PRINCE GEORGE - UHN LND Laundry Relocation

UHNBC LND Laundry Services processes an estimated 7000lbs of linen daily for UHNBC. There are regular service interruptions with most of the equipment having one or more maintenance issues regularly. Parts have become obsolete due to the age of the equipment and repairs are taking longer and longer to complete. The laundry department at UHNBC is over capacity with low ceiling height that won't allow for more modern equipment. A shut down of even one day results in laundry being stacked floor to ceiling with little room to move in the department. The UHNBC Laundry equipment, apart from the large washers that were replaced in 2021 is beyond end of life. The dryers are 22 years old and there is significant risk of unrepairable equipment failure which will result in UHNBC Laundry not being able to complete the laundry service for UHNBC.

Scope of Work:

1) Provide the expert information needed in the preparation of business planning for an off-site laundry facility. Including budgeting, equipment, building retrofits, design documentation, logistics and risk analysis to support the business model requirements within the business plan.

2) Aid by providing the key elements and documentation to acquire funding by the Province. To include a functional program, equipment requirements, space requirements and space planning for the off-site laundry.

3) The off-site laundry facility needs capacity to process an initial 10,000 lbs. daily with consideration for expansion to up to 20,000 lbs. daily. This facility will support laundry services for UHNBC and all LTC site in Prince George and allow for future expansion.  The level of detail of submissions are to facilitate a minimum Class C estimate.
