Request for Prequalification
The National Capital Commission (NCC) invites General Contractors to respond to this Request for Prequalification for the general contractor for the construction in Ottawa, Ontario of the:
NATIONAL HOLOCAUST MONUMENT, including the transition zone and related site servicing alterations.
Process
The prequalification process is to select a General Contractor for the proposed project, demonstrating a record of successful, quality and timely completion of projects of comparable scale, scope and activities as the National Holocaust Monument project. This process will allow those selected companies to bid on the assigned tender package. The package will include technical drawings and specifications of all the components and parts.
Terms
The work included will take place at the north east corner of Booth and Wellington streets in Ottawa (Ontario), implemented from March 2015 to December 2015, for a total expenditure of approximately $6 million (including all applicable taxes).
The NCC is planning to tender this project in December 2014. It is anticipated that construction will begin in March of 2015. Part of the monument will need to be completed for a small ceremony in late August, then construction of the remaining parts of the monument will resume immediately after the ceremony. The aim is to complete the monument in December 2015 in advance of a ceremony to be held on May 4, 2016.
Background on the project
Jointly funded by the National Holocaust Development Council and the Government of Canada, this important new monument will ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust remain within the national consciousness. The design competition resulted in the selection of the design Landscape of Loss, Memory and Survival by the consulting team of Lord Cultural Resources, Studio Daniel Libeskind, Claude Cormier + Associés, Edward Burtynsky and Doris Bergen. The design consultants are currently evolving the design and producing the tender package. The NCC is managing the design and construction of the project.
The project will be located on a 0.32 ha triangular site located at the north east corner of Wellington and Booth Streets in Ottawa's LeBreton Flats. The project will include an additional 11m wide strip along the north side of the monument site, called the transition zone, which is about 1.2 ha in size. The site is the south part of a currently undeveloped block owned by the NCC and bound by Wellington, Booth and a storm water pond to the north.
