Building Upgrades, High Commission of Canada in Dhaka, Bangladesh

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION (RFQ) Title: Building Upgrades, High Commission of Canada in Dhaka, Bangladesh Project: B-DHAKA-302 Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is initiating a process to prequalify construction firms interested and capable of implementing Building Upgrades at the High Commission of Canada in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This project may be of interest to medium-sized construction firms experienced in implementing building upgrades (interior and exterior) and other special enhancements to unique architectural projects such as embassies and other finely detailed buildings and interiors located in South Asia or areas with similar environmental and socio-economic conditions. In addition to previous experience in working on such new buildings and interiors, this project will require expertise and experience in integrating renovation work with new construction. Interested construction firms are required to submit their response to this Request for Qualification (RFQ) Stage 1 – Prequalification in advance of a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP) - Stage 2, to be issued later. Stage 1 – Prequalification: This Stage is intended to prequalify companies with the necessary experience to be considered as the primary construction firm. The prequalification of companies is based on defined mandatory requirements specified in this document (refer to item 7. Mandatory Requirements for Prequalification). Among other requirements, these include: technical capability, competence, and experience of the Respondent. Should there be an insufficient number of prequalified companies after Stage 1 to permit a competition in Stage 2, DFATD reserves the right (but will not be obligated) to cancel Stage 2 or to modify the requirements and re-publish the solicitation using the same or a different approach, including but not limited to the aforementioned prequalification process and opening the RFP process to any and all companies. The assessment of the sufficiency of number of prequalified companies shall be at DFATD’s sole and absolute discretion. Alternatively, if responses received from this RFQ indicate that such capability and interest exists, the Minister may solicit proposals by means of a Request for Proposals.
