As the subcontractor of a supplier that has a contract with Hydro‑Québec, are you looking to revoke your subcontract or any claim under your subcontract to reserve your rights and protect your claims?
Hydro‑Québec is a government‑owned organization, and legal hypothecs on Hydro‑Québec immovables are therefore prohibited and shall be deemed invalid.
To report an issue, contact the supplier that has a contract with Hydro‑Québec which must provide a list of its subcontractors to the Hydro‑Québec representative responsible for administering the contract.
We invite you to take a look further down this page at the notice entitled: Reminder of the importance of Hydro‑Québec suppliers’ obligations with regard to their subcontractors.
These obligations are set out in the contracts awarded, namely in the “Management of work and services” condition under the general or special conditions.
When required by a tender call, bids must include a list of the bidders’ subcontractors as well as the work that will be assigned to them. Once a contract is awarded, any change must be authorized by Hydro‑Québec prior to the subcontracted work or services, as stipulated in the general conditions.
Failing to disclose information in a timely fashion regarding the subcontractors and employees who will carry out the contracts, or providing any false or misleading statement in this regard, is strictly prohibited in accordance with Hydro‑Québec’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
Send your question to the email address of the representative in question. If they are still employed by Hydro‑Québec, they will respond to your email. If you don’t receive a response, send your request to the e‑mail address DPASInfo-Administrationdecontrats@hydroquebec.com, by indicating your contract number.
Verify the presence (or absence) of a contractual clause stipulating how to proceed in this type of situation (dispute resolution). In the absence of such a clause, write to the Hydro-Québec contract administrator to express your dispute. He will then guide you through the steps
The claim must be submitted to the Hydro-Québec contract administrator. The claim must include the following:
- Context (including each trigger)
- Details regarding what was stipulated in the contract and what actually occurred (include the dates on which the events in question occurred)
- Prejudice resulting from each triggering events
- The connection between the prejudices and and the triggering events
- A detailed estimate of the costs being claimed for each prejudice
You must also attach all relevant supporting documents to your claim.
You must contact the Hydro‑Québec contract administrator representative as soon as possible and inform him what you propose to do in order to meet the deadline.
