Who is the Design-Build team?

Each of the key firms on the team has the depth, skills, and experience needed and a proven track record of successfully delivering design-build projects.
Background on the Tendering Process
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued in December where the City pre-qualified potential proponents. There were eight submissions under this process. In January 2023 Council confirmed the three companies below as the three proponents who would be eligible to bid on the Design-Bid contract. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was developed with the Executive Committee, BCC and Colliers and was issued by Colliers on January 26, 2023, to the three (3) pre-qualified proponents who were advanced from the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process which were:
- Bird Construction,
- Quorex Construction Services Ltd., and
- Wright Construction Western Inc.
The RFP closed on April 6, 2023, and was followed by in-person Proponent Presentations & Interview on April 13, 2023, which was attended by members of Council, the project Advisory Committee (AC), the Executive Committee (EC), and the Project Team (Colliers and SEPW).
Council, members of the Advisory Committee and Executive Committee were provided the full Proposals from all three Proponents for their review and consideration. These proposals were reviewed against the mandatory requirements in the published tender.
The determination was that Quorex was the only Proponent who not only fully understood the assignment of providing a proposal that gave us the best value for our dollar and took our comments and feedback from the interviews performed in February to heart, but also provided a solution that fit our budget as required, as well as provided additional value added and innovative options for our consideration. They were also the only proposal that was compliant with the mandatory requirements laid out in the tender that was posted. By awarding to Quorex, we have achieved the best possible result from this RFP process.
