Consultant services
The Regional Mental Health Centre (RMHC) is a multi level
security institution that is part of Archambault Institution, a
medium security institution. To meet the needs of the RMHC,
Correctional Service Canada (CSC) wishes to build an extension
to the existing building and carry out retrofitting work in some
of the existing space.
This project includes, but is not limited to, the following
activities:
" Geotechnical assessment of the site;
" Temporary and permanent site development work;
" Temporary and permanent modifications to existing fences;
" Determination of locations of existing underground utilities;
" Connections to existing underground utilities;
" Construction of an extension comprising about 810 m² on one or
more floors;
" Retrofitting of office space comprising about 95 m²;
" Selection of required office furniture from the Corcan
catalogue;
" Planning of furniture fit ups and connection to necessary
services;
" Evaluation and analysis of existing security systems and
connection of the new systems to the existing ones. All
requirements for compatibility between existing and new systems
will be fully implemented;
" Modifications and additions to existing safety systems;
" Demolition of a trailer converted into a permanent building;
" Relocation of an existing trailer;
" Detailed study of the impact of snow loads on the existing
RMHC structure, compared with the new extension.
The construction work will be carried out in phases, based on
the planning in the CSC Statement of Requirements, which will be
studied and validated by the consultant and his/her
sub-consultants. Planning must be done for the temporary fit
ups, complying with safety standards, to ensure the continuity
of RMHC and Archambault Institution operations. The construction
work must be planned in such a way as to avoid disrupting the
inmates' rest periods.
The construction budget is estimated at $4,500,000.00, excluding
taxes.
The final completion for the construction project is scheduled
for two years and four months after the awarding of the contract
to the consultant.
