DS 2021-02 - Maple View Lodge – Building Permit Code Review Services

The Township of Rideau Lakes is responsible for building permit review and inspection services
for the Township of Athens. Beginning in October 2021 Maple View Lodge in the Township of Athens,
will be submitting building permit applications in order to construct a new approximately 5,300m2 3
storey institutional building for Long Term Care purposes; the building will contain approximately 192
beds for residents. The new building will be constructed on the same property as the existing long term
care facility.
The Township of Rideau Lakes is seeking building permit review services including (but not
limited to) architectural, mechanical and electrical for the proposed facility. The purpose will be to
ensure Ontario Building Code (as amended) conformity and advise when in non-conformity. The
Township of Rideau Lakes is also seeking potential assistance with the inspections of the building during
the course of construction should the need arise. The successful firm will ultimately work as a consultant
for the Chief Building Official as the Township of Rideau Lakes will remain the authority for enforcement,
primary site inspections and final decisions on all matters related to the Ontario Building Code and
Ontario Building Code Act. For the purposes of preparing the proposal Attachment A includes a draft
Building Code Compliance Report with an overview of the Maple View Lodge Project. Attachment B
includes preliminary drawings.
