Advance Procurement Notice

Royal Canadian Dragoons

CFB Petawawa

(with Security Requirements)

Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice

This is not a bid solicitation. This is an advance notice of a potential project with anticipated security requirements to provide interested consultants and contractors an opportunity to apply for security clearances. Note that there is no guarantee that this project will proceed.

Description of the Project

The Royal Canadian Dragoons (RCD) is an armoured reconnaissance regiment, located at Petawawa, Ontario. The RCD occupies over ten facilities at Garrison Petawawa, the majority of which are over 50 years old and in poor condition. The existing infrastructure is ill suited to support the requirements of the RCD and is spread over several buildings outside the main compound. The dispersion of the unit leads to a constant drain on time and resources. This project proposes to provide consolidated, purpose-built operational training and vehicle facilities to allow the RCD to effectively fulfil their role.

Description of the Services

The services required for this project will include the design and construction of one or more building(s) in addition to renovation and demolition of existing buildings. This project is estimated at approximately $50 million and it is currently anticipated that the procurement will be initiated in the late winter/early spring of 2016. This is conditional on the project receiving approval to proceed by the DND.

This project will be delivered under a collaborative model such as Integrated Project Delivery, Modified Design-Build or other collaborative approach.
