Description

The University of Toronto is seeking to shortlist up to three Design-Build (DB) teams for services related to the design and construction of Central Utility Plant 2 (CUP2) at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) (the “Project”). This RFSQ represents the first part of a two-stage selection process; shortlisted Proponents will be invited to submit a response to a subsequent RFP.

UTM has pledged to reduce its campus greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 37% below 1990 levels by 2030. CUP2 is envisioned as a nodal utility plant that will serve as a core component of the campus’ transition to climate-positive operating model by 2050. CUP2 will provide resilient, low-carbon heating and cooling, and normal and emergency power to the west part of campus while supporting the academic mission of the university through infrastructure that is adaptable, energy-efficient, and educationally integrated. In addition to delivering technical and environmental performance, CUP2 will serve as a “living lab” (showcasing CUP2’s systems through interactive exhibits, colour-coded infrastructure, and integration with GIS platforms and library resources) enabling students, faculty, researchers, and campus operations staff to engage with real-time building and system data.
