This is to provide advance notice that Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is expecting to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to development teams who may then be asked if qualified to respond to a detailed Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFQ is expected to be issued in the fall 2009 and will be made available on the MERX website at www.merx.com. Through the RFQ process, DCC intends to qualify potential development teams with the interest, capability and capacity to design, build, finance and maintain (DBFM) a new Defence Department office and special purpose facility to be constructed in the greater Ottawa area utilizing a Public-Private-Partnership (P3) approach. The facility will be located on a site owned by the Government of Canada. This upcoming opportunity will be of interest to developers with the capacity, either directly or through a consortium, for the design, construction, financing and management of a facility comprising a total of 72,000 rentable square metres of office, support and special purpose space, together with associated site development and infrastructure requirements. Development teams will be required to have the qualifications, experience and capability to provide services at minimum in the following areas of expertise: • Public-Private-Partnership (P3) • Design-Build (DB) • Facility Management (FM) • Financing • Provision of physical security and IM/IT infra-structure services. The facility space will be split into two main functions: • Office - that generally encompasses the typical open and closed offices, support spaces, meeting rooms, training rooms, etc. required to accommodate management and office administrative functions. • Special Purpose Space - areas required for special operational functions that include a data centre, electronic labs, computer rooms, fabrication shops, secure areas, and other normal functions associated with a large facility such as loading docks, building entries, cafeterias, security, etc. The successful Proponent to a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP), upon approval, will enter into a project agreement to design, build, finance and maintain the building for a management term of 30 years beginning in 2015. The successful Proponent will be required to meet Federal design, construction and management criteria and performance standards, and obtain municipal and Federal development permit approvals. The successful Proponent will have to ensure that the facility meets the requirements up to the LEED® Gold certification. In order to obtain documents to the RFQ, Proponents, or at least one member of the development team will be required to hold valid Facility Security Clearances (FSC) at the level of SECRET with approved Document Safeguarding Capability (DSC) at the level of SECRET, both issued by the Canadian Industrial Security Directorate (CISD), Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), at the time of the RFQ.

All firms interested in this opportunity are encouraged to obtain security clearances in advance of the RFQ and subsequent RFP.
