Title:
Design-Build Construction of Generic Support Buildings

Locations:
Matsqui Institution and Pacific Institution, 33344 King Road,
Abbotsford, BC

Background:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting
qualified Turnkey (Design-Build) Bidders to deliver new Generic
Support Buildings at Matsqui Institution and Pacific
Institution, Abbotsford, BC.

The objective of this RFP is to retain an individual Contractor
or Joint Venture to provide the complete design-build (turnkey)
work for Support Buildings at Correctional Services Canada,
Matsqui Institution and Pacific Institution, Abbotsford, BC. 
Utilizing a turnkey service delivery methodology, a full range
of professional consultant and contractor services will be
required during both the design and construction phases of the
project. The work consists of but is not limited to the design
and construction of two (2) buildings, including site work and
service connections. The Project requires design and execution
for multiple disciplines carefully coordinated with on-going
Institutional operations.

Request for Proposal Process:
This is a single phase selection process. The RFP Document sets
out the project requirement, i.e., the particulars of the
project itself and the broad scope of services required from the
Contractor.  Based upon their analysis of the project
requirements and the capability/capacity of their firm, the
bidders formulate bids for the service, including their price.

The bidders describe their capabilities and proposed services in
the "Technical Portion" of the submission (Envelope One). The
"Price Portion" includes the proposed price and bid security
which is submitted in a sealed envelope (envelope two).

The Technical Portion of competitive bids are evaluated, without
knowledge of the price, by the Technical Evaluation Board. 
Evaluation is based on a set of pre-established criteria,
components and weight factors. Numerical technical scores are
awarded at the completion of the technical evaluation.

Price envelopes are then opened for the technically qualified
proposals.  The responsive submission with the lowest price will
be recommended for award of the contract.

"This procurement contains mandatory requirements"

Proposals not meeting the mandatory requirements will be deemed
non-responsive and will be given NO further consideration.

Delivery Date:
It is expected that the completion of the work will be Forty-Six
Weeks from Contract Award.

Site Visit Date:
It is recommended that the bidder attend the optional site visit
at the designated date and time to examine the scope of the work
required and the existing conditions. The optional site visit
will be held at 1:30 PM on Thursday, April 12, 2012 at the
Matsqui Insitution, 33344 King Road, Abbotsford, BC. Attendees
are to meet at the PWGSC site office.  Due to limited space,
each turnkey (design-build) bidder is limited to no more than 4
persons.  Due to security considerations, persons with criminal
records may be denied access to the Institution. 

All contractors must wear a high visibility vest, which meets
WCB standards, for all site visits including a tender site
visit.  No cameras, cell phones (of any type) or laptop
computers are allowed into institutions at any time.
