REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR DESIGN-BUILD STANDING OFFERS FOR OFFICE FIT-UP PROJECTS

SUMMARY

Based on industry feedback and an evolving government environment, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is contemplating the establishment of Design-Build Standing Offers (DBSOs) to deliver a full range of office fit-up projects, in the National Capital Area and potentially across Canada, and is seeking information from respondents with interest, individually or as part of a consortium/joint venture, in one or more aspects of the proposed approach. The scope of work under the Standing Offers will include the design and construction phases potentially including the provision and installation of furniture and information technology infrastructure.

PSPC is looking to achieve the following outcomes through the use of the DBSOs: - Full project delivery (design and construction) reducing the overall project lifecycle timeline, increasing the overall quality of work while reducing overall project risk; - Enabling risk to be assumed and managed by the parties best positioned to do so; - Consistency in the delivery of the program of work to be delivered via this arrangement by leveraging qualified vendors; - Increased efficiency in the award of individual work packages; - Increased overall project delivery capacity; and - Cost certainty including fixed or per unit pricing wherever possible.

Estimates for individual fit-up work packages (inclusive of design and construction) vary but maximums are estimated to be upwards of $60M (including taxes) per project. Individual projects will normally be within the same office building/complex and will take place on one or more floors. PSPC would consider the possibility of pre-qualifying different groups of design-builders based on cost scope ladders segregated by construction values (e.g.
