2020-23-P-7179 - Consultant, Structural Masonry Remediation

This is a public proposal open to all interested proponents.
Manitoba Housing requires the services of a Consultant to address the imminent life safety and structural issues of the masonry assemblies of the exterior masonry veneer and assess and design a permanent fix for the exterior of the building at 865 Sinclair St, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The property is a nine storey multi tenant building with 126 units built in 1971. The masonry brick veneer exterior cladding has begun to fail. Bricks have fallen and there is potential of additional bricks, which may become loose, to fall, creating a hazard for people beneath. Also, identified is rust jacking at the shelf angle, failed masonry ties, water infiltration, and multi-direction cracking across the masonry veneer and associated joints.
This project will consist of property condition assessment, emergency/safety remediation, design, and construction administration related to the work that will be identified in the assessment.
An optional site visit is scheduled for September 3, 2020 at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time (CST).
Deadline for questions is September 8, 2020. All questions are to be submitted to the Contract Administrator at nicole.doherty@gov.mb.ca.
Submission deadline is September 15, 2020 at 2:00:00 PM CST. Proposals are to be submitted via MERX. No other form of submission will be accepted.
