PROJECT DESCRIPTION Summary of work to be done at the federal building at 715 Peel, for the CBSA and CIC: The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) are located in the Federal Building at 715 Peel. Each of these two governmental departments will undergo a major refurbishment project.

Planning is at an advanced Design Development stage. A significant amount of information is available to facilitate the understanding of each project.

As part of the work for each of the two projects, the following activities will be required, without limitation: • Familiarise oneself with the advanced Design Development documents, the Supplementary Electromechanical Technical Brief and all other available documentation. • Conduct surveys and drawings following the review of the available information. • Produce complete construction documents while performing all required services. • Locate the necessary building services and identify connection points. • Plan for all temporary spaces. • Rearrange client spaces on multiple levels, in compliance with the Workplace 2.0 initiative standards • Connect all furniture and equipment. • Coordinatewith Shared Services Canada for IT requirements. • Assess and analyze existing security systems and integrate new requirements. New and existing components must be compatible and adequately detailed. • Respect the heritage requirements. • Obtain Silver LEED-CI certifications.

The implementation of these projects requires planning over several phases. It is expected that CIC be the first project to undergo contruction work, followed by CBSA. The multiple phases of work must be analyzed and validated by the consultants. The building's services cannot be interrupted in order to maintain the operations of the other occupants in the building.

The Federal Building at 715 Peel must comply with a set of security requirements. Visitors are accompanied at all times by commissionaires.

SCHEDULE It is anticipated that the contract award be expedited following the closing of the RFP. Work should begin shortly thereafter.

Schedules for both projects will have to be defined by the consultant in coordination with the construction manager. The schedule will identify all construction phases, including temporary work. The two renovations projects will have to be completed within a tight schedule. Compliance with the delivery dates of these renovations projects is essential.

The CIC renovation project must start first; the CBSA project will follow. Overlapping of both construction projects should be considered in order to meet the schedule.

Substantial completion of the CBSA Major Renovations project must be achieved by October 27th 2017. Employee move-in must be completed by November 5th 2017.

It is strongly recommended to complete the CIC Major Renovations project as soon as possible, to allow CBSA to meet its substantial completion target date.
