PROJECT AND RFP SUMMARY:

Public Works and Government Services Canada intends to retain an
architectural firm, acting as a prime consultant, together with
a multidisciplinary team of sub consultants for the provision of
the services required for this project.

The project involves:
The Visitor Welcome Centre Phase 1 is anticipated to be a
subterranean building with three levels below grade connecting
the West Block, the Centre Block and the Centre Block
Underground Service buildings. In the short term, the VWCPh1's
primary function is to support the West Block building while it
is operating as an interim legislative facility during extensive
upcoming renovations at Centre Block. The VWCPh1 must also be
designed with provisions for future expansion, i.e. Phases 2 and
3 of the Visitor Welcome Centre, such as to form a fully
interconnected subterranean Visitor Welcome Centre (VWC)
facility. Once all three phases of the VWC are completed, the
VWCPh1 will serve as one of two primary entries for visitors to
the buildings of the upper triad of Parliament Hill.

The proponent shall be authorized to provide architectural
services and must include an architect licensed, or eligible to
be licensed, certified or otherwise authorized to provide the
necessary professional services to the full extent that may be
required by provincial or territorial law in the province of
Ontario.

The Class "D" Construction estimate is $48,992,280.00 including
BCC and HST.

Proponents are requested to submit a proposal in two phases.
Phase One proposals cover only the qualifications, experience
and organization of the proposed Consultant Team. Following
evaluation and rating of these proposals, proponents are advised
of their competitive standing and have the opportunity to decide
whether or not to continue their participation by submitting a
Phase Two proposal. Phase Two proposals cover the detailed
approach to the work, and the pricing and terms offered. A
combination of the Phase One and Phase Two submissions
constitutes the final proposal.

A combination of the technical and price of services submissions
will constitute the proposal.
Consulting firms that consider themselves qualified to provide
these services may order the RFP document from the Government
Electronic Tendering Service through MERX. Late submissions
will not be considered.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
