Council Office (PCO) in the remainder of the building.  The
newly rehabilitated building will continue to serve this dual
purpose for the foreseeable future.

The Construction Manager will contract with PWGSC for Services
and Construction.  Services are defined as consisting of
Pre-Construction Services, Construction Services, Building
Components and Connectivity (BCC) and Post-construction
Services.  Construction is defined as the work required to
deliver a complete project in a partially occupied building. 
Construction will include major works to rehabilitate the
building envelope and base building systems of the Postal
Station B Building.
