THIS PROCUREMENT CONTAINS A SECURITY REQUIREMENT

DESCRIPTION
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) invites proponents to submit proposals for services to render from the design stage to the Construction Administration stage, as specified in the Required Services (RS) and Additional Services (SA) sections, as part of the present project to construct a new Federal building in Shawinigan.

This new building will provide new office space in support of the programs run by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Health Canada (HC), and Shared Services Canada (SSC). This new building will be constructed on the existing National Verification and collections Centre (NVCC) site at 4695 boul. Shawinigan-Sud, Shawinigan, Québec.

The proponents must take into consideration the following:
• The project will be carried out in project management mode via a contractor hired by PWGSC under a separate contract;
• The new building will be constructed at the site of the existing building, which will be fully occupied and operational and which must remain so at all times for the duration of the project. The execution strategy must, among other criteria, ensure that a maximum number of parking spaces is maintained for the duration of the project;
• The new building must obtain Gold-level LEED-NC accreditation;
• Building information modelling (BIM) will be used to execute this project; and
• Access constraints to the existing building must be considered at every step of the project.
