NOTICE

October 16, 2018

Subject: Upcoming Fire Stopping Contractor Education and Engagement Event

This notice is intended to inform industry of an upcoming education and engagement event with Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) regarding our Fire Life Safety (FLS) Program. The purpose of this event is to share information and attract contractors who may be interested in becoming prequalified to complete fire stopping work for OCH.

The objectives of the event are to:

Share information on OCH’s FLS Program;
Solicit feedback and recommendations from interested parties on the proposed requirements and strategy set out by OCH and Ottawa Fire Services;
Gather industry knowledge and expertise with regard to best practices that would increase the success of OCH’s FLS Program;
Encourage interested parties to submit bids for OCH’s Fire Stopping Prequalification, which is currently scheduled for posting in early 2019; and,
Discuss any concerns regarding working with OCH.

Background

Ottawa Community Housing is currently implementing a multi-year portfolio wide Fire Life Safety (FLS) Program intended to update the housing stock in order to meet the current fire code requirements for our buildings.

A comprehensive FLS program will address years of ongoing capital and maintenance alterations, change of use renovations, deterioration of material components and increasingly stringent legislative requirements, which may have compromised fire separations and fire stopping.

Currently, OCH requires contractors to complete the work necessary to meet the Ontario Fire Code, the Ontario Building Code and to achieve ‘sign-off’ from Ottawa Fire Services.

OCH would like to invite interested parties to OCH’s Contractor Education and Engagement Event to educate and attract interest in OCH’s Fire Stopping Prequalification process.

Meeting Details

When: Thursday, November 22, at 9:00 am to 11:00 am

Where: 39 Auriga Drive, Head Office Boardroom

An optional follow-up drop-in meeting will be held at 31 McEwen, Ottawa on Tuesday November 27 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. This on-site review will allow interested parties the opportunity to review a sample project.
