Project Overview
The Government of Manitoba, as represented by the Minister of Central Services, is issuing this Stage 2 Request for Proposals (“RFP2”) to Pre-Qualified Service Providers for a two stage project to amalgamate two operating sites of VEMA facilities into one location. The sites are 626 Henry Avenue which will be combined with and moved to 1550 Dublin Avenue. The project consists of:
Phase 1 - a building condition assessment (BCA) of 1550 Dublin Avenue and two environmental reports, one for 1550 Dublin Avenue and one for 626 Henry Avenue and
Phase 2 - Space planning, specifications and design for the amalgamation of the two facilities of VEMA into 1550 Dublin Avenue.
This project is based on the result of an existing feasibility study which identifies the scope of work outlined here. The intent is for the BCA to provide a high level review including architectural, building code and life-saving requirements, structural, electrical, mechanical system reviews as well as a site analysis for parking and drainage. Identification of environmental issues for both buildings are to be included and provided in separate reports for each building. Based on the work of Phase 1, Phase 2 - the design and specifications will be continue through to tender ready and contract management.
The original feasibility study will be made available to the successful bidder. The scope of work for Phase 1 requires a Class B estimate – Preliminary design to 33% will be required.
See Part 5 - Terms of Reference for a full description of the services sought.
