Description

1. Invitation

PCL\ED, a Joint Venture, acting as the Construction Manager (CM) are inviting Bidders to submit their Expression of Interest to bid on the Replica Historic Wallpaper portions of the Centre Block Rehabilitation Project. The project is located at 111 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario.
This is the first phase of a three-phase procurement process:
Phase One – Request for Expression of Interest (REI), posted on MERX™ publicly to seek Respondents with experience in the design, fabrication, supply and/or installation of replica historic wallpaper. Note: Bidders are to identify which aspects of the work they can perform. Expressions of Interest can be for any parts of the Scope of Work as part of industry engagement.
Phase Two – Request for Qualification (RFQ), will be issued to all who responded to the REI and is intended to pre-qualify Bidders with the necessary experience to replicate historic wallpaper through the use of surviving historic fragments and as-found documentation, provide oversight for the installation of replica historic wallpaper within a heritage building, and employ conservation practices and materials to ensure longevity and preservation of replica historic wallpaper.
Phase Three – Invitation to Bid (RFP)
Invitations to Bid will be sent to those bidders who pass the requirements defined in the RFQ.
This (REI) document sets out the requirements for the submission of the Bidder’s Expression of Interest and specifies the Bidder eligibility requirements that must be met to proceed to the RFQ and RFP phases.
Should there be an insufficient number of prequalified Respondents after Phase Two to permit a competition in Phase Three, the CM reserves the right to cancel Phase Three or to modify the Phase Two requirements and re-publish the solicitation using the same or a different approach.
