INTRODUCTION
The Science and Parliamentary Infrastructure Branch (SPIB) of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a requirement for construction advisory services. The successful Contractor will assist PWGSC in planning the construction, support PWGSC in the technical assessment of design proposals, and potentially support PWGSC in the implementation of the Block 2 program.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Government of Canada (Canada) is intending to redevelop a building complex referred to as "Block 2" of the Parliamentary Precinct in Canada’s Capital city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Block 2 is prominently situated on Wellington Street directly south of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill, and offers a high profile setting and exceptional opportunities for development.
There are eleven buildings on the Block 2 site, ranging from three stories to twelve stories. Their architecture is diverse and includes styles from the late nineteen century to early twentieth century, reflecting the period of their construction and the more recent additions and alterations. This variety reflects the historical evolution and activities associated with Block 2.
The great majority of the buildings are designated ?Recognized’ federal heritage buildings due to their historical and architectural significance - 100 Wellington and the Bank of Nova Scotia building are designated ?Classified’. Some of the buildings are currently fully occupied by federal departments, such as the Victoria, Valour, Bank of Nova Scotia and the Fisher buildings, while other buildings are underutilized.
The goal of the Block 2 development project is to restore and modernize aging and underutilized assets on Sparks and Wellington Streets to provide accommodations for the Senate and House of Commons.
