of the Board鈥檚 rights and obligations under the Contract to and by the successful offeror.
1.0 Information for Bidders
1.1 Offers received after the Closing Time will not be considered and will be returned unopened (unless the address of the offeror does not appear upon the outside of the envelope, in which case the Board will open the envelope for purposes of determining the address of the offeror).
1.2 An offeror who has already submitted an Offer may submit a further Offer at any time up to Closing Time. The last Offer received shall supersede and invalidate all Offers previously submitted by that offeror.
1.3 There will be no public opening of the Offers received. Information concerning the Offers received will not be published by the Board.
1.4 The Board shall have complete discretion as to whether to accept or reject any or all Offers for whatever reasons it may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate. The Board has a statutory obligation to sell the Property at fair market value. Among other considerations, the Board will consider the offers it receives in relation to such obligation. The Board reserves the right to negotiate with any offeror and, in the event negotiations with that offeror fail, the Board reserves the right to approach and negotiate with any other offeror.
1.5 Set out below, under the heading "Related Files", is a link to the form of Offer which the Board requires offerors to submit in the event they are interested in the Property.
1.6 Also set out below are links to additional information regarding the Property, namely a Designated Substances Management Plan for the Property and a Property Fact Sheet. Offerors are advised that no representations or warranties, whatsoever, are made by the Board as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information. It is the responsibility of each offeror to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and all other aspects thereof. The Board had previously made available an Asset Condition Assessment regarding the Property which had been commissioned by the Ministry of Education. Certain of the information contained in that assessment was inaccurate. The assessment indicated that the Property is serviced by sanitary waste piping system with gravity discharge to the city main. That information is incorrect. In fact, the Property鈥檚 sanitary waste systems are comprised of two (2) septic systems. Interested parties should not rely on any of the information contained in the previously shared Asset Condition Assessment.

Questions received and the Board's responses may be published on the Board's website, prior to the Closing Time; provided that, the Board reserves the right to: decline to respond to any question received; not publish any question received; and/or paraphrase or edit any question received, in its complete discretion.

It is the responsibility of each offeror to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and all other aspects thereof. No claim shall be allowed at any time after submission of an Offer that there was any misunderstanding of the terms and conditions of this tender. Failure to make the necessary examinations or investigations shall not be accepted: as an excuse for any default on the part of the Offer to fulfil in every detail all the requirements of this tender and their Offer; or, as a basis for any claims whatsoever for an extension of time in any circumstance.
