4553 - Project Manager for Firehall No.1 Replacement

On June 30, 2022, the Salt Spring Island electorate voted by referendum to authorize the funding of a new fire hall to be located on the site near Brinkworthy Road and Lower Ganges Road on Salt Spring Island. 

The Salt Spring Island Fire Protection District (SSIFPD) will construct a new fire hall with approximately 11,500 square feet.  The total project cost is between $12 million and $13.7 million dollars. SSIFPD owns the property at Lot 1 Section 4, North Salt Spring Island Range 2, East Cowichan District Plan EPP23826, PID 029253217 where the new fire hall is to be located.  It is a “greenfield” construction site. 

The new fire hall must meet current building code and post-disaster requirements and provide the space required for Salt Spring Island Fire Rescue to deliver timely services to the community, meeting the level of service set out in the bylaws.

The District seeks to engage the services of a construction project manager that can contribute experience, discipline, and resources to minimize the inherent risk in capital project delivery.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is for the Salt Spring Fire Protection District to receive proposals from qualified individuals, firms and organizations capable of providing project management services for the construction of a new fire hall on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
