Renovations to the RCMP J. Division Headquarters Building -
Fredericton, New Brunswick


Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is calling
for proposals from Architects for a requirement to renovate the
RCMP J Division Headquarters building located in Fredericton,
New Brunswick. Services to be included are specification and
drawing review and verification, preparing a tender package for
each unit, and services during construction including on site
supervision.The building will remain fully occupied and
operational during construction thus requiring a construction
phasing plan.  Renovation will involve major upgrades to the
mechanical and electrical base systems with associated
modifications to the architecural components.  It is anticipated
that the penthouse will be expanded to accommodate the
mechanical and some electrical changes. Significant upgrades to
the elevator systems are required.  Changes to the interior
layouts of approximately 60% of the building on floors 1 to 4
including furniture inventory and recommendations for final
layout. 

This is a Two Phase Procedure, Request for Proposal (RFP) based
upon the requirements of the RFP document and the Project Brief.
The successful proponent will be required to enter into a
Standard Architectural & Engineering Services Contract (Terms
and Conditions are included in the RFP).
Within the RFP Document, the Crown sets out the project
requirements, i.e., the particulars of the project itself and
the broad scope of services required from the proponent.
Proponents responding to the RFP will be requested to submit
their proposal in two phases. Phase One cover only the
qualifications, experience and the organization of the
Proponents Team and accomplishments of its key personnel.  Phase
Two proposals will cover the detailed approach to the Work, and
the pricing and terms offered.
