Renovation of an office development in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a 0-square-foot, 0-story below grade office development.

* No Award. This project involves the complete renewal of the chilled-water cooling infrastructure at 291 York Avenue to restore reliable, energy-efficient, year-round cooling and heating capacity for the facility. The work includes the removal of the existing failed water-cooled chiller, obsolete cooling tower, and fluid cooler, followed by the supply and installation of a new chilled-water plant, including a new cooling tower, pumps, heat exchangers, piping modifications, and upgraded DDC controls. The project also includes conversion of the building's air-handling equipment from DX cooling to chilled-water coils and replacement of indirect gas-fired heating sections with new hot-water coils. All construction, tie-ins, and commissioning activities must be executed while maintaining continuous building operations and cooling. The Construction Manager (CM) will provide comprehensive pre-construction, construction, commissioning coordination, close-out, and post-construction services as described in Schedules A1 & A2, this RFP, and project-specific requirements. Responsibilities begin with a brief transition period to become fully familiar with the completed design, commissioning plan, project requirements, and execution strategy. Following this transition, the CM will assume full control of the construction site and retain responsibility until all work is completed, commissioned, accepted, and closed out. The CM's services include constructability reviews, cost planning, schedule development, logistical planning, and procurement strategy. The CM will manage all trade procurement activities, including pre-qualification, issuing bid packages, leading tendering processes, evaluating submissions, and making award recommendations. Upon approval, the CM will enter into and administer all trade contracts. Throughout construction, the CM will provide full site management, including health and safety oversight, quality control, coordination of all trade contractors, schedule management, reporting, and management of unforeseen conditions. The CM will collaborate with the Consultant during field reviews and implement corrective measures to maintain contract compliance. The CM will also support and coordinate the full commissioning process by designating a Commissioning Coordinator responsible for scheduling and executing commissioning activities in collaboration with the Consultant, the Commissioning Oversight Representative, and trade contractors. Commissioning responsibilities include managing equipment start-up, testing, functional verification, documentation, operator training, CMMS data collection, and seasonal commissioning requirements, ensuring full alignment with the Contract Documents and the Construction Schedule. At project close-out, the CM will coordinate deficiency resolution, final commissioning, system start-up documentation, O&M manual assembly, training sessions, and turnover packages, ensuring all requirements are met and all systems are performing as intended. During the post-construction period, the CM will support warranty inspections, seasonal commissioning follow-ups, and any corrective work required under warranty obligations. Official bid documents must be obtained from www.bgis.merx.com and bid submissions must be done through the Merx platform. Question Deadline 01/23/2026 at 2:00 PM CT
