Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of
HRSDC require a number of relocations from various sites in
Metro Vancouver to the new facility.
The bulk of the relocation will entail several general office
moves totaling approximately 437 people. Each move may include
but is not limited to, staff office content materials, closed
office furniture, general filing and storage cabinets, computers
and peripherals and office equipment.  The relocation also
involves support space furniture and contents including
conference and meeting room furniture, interview room contents,
general file cabinets and storage room contents being moved to
various locations for surplus. The moves may also include
dismantling of existing panel systems furniture and disposal
off-site. Some of the panel-hung surfaces may also have cabling
and devices to be removed before disposal. Moves may include
dismantling of metal shelving and reassembling, or relocating to
a disposal site.
The Scope of this work includes all aspects of the planning and
delivery of the HRSDC Move Project. This project will comprise a
series of moves to relocate HRSDC staff from existing facilities
to the new location. The number of moves and the number of staff
members being relocated per move will be proposed by the
Contractor's Project Manager during the initial planning
meetings after consultation with the HRSDC and PWGSC project
teams. Each of these moves will typically focus on groups of 10
- 150 people, though exceptions may have to be made. In the
event of exceptions to these limits, the Contractor will work
with the HRSDC and PWGSC project teams to determine an
appropriate and achievable statement of the work. The Contractor
must have the capacity to respond to and incorporate urgent
requests within the Contract timeframes.
The Contractor's Project Manager must take the leadership role
in the planning exercises for all aspects of the move and take
ownership of the whole plan, providing updates to all project
team members, as applicable.  The specific and detailed scope of
each move will be itemized at the time of issuance of the
Statement of Work and Task Authorization for the specific move.
In general, the move is expected to take place in seven phases:
