https://www.renewcanada.net/city-of-north-bay-selects-ellisdon-as-design-builder-for-new-recreation-centre-project/ The City of North Bay announced that EllisDon Corporation has been selected as the design-builder for the new Community and Recreation Centre project. City Council initiated the progressive design-build process and approved the contract to EllisDon in the amount of approximately $2.6 million for the provision of project development services. "The approval of the contract with EllisDon marks an important step forward in realizing our vision for a modern, inclusive Community and Recreation Centre," said Councillor Lana Mitchell, Chair of Infrastructure and Operations. This initial phase of the progressive design-build process is aimed at achieving early alignment on cost, schedule, and functional program, paving the way for Council to select a preferred design concept. Once the preferred design concept has been selected, the process will involve further refinement, including generating cost estimates with value engineering options, prior to a public meeting to gather feedback to be used to help inform the actual form, size, character, and design details of the project. Negotiations for a guaranteed maximum price will take place next, followed by the completion of design documents, including drawings and specifications. Once this stage is complete, a finalized design and price will be presented to Council for approval. The target for completion of construction is the end of December 2025. "While a target price of approximately $60 million has been set for the project, Council's objective with the progressive Design-Build approach is to deliver a new Community and Recreation Centre at the most competitive price possible," said Mitchell. The new Community and Recreation Centre will be situated at the Steve Omischl Sports Field Complex on Lakeshore Drive. This new facility will maintain current recreational services within an upgraded and modernized setting, while providing an additional ice pad to augment the existing inventory. "This new facility will not only enhance recreational opportunities but will also set a new standard for sustainability," said Councillor Justine Mallah, Chair of Community Services. "I'm looking forward to seeing this project move ahead with a design that will work best for our community." The project has secured approval for $25.78 million under the Government of Canada's Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program and will meet the Canada Green Building Council's Zero Carbon Building Design Standard. _______________________________________ https://www.nugget.ca/news/north-bay-council-selects-ellisdon-as-the-design-builder-for-the-new-twin-pad-arena North Bay council agreed to award EllisDon Corporation as the design-builder for the new twin-pad arena.

Several councils have been debating the project that will be situated at the Steve Omischl Sports Field Complex on Lakeshore Drive for years. On Tuesday night, the current council voted 8-2 in favour of the project and awarded the approximately $2.6-million contraction for development services to Ellis Don. Councillors Lowery and Inch were the only two to vote against. “The approval of the contract with Ellis Don marks an important step forward in realizing our vision for a modern, inclusive Community and Recreation Centre,” Councillor Lana Mitchell, chair of Infrastructure and Operations said in a statement. According to a news release from the city, the ice pad is still in its early stages. It’ll focus on cost, schedule and functionality, allowing council to pick a preferred design. Once a concept is chosen, then they can refine it to reflect cost estimates along with value engineering options. Negotiations for a guaranteed maximum price will happen after that followed by the completion of the design documents, which includes drawings and specifications. The target for competition of construction is the end of December 2025. It’ll also be a progressive design build, meaning the developer will be giving council updates as the project proceeds. “You’re on a highway, and at any point in time, you can take the off ramp and say ‘I don’t want to do this anymore...’, until we actually put the shovel in the group. We still have the ability to off ramp at any time. It’s just making sure that I fully understand that we’re not going to get too far into this, that people say ‘I’m too afraid and I don’t want to do it anymore because another community has done that where they spent about $30-million and said, ‘it’s too much, we don’t want to do it anymore,” said Councillor Tanya Vrebosch. The city says the project will maintain the current level of recreation services within a more modernized setting, while also providing an additional ice pad to augment the existing inventory. “This new facility will not only enhance recreational opportunities but will also set a new standard for sustainability,” said Councillor Justine Mallah. The project has secured approval for $25.78 million under the Government of Canada’s Green and Inclusive Buildings program and will strive to meet the zero carbon building design standard. ____________________________________________ https://northernontario.ctvnews.ca/north-bay-city-council-chooses-developer-for-new-arena-1.6878154 North Bay city council chooses developer for new arena City councillors in North Bay have given the Ellis Don Corporation the ‘go-ahead’ to build the multi-million dollar arena and recreation centre project.
