PQ23-040 - Architectural & Engineering Services – Prince George Aquatic Center and CN Centre

City of Prince George requires Architectural and Engineering services for the renovation of the Prince George Aquatic Center (“PGAC”) and the CN Centre.

The PGAC and the CN Centre were both designed by the same consultant, and constructed in the mid 1990’s.  Both building envelopes have failed and require extensive repair to extend their lifespan.  City of Prince George intends to keep both buildings in operation for the next 25+ years.
The PGAC has HVAC and natatorium requirements in addition to the exterior envelope concerns.

This RFPQ is intended to pre-qualify up to three (3) Respondents for a Request for Proposal (“ RFP”) or Invitation to Tender (“ ITT”) process (posted separately on the Bidding System at a later time), which in turn may ultimately lead to Contract negotiations, or to the creation of a Contract without negotiations.  The City also reserves the right to proceed directly to Contract negotiations without an RFP or ITT, if this RFPQ process leads the City to conclude that only one Respondent is qualified to perform the Work, for example.  The City plans to apply certain desirable criteria to evaluate the submissions received in response to this RFPQ, primarily concerning the capability of each Respondent in relation to the Work, as set out in further detail in this RFPQ.  In addition, certain Mandatory Requirements will apply.  The evaluation results from this RFPQ will be incorporated into the evaluation during the RFP process.
