Fume hood ductwork replacement and related construction for Innovation Saskatchewan

Innovation Saskatchewan is seeking a general contractor to replace fume hood exhaust ductwork and related building components at its occupied Saskatoon facility. - Government buyer: Innovation Saskatchewan, Government of Saskatchewan; no sub-agency or office is specified. Work is at Suite 301, 111 Research Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. - Main work: Replace failed galvanized fume hood ductwork with welded, minimum 18-gauge 316L stainless steel ductwork. Requirements include smooth interiors, airtight and watertight construction, and no internal mechanical fasteners; indicated duct sizes include 200 mm and 250 mm. - Equipment and materials: Replace three exhaust VAV valves (AV-395, AV-389, and AV-381); replace designated ceiling areas with Armstrong 1738 “Fine Fissured” tile and a matching grid. The roof exhaust fan replacement (EF-1) and additional ceiling work are optional separate-price items. - OEMs and manufacturers: Price Industries is the basis-of-design manufacturer for the exhaust VAV valves. Armstrong is specified for ceiling tile. Loren Cook is specified for the optional fan, with Acme, Aerovent, and Greenheck identified as comparable fan manufacturers. - Services and coordination: Include demolition, temporary work, duct installation and tie-ins, labour, materials, supervision, testing and commissioning support, ceiling work, and building-controls modifications. Retain the existing controls contractor to update controls, graphics, points, and the affected fume hood exhaust sequence. - Site and sourcing requirements: The building remains occupied, so work must be phased and coordinated with the tenant while maintaining building services. Canadian and other non-U.S. sourcing is encouraged, and proponents are asked to make efforts to avoid U.S.-sourced or U.S.-manufactured goods and services. - Performance: Work is to begin immediately after award and be completed by the tender’s stated deadline. The documents also contain a conflicting substantial-performance milestone; no duration or option years are identified.
