Renovation of an educational facility in Oshawa, Ontario. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology ("the Institution"), in collaboration with the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, is seeking an organization to supply, install, and maintain new athletics strength (resistance) equipment to replace the aging equipment currently being used in the fitness facility (the Flex) General Equipment Specifications Range of Motion - These units should feature either hydraulically assisted pre-stretch foot levers or pull-pin adjustments that enable users to choose desired range of motion where applicable. Rubber Bumpers - Heavy-duty rubber bumpers are used in multiple contact areas to reduce noise and stress to framework and components. Bumpers vary from 1" to 3" in thickness, depending upon application. Rubber Footplates - Rugged anti-skid rubber footplates provide users with superior grip on all lower body units and as footrests in several other applications. Premium grade compound significantly outlasts grip tape and like materials while offering better adhesion than diamond plating. Safety Labelling - All units feature appropriate preventative safety labelling in clear text accompanied with images where necessary to further clarify safe use of units. QR codes on strength equipment for instructional video links favorable. Structural Frame - MIG welded preferably 7, 9 or 11-gauge bent steel tubing (where applicable) with minimum number of bolted joints required for installation. Raised frame design facilitates cleaning in and around units, and protective foot covers (prevents rust stains & scratching) are standard so that no metal surface meets flooring. Steel round components such as handlebars, pull pins, and other high stress areas are constructed of cold-rolled steel. Upholstery - Heavy, commercial grade upholstery with protective finish. Upholstery is double stitched to avoid folding upholstery to finish corners (reduces life of pad) and for aesthetic appeal.
