Bridgeview Childcare Design Services

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Design Vision:

Stakeholders’ project vision is to transform the existing Bridgeview Community Centre into a dedicated childcare facility for ages 0-5. The gymnasium and associated rooms are to remain as existing (restrooms, storages, kitchen, etc.). This will provide a flexible facility to serve both the specific childcare needs of childcare operator and the general booking needs of the City at large.

The City wishes to design and build a fully functional facility that adequately accommodates user programs and meets budget targets. The design must integrate with existing operations to accommodate City programs, community rentals of the facility’s gymnasium and adjacent rooms, address the need for a childcare facility, and address user and operator needs for new indigenous childcare programs.

Background:

Bridgeview Community Centre at 11475 126A St. is a 973 m2 civic facility within Bridgeview Park, constructed in 1979 and renovated in 2013.

A Feasibility and Concept Design study was commissioned and completed in 2022 with Office for Architecture (O4A) as the consultant. The intent of this RFP is to confirm the functional program and verify concept design provisions as the Schematic Design in order to quickly advance onto Design Development.

Scope of Work

The Consultant will, with stakeholders’ input, update the 2022 Concept Design, refining program and layout as needed to finalize an abbreviated Schematic Design complete with costing, then further execute the design, budget and detailed drawings and specifications required for this Facility improvement.

Refer to the Schematic Design / Bridgeview Daycare Feasibility, dated August 24, 2022, prepared by O4A Architecture.

The goals of the project are divided into stages.

Stage 1:
Refine programming and concept documents into a comprehensive Schematic Design package, together with a cost estimate to confirm Project budget.

Stage 2:
a. complete design development and contract documentation;
b. required permit and for tender and construction contract: and
c. complete balance of professional services for construction contract administration, closeout, and warranty.
