Nature of Requirements:
New Public Exhibition and Programming Facility for the Portrait
Gallery of Canada

Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada as represented by the
Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada
("PWGSC"), on behalf of Library and Archives Canada ("LAC") is
inviting prospective developers to submit a proposal to develop
a new public exhibition and public programming facility (the
"Project") for the Portrait Gallery of Canada ("PGC"). This
request for proposals is unique in that developers are expected
to seek out private sector and community resources in support of
their proposal.

The completed and commissioned Project will be leased on a
long-term basis or, alternatively, purchased by the Government
of Canada ("GoC"), and the developer who is selected (the
"Developer") pursuant to this Request for Proposals ("RFP"),
will manage the completed Project under the terms of a Property
Management Agreement. The Project will be developed on a site
owned or controlled by the Developer ("Project Site") in any one
of 9 cities identified as potential hosts for the Project.

The Project is to reflect a high standard of achievement. The
Project is intended to become a must see destination site, for
all Canadians and visitors from around the world. It must
respond to the high expectation of the public when visiting a
site such as a national gallery and must sustain the excitement
of Canadians for generations to come. The spaces in the Project
will include five primary groupings: visitor services,
exhibitions, education and public programming, collections
management and administration/operations.

Developers are responsible for mobilizing community and private
sector resources and support for their proposal. More
specifically, proposals are expected to include:

·    Demonstration of private sector and community support and
engagement, including
    capital and ongoing support for the PGC and Project;
·    A prominent, accessible and suitable location within one of
the 9 cities; and,
·    Financial terms, a demonstrated expertise and the required
financial capability.

This RFP does not include the submission of a design or an
architectural/engineering design team.

In order to encourage innovative and creative designs,
prospective Developers will be given considerable flexibility in
structuring their proposals. Proposals can include existing
facilities, or new buildings to be constructed on prominently
located sites.

Prospective Developers can choose to structure their proposal in
the form of a 25 year lease-purchase arrangement with the GoC.
Alternatively, the Developer may complete a develop-purchase
transaction where the GoC will purchase the Project, upon its
completion. In both transaction approaches, the Developer will
manage the Project pursuant to the terms of a Property
Management Agreement.

All compliant proposals will be evaluated against selection
criteria outlined in the RFP, including the extent of community
and private sector engagement and support. The evaluation will
be carried out by a selection committee, which will include
representatives from the public and private sector as well as
established cultural institutions.
The following contractual agreements, as appropriate, are to be
entered into between the Developer and GoC for the development
and ownership of the Project:

a)    Development Agreement;

b)    Lease or, alternatively;

c)    Agreement of Purchase and Sale; and

d)    Property Management Agreement or Leased Premises Management
Agreement

Developers can request Word format versions of these documents
from MERX as well as one (1) bound copy of Appendix "A" of the
RFP. Developers can request additional bound copies of Appendix
"A" in writing only by e-mail to the contract authority named by
PWGSC.

All communications regarding the RFP are to be directed in
writing only by e-mail to the contract authority named by PWGSC.
Inquiries and other communications are not to be directed to any
other government official. Failure to comply with this provision
can, for that reason alone, result in the disqualification of a
proposal.
