Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to retain a professional engineering firm in the capacity of an Environmental Consultant. This firm will be supported by a team of sub-consultants and specialists in the envelope rehabilitation and base upgrading for the Postal Station "B" (PSB) Project. Construction will be implemented by a Construction Manager (CM) contracted separately by PWGSC.

This information will be used to verify attendants' security clearance at the secret level. Valid photo ID will be required.

This is a single phase selection process. The nature of the services required and strict time frames to implement this project do not allow sufficient time to conduct the usual two phase selection process.

Proponents responding to this RFP are requested to submit a full and complete proposal. The proposal will cover not only the qualifications, experience and organization of the proposed Consultant Team, but also the detailed approach to the work, and the pricing and terms offered. A combination of the technical and price of services submissions will constitute the proposal.

The Consultant shall prepare and actively manage all aspects of the abatement design and implementation associated with this Project and prepare and manage a comprehensive Construction, Renovation and Demolition (CRD) Waste Management Plan, in conjunction and coordination with the PC and the CM. Services shall be provided in accordance with "Doing Business with NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA", as detailed in an appendix to this RFP.

The Proponent shall be an Environmental Engineer licensed, or eligible to be licensed, certified or otherwise authorized to provide the necessary professional services to the full extent that may be required by provincial or territorial law in the province of Ontario.

Postal Station B (PSB) is a 'Classified' federal heritage building that requires major rehabilitation. Currently, it serves a dual purpose by continuing to function as a postal facility while also providing secured office accommodations to the Privy Council Office (PCO).

The project has received full expenditure authority from the National Investment Strategy.
