Description of Services:
This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation by Algoma University to prospective Proponents to submit a Proposal for the provision of Mukqua Waakaa’igan Architect and Prime Consultant Services from qualified Architectural/Engineering firms.
Key Information

Algoma University has applied for Government funding to support this project, and upon approval, the Successful Proponent will begin full oversight of the design-build. Should the funding not be available, then Algoma University will decide on this project’s status along with the Successful Proponent.

Based on the initial concept design and construction pricing documents, we plan that the existing East Wing building should undergo a selective demolition process to reduce the building to its substructure and its vital components. This should further be validated and refined by the development of final construction documents and by working with local building officials. The programs and services proposed for Mukqua Waakaa’igan may require a footprint more significant than what the existing East Wing can provide. An expansion of the existing gross square footage will be required.

Submission Details:
All submissions must be emailed to AU Contact by the Submission Date/Time listed in the RFP Timetable below.
