BRAMPTON, ONT.—Two prequalified teams, Pomerleau Inc. and Brampton Courthouse Contractors, are being invited to respond to a request for proposals (RFP) to design, build and finance the renovation of the existing courthouse on Finch Avenue West in Toronto to accommodate a new Toronto Region bail centre and complete Phase 2 of the addition to the A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse in Brampton, Ont.
The announcement was made by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and the Ministry of the Attorney General (MAG) Aug. 17.
The two teams were selected based on criteria identified in a request for qualifications process that began in January, which included design and construction, as well as the financial capacity to deliver a project of this size and scope.
Teams are expected to begin preparing proposals that detail how they will deliver the project. Once submissions are received, IO and MAG will evaluate the proposals, select a preferred bidder and then negotiate a final contract, states an IO release, adding a successful bidder is expected to be announced in spring 2021. A fairness monitor is overseeing the entire procurement process.
Phase 1 of the Brampton Courthouse Addition, which is currently under construction and almost complete, involves the construction of a six-floor addition and fit-out of the basement and the first and second floors.
Phase 2 of the project involves the fit-out of the remaining shelled floors of the addition (three to six), as well as the partial renovation of the existing courthouse and adjacent Land Registry building, states IO’s website.
The Toronto Region bail centre project involves the renovation and modification of the existing, leased courthouse building to accommodate all adult bail operations once the new Toronto courthouse opens in 2022. Renovation and retrofit of some spaces include the administration space, the addition of in-custody interview cubicles and other minor modifications to support the new bail centre and provide digital connectivity to other locations, adds the website.
