Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) requires the
services of an Architectural firm acting as Prime Consultant,
together with a multi-disciplinary team of sub-consultants &
specialists for the provision of the required services as more
fully described in the Terms of Reference.  The Prime Consultant
will provide a complete team including the following services:
Architectural; Engineering; Civil Engineering; Structural
Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Electrical Engineering;
Building Envelope Specialist; Modular Building or Pre-fabricated
Building Specialist; Control Specialist; Commissioning
Professional/Specialist; and Quantity Surveying Services.

This Request for Proposal is a 1 phase, 2 envelope selection
process. This means that the proponent must submit all technical
information, and at the same time, they must also submit their
cost proposal in a separate sealed envelope. Ensure that
information related to costs are not included with the technical
portion of the proposal.

The project is divided into 3 Phases as more fully described in
the Terms of Reference. All Upper Air Station locations will
have unique requirements due to geography, access, climate and
environment. The existing condition of the Upper Air Stations
will vary per site. Modifications to existing buildings will be
required to support site requirements to ensure functional
operations. Site Customization will be required to support local
requirements. For more information see Attachment 1. 

The intent is to enter a five (5) year contract with the option
of an additional five (5) year contract for updating Environment
Canada's aging Upper Air infrastructure using a pre-fabricated,
modular building approach rather than conventional renovation
methods. The initial five (5) year contract consists of Phases 1
and 2 with an estimated project construction budget of
approximately $6.8 million dollars.
