Project:

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NATIONAL HOLOCAUST MONUMENT INCLUDING THE TRANSITION ZONE

Request for Prequalification

The National Capital Commission (NCC) invites General Contractors to respond to this Request for Prequalification for the general contractor for the construction in Ottawa, Ontario of the:

NATIONAL HOLOCAUST MONUMENT, including the transition zone

Process

The prequalification process is to select a General Contractor for the proposed project, demonstrating a record of successful, quality and timely completion of projects of comparable scale, scope and activities as the National Holocaust Monument project. This process will allow those selected companies to bid on the assigned tender package. The package will include technical drawings and specifications of all the components and parts.

In September 2014, a pre-qualification process (NG267) for Contractors was carried out which resulted in the pre-qualification of nine (9) General Contractors. The nine Contractors who qualified in the September 2014 Request for Prequalification do not have to re-submit and will automatically retain their prequalification for this project. The re-publishing of the request for prequalification is due to trade agreement requirements.

Terms

The work included will take place at the north east corner of Booth and Wellington streets in Ottawa (Ontario), implemented from March 2016 with substantial completion in December2016.

Background on the project

Jointly funded by the National Holocaust Development Council and the Government of Canada, this important new monument will ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust remain within the national consciousness. The design competition resulted in the selection of the design Landscape of Loss, Memory and Survival by the consulting team of Lord Cultural Resources, Studio Daniel Libeskind, Claude Cormier + Associés, Edward Burtynsky and Doris Bergen. The design consultants are currently evolving the design and producing the tender package. The NCC is managing the design and construction of the project.

The project will be located on a 0.44ha triangular site located at the north east corner of Wellington and Booth Streets in Ottawa's LeBreton Flats. The project will include an 11m wide strip along the north side of the monument site, called the transition zone. The site is the south part of a currently undeveloped block owned by the NCC and bound by Wellington, Booth and a storm water pond to the north.
