Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is initiating a process to prequalify construction firms interested and capable of implementing Building Upgrades & renovations at the Embassy of Canada to Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou.

This project may be of interest to medium-sized construction firms who are capable of providing the full range of services required in English or French (Note: the local working language is French), have the ability to travel to and perform construction work in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and are experienced in implementing building upgrades (interior and exterior) and other special enhancements to unique architectural projects such as embassies and other finely detailed buildings and interiors located in West Africa or areas with similar environmental and socio-economic conditions. In addition to previous experience in working on such new buildings and interiors, this project will require expertise and experience in integrating renovation work with new construction.

Project 1 – L-OUGA-300

Physical upgrades (exterior) and other special enhancements.

Project 2 – L-OUAGA-100

Integrating renovation work (interior).

Interested construction firms are required to submit their response to this Request For Qualification (RQ) Stage 1 – Prequalification in advance of a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP) - Stage 2, to be issued later.

Stage 1 – Prequalification: This Stage is intended to prequalify companies with the necessary experience to be considered as the General Contractor. The prequalification of companies is based on defined mandatory requirements specified in this document (refer to item 7. Mandatory Requirements for Prequalification). Among other requirements, these include: technical capability, competence, and experience of the Respondent.

Should there be an insufficient number of prequalified companies after Stage 1 to permit a competition in Stage 2, DFATD reserves the right (but will not be obligated) to cancel Stage 2 or to modify the requirements and re-publish the solicitation using the same or a different approach, including but not limited to the aforementioned prequalification process and opening the RFP process to any and all companies. The assessment of the sufficiency of number of prequalified companies shall be at DFATD’s sole and absolute discretion. Alternatively, if responses received from this RQ indicate that such capability and interest exists, the Minister may solicit proposals by means of a Request for Proposals.

Organizations capable and interested are to provide a response by email to realproperty-contracts@international.gc.ca

no later than 10:00 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on 10 June 2019. Responses may be in the form of existing material (resumes, brochures, corporate profiles, reference letters, etc.), but also must clearly demonstrate how the respondent meets the mandatory requirements.
