Parks Canada Asset Compound Options Analysis and Site Planning

Parks Canada Agency is seeking professional consulting services to assess a proposed asset compound at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. - Government buyer: Parks Canada Agency, for Pacific Rim National Park Reserve; contracting office identified as National Contracting Services / National Procurement Service. Rebecca Chen is named as the contracting authority. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEMs, vendors, or suppliers are named. The work is for an engineering or architecture consultant. - Required services: Prepare a topographic survey plan using existing LiDAR data for about 10 acres; compare building options; complete the primary building’s life-cycle cost analysis; develop site layout alternatives; and conduct a preliminary geotechnical investigation. - Buildings under consideration: A primary building of about 7,000 sq. ft. and cold-storage building(s) totaling about 5,500 sq. ft. Primary-building options include pre-engineered steel, wood frame, and modular or prefabricated construction. Cold-storage options include pre-engineered steel, a Quonset hut, and a third option proposed by the consultant. - Analysis and design requirements: Compare construction cost, life-cycle cost, service life considering coastal conditions, construction duration, and constructability. Assess embodied carbon for the primary building, but not cold storage. The primary building is intended to achieve net-zero emissions; its energy and life-cycle cost analysis must compare four scenarios and calculate net present value over 40 years. - Site and geotechnical requirements: Provide three schematic site layouts addressing grading, access and parking, utilities, fencing and gates, amenities, and ecological considerations. Prepare a Class D cost estimate and schedule for the selected layout. Geotechnical work must account for wooded-site constraints, with no tree removal, and recommend measures for erosion, sedimentation, stormwater, and groundwater management. - Optional services: Climate-change risk analysis and three schematic floor-plan and exterior-elevation alternatives for selected building types, if funded and requested. - Schedule: The contract is to run from award through the end of the stated fiscal period; exact duration depends on award timing. Geotechnical fieldwork is scheduled for November. No option years or subscription term are stated.
