a building brief on the Providence Care Hospital

HOSPITAL

Exciting News!Three Companies Selected to Bid on the new hospital! On Friday, August 31st, Providence Care achieved the most significant milestone in our redevelopment project so far. Together with Infrastructure Ontario, Providence Care was pleased to announce the three companies short-listed to submit proposals to design, build, finance and maintain our new Providence Care Hospital.

Based on a request for qualifications process that began in March 2012 and following evaluations, three top ranking companies were short-listed and will be invited to respond to a request for proposals, expected to be issued late fall. The short-listed companies are:

Integrated Team Solutions• Developer: EllisDon Inc.• Design: Parkin Architects / Adamson Architects Associates• Construction: EllisDon Corporation• Facilities management: Johnson Controls• Financial Advisor: Scotiabank

Plenary Health • Developer: Plenary Group• Design: Cannon Design• Construction: PCL Contractors Canada Inc.• Facilities management: Honeywell• Financial Advisor: RBC Capital Markets

Providence Alliance for Caring Environments • Developer: Carillion Canada Inc.• Design: IBI Group Limited• Construction: Carillion Construction Inc. / M. Sullivan & Son Ltd.• Facilities management: Carillion Canada Inc.• Financial Advisor: CIBC Capital Markets

Infrastructure Ontario worked closely with Providence Care to select the qualified teams. Companies were selected based on their development, design, construction, financial, and facilities management capacity to undertake a project of this size and complexity. These companies are some of the finest design, construction and financing organizations in Canada. They will now move to the Request For Proposal (RFP) stage, expected to be issued late fall. This RFP process will narrow the three companies down to the one proponent that will build our hospital.

The Providence Care Hospital redevelopment planning team would like to extend a big thank you to all of you that have been involved and supported the project thus far. We would also like to thank Infrastructure Ontario and the many consultants who worked with us in this project, including Agnew Peckham and HOK Architects, our Planning Design and Compliance (PDC) team. An achievement like this one would not have been possible without all of your dedication, commitment and expertise. Everyone has worked extremely hard to help us arrive at this milestone announcement.

Please stay tuned for more updates as we enter this very exciting phase of our redevelopment project.

Next Steps...Room Data Sheet and Room Template ReviewThe next step in our process to complete the PSOS information is a review of the Room Data Sheets (RDS) and Room Templates. HOK is preparing RDS and Room Templates for each room in the facility which will include detailed information on everything in the room including finishes, floor materials, electrical, IT, equipment and furniture, and environmental conditions. These sheets and accompanying templates are populated based on the information and discussions from our two rounds of furniture and equipment user group meetings. They also include details on standards to meet code requirements and our Information Communication and Automated Technology (ICAT) plan.

Over the next few weeks User Group Leads will be meeting with their areas to review the materials and mark changes. Following their review, the PCH Planning Team will host a brief meeting for each representative to bring the consolidated feedback forward.

The planning team will submit the changes to the RDS and Room Templates to HOK by September 21st. HOK will return the RDS and Room Templates to us for final review the week of October 1st. This final review of the RDS and Room Templates in early October will complete our User Group input for the PSOS portion of redevelopment planning.
