WR#50592 ESC 3rd Floor Renovations - UW Earth Science Chemistry Third Floor Renovation

 An Architectural Prime Consultant was selected to complete a Masterplan study and Class D estimate to renovate a Science Faculty Building originally built in 1964.  The masterplan consulting contract (prior to the COVID-19 pandemic) was based on a Request for Service Qualifications, followed by a Request for Proposal that included an interview.  This Prime Consultant completed extensive on-site reviews of existing conditions for the building which has limited as-built drawing information. The scope of work includes extensive interior renovations to 25,000 square feet of offices and laboratories.  Unless there is strong petition to the contrary, the University of Waterloo intends to direct award the remaining design phases to the same Prime Consultant who completed the Masterplan.  This is in consideration of the current situation with respect to safe access to the project site and the aggressive schedule set forth to renovate while the building is largely unoccupied.
