Site work for an educational facility in Burnaby, British Columbia. Completed plans call for site work for a educational facility.
Simon Fraser University (SFU) seeks an experienced and qualified manufacturer to build and supply eight-to-ten (8 to 10) small, relocatable dwelling units (“research pods”) to be emplaced in the first instance on a prepared site on remote Nootka Island (off Northwestern Vancouver Island). Six-to-eight (6-8) of these research pods will provide 1-to-2-person sleeping quarters; one (1) will accommodate washroom facilities; and one (1) will accommodate kitchen facilities. Each unit must be capable of being powered and heated in an off-grid environment (i.e. designed to accept and utilize external energy inputs). The research pods and their fixtures and fittings will be built for longevity and ease of maintenance. Proponents must ensure compliance with all Mandatory Requirements outlined below. Proposals that do not meet these requirements will not be considered for evaluation. Mandatory Requirements/Specifications: Minimum size 80 square feet. Capable of being relocated as and when needed (lifted off pad onto transport). Capable of being heated to a comfortable room temperature year-round; insulation at minimum R-16 resistance rating for insulation in the walls, R-22 in ceilings/floors. Hardened against and operating reliably in harsh winter conditions (e.g. estimated 400mm precipitation a month in winter; 30-40 knot winds; overnight temperatures consistently below freezing). As the initial location is very close to the ocean, resistance to saltwater corrosion is necessary. Appropriate ventilation, including to manage extended periods without use/occupancy; the bathroom and kitchen units should have heat-recovery mechanical ventilation meeting or exceeding air exchange standards for coastal northern BC. All units ready and capable to be powered by on-site energy source. Kitchen and bathroom units ready to receive water from on-site source and distribute it to plumbing fixtures/appliances. Operational toilet in bathroom unit. Each unit to provide installed light fixtures, highly durable and easy-to-clean flooring and wall finish, lights, switches, sockets/power outlets, door handles, and in each bedroom unit, a finished window. Fully resistant to intrusion or damage by bears or other large animals. Delivered to a location on Vancouver Island where they can be loaded onto trucks in finished condition by end August 2027. Preferred Requirements Larger than minimum required size is preferred, e.g. 96-120 square feet. Higher-than-minimum insulation R-values are preferred. Delivered to a location on Vancouver Island where they can be loaded onto trucks in finished condition by end May 2027. Official bid documents must be obtained from www.merx.com and bid submissions must be done through the Merx platform. Question Deadline 04/01/2026 at 11:59 PM PT
