The Museum is seeking Proposals from potential firms who have managerial and technical experience in providing Architectural Services in both Gatineau (Québec) and Ottawa (Ontario), Canada. This is a one-step two-envelope submission process (Technical and Financial) to select the highest ranked Proponent(s) who may then be invited to be included on a Source List (SL) for eventual work required either at the Canadian Museum of History (CMH) building, located at 100 Laurier, Gatineau, Quebec, or the Canadian War Museum (CWM) located at 1, Vimy Place, Ottawa, Ontario
