THIS PROCUREMENT CONTAINS A SECURITY REQUIREMENT
INTRODUCTION
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to retain a consulting firm or joint venture to provide the professional services for the project as set out in this Request for Proposal (RFP).
It is recommended that the Proponent or a representative of the Proponent attend the Bidders Conference. Arrangements have been made for a Bidders Conference to be held at 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario on July 26, 2018. The Bidders Conference will begin at 14:00, in Salon A.
Proponents are requested to communicate with the Contracting Authority no later than July 23, 2018 at 14:00 to confirm attendance and provide the name(s) of the person(s) who will attend. Proponents may be requested to sign an attendance sheet. Proponents who do not attend or do not send a representative will not be given an alternative appointment but they will not be precluded from submitting a bid. Any clarifications or changes to the bid solicitation resulting from the Bidders Conference will be included as an amendment to the bid solicitation.
This is a single phase selection process. The nature of the requirement and the anticipated limited number of response by the industry leads PWGSC to believe that this approach will not unduly force a large number of firms to expend an overall unreasonable amount of effort in response to PWGSC.
Proponents responding to this RFP are requested to submit a full and complete proposal. The proposal will cover not only the qualifications, experience and organization of the proposed Consultant Team, but also the detailed approach to the work, and the pricing and terms offered. A combination of the technical and price of services submissions will constitute the proposal.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Parliamentary Precinct Branch (PPB) of the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) requires the Consultant to provide a broad range of architectural, engineering, urban planning/design and other specialized services to deliver future planning, pre-project and preliminary project development initiatives to achieve a coordinated and integrated approach to design and development of the Parliamentary Precinct Campus.
Activities will be grouped into three streams:
Stream 1: Planning Framework - Under this stream, the Consultant will develop a Campus Master Plan (LTVP Update) for the Parliamentary Precinct integrated with the adjacent Judicial Precinct and Library and Archives Canada Site which will establish parameters for future growth and development in the Parliamentary Precinct.
Stream 2: Architectural, Engineering and Specialized Services - Under this stream the Consultant will provide, as and when required, a broad range of general architectural, engineering and other specialized services over a period of up to 15 years to support the continued implementation of the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP), and as updated by the Campus Master Plan in Stream 1. This requirement includes supporting planning/pre-project technical studies to further define, refine and develop specific projects captured under the Campus Master Plan vision and direction established under Stream 1, as well as to provide pre-design, design, and/or construction oversight services for selected projects identified in the existing LTVP and as updated by the Campus Master Plan. Although the intent of this stream is largely focused on the provision of planning/pre-project studies (i.e. pre-design services), the Consultant may also be requested via Task Authorization to provide full design and/or construction oversight services for capital construction projects not to exceed $20 million in construction cost.
Stream 3: Advocate Architect Services - Under this stream the Consultant will provide, as and when required, architectural and engineering oversight support services for select projects delivered using a Design-Build or Alternative Form of Procurement (AFP). The role of the Advocate Architect is to ensure that the design-build team or AFP team, adheres to a high standard of design and construction quality, and conforms to performance specifications and design guidelines established for the project.
SECURITY REQUIREMENT:
Before award of a contract, the following conditions must be met:
(a) the Proponent must hold a valid organization security clearance as indicated in SRE3.1.5;
(b) the Proponent's proposed individuals requiring access to classified or protected information, assets or sensitive work site(s) must meet the security requirement as indicated in SRE3.1.5;
(c) the Proponent must provide the name of all individuals who will require access to classified or protected information, assets or sensitive work sites.
