Reference number : 1705008 Deadline for receipt of complaints: 2023-04-11 Submission sent electronically accepted: Yes, in a single submission document The University of Montreal is issuing a call for tenders for services based on the "quality" award method with the aim of retaining the services of a professional in mechanical and electrical building engineering for work aimed at expanding the Science complex, located on the MIL Campus in Outremont. This project affects the following building: Science Complex, 1375 Thérèse Lavoie-Roux Avenue - Montreal, QC - H2V 0B3 The Project consists of the construction of two buildings adjacent to the Science Complex - Phase I, totaling approximately 31,000 m 2 . The definition of needs and the evaluation of sources of financing made it possible to estimate a project budget of $386 million. Insofar as the Project is subject to the requirements of the Directive on the management of major public infrastructure projects , the Project is carried out taking into account the approval stages provided for therein, i.e. the Opportunity File (here - after the "DO") and the Business File (hereinafter the "DA"). The Directive on the Management of Major Public Infrastructure Projects is available at the following address: https://www.tresor.gouv.qc.ca/fileadmin/PDF/infrastructures_publiques/directive_gestion_projets_majeurs.pdf . The preliminary project stage was completed in July 2019 following the authorization of the Council of Ministers . The start-up stage which should conclude with the authorization of the Opportunity File is currently in progress. In February 2022, a major donation from the Courtois foundation made it possible to significantly modify the parameters of the Project. The professional in mechanical and electrical building engineeringcurrently involved in the start-up stage of the Project is the BPA / PMA / SNC Consortium. This firm was selected in 2020 by the University following a public call for tenders. However, following the significant change in the parameters of the Project, the University decided to return to a call for tenders for the project management firm and for the professionals who will carry out the subsequent stages of the Project. The University's intention at this stage is to submit the Opportunity File, with the assistance of the SQI, the Ministry of Higher Education and the Treasury Board Secretariat, for approval by the Council of ministers, in the second quarter of 2023, all subject to comments and requests that the SQI, the Ministry of Higher Education and the Treasury Board Secretariat may make regarding the Opportunity File submitted. A transition period is to be expected between the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Professional of the current building and the successful bidder of this call for tenders until, at the very least, the approval of the Opportunity File. As of the date of this call for tenders, the University hopes to receive the Council of Ministers' decision on the Opportunity File during the second quarter of 2023. In the meantime, the University requires the project manager, the successful bidder of this call for tenders and other professionals that they begin their provision of services related to the concept phase of the Project, said phase not having been started to date. In the event that the Council of Ministers refuses to approve the Opportunity File and to authorize the Business File, the University must terminate the contract. Consequently, the winner of this call for tenders will have to render services in anticipation of the authorization of the Opportunity File, as soon as the Contract is awarded. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
