THIS PROCUREMENT CONTAINS A SECURITY REQUIREMENT.

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.

All interested Proponents are invited to attend an optional site
visit on Wednesday March 11th, 2015, at 9:00 am at 11 Metcalfe
Street, Ottawa, Ontario. Interested proponents must provide
name(s) and date(s) of birth of those attending to the
Contracting Authority NO LATER THAN Friday March 6th at 12:00
p.m..  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 must work closely and collaborate continuously
with the Prime Consultant (PC), who is responsible for the
overall building rehabilitation design.  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).  PSB is a 75-year old heritage
building that has not undergone a comprehensive rehabilitation
since its original construction.

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