WORK SUMMARY

The work herein includes, but is not limited to, the following:

The Centre de services scolaires des Samares (CSSS) wishes to mandate Architects and Engineers to carry out a project for the construction of a new primary school of fifteen (15) classrooms located in Notre-Dame-des-Prairies.

The project consists, in the first instance, of preparing conceptual and preliminary documents to determine the ideal location of the future school and to coordinate the final implementation of the school with the City of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies. The City wishes to partner with the CSSS to review the area of the future school and the surrounding recreational facilities. In this regard, the Professionals will work with the CSSS and the City to determine a functional program for the sector. Following the acceptance of the proposed development by both parties, the City will determine the next steps (outdoor development and park), the CSSS and the Professionals will focus on the construction of the new school. Since the City currently owns the land adjacent to the CSSS, the City is open to transfer a portion of their land and Jetté Street to the CSSS. This stage of the design process will also include a study by a traffic specialist to assess the impact of the new construction on traffic around the school and in the neighbourhood, this specialist will be mandated by the City.

In a second step, the Professionals will have to prepare tender documents such as plans and specifications and an estimate for the construction of the primary school including the development of the site in question. The Civil and Structural Engineering Professionals will also need to arrange for the services of a laboratory in order to conduct a geotechnical study and environmental characterization of the site.

The total cost of the construction project is estimated at approximately $16.3 million, including all taxes. Surveys conducted by the Professionals will help establish the scope of the work more precisely.

The Professionals who won the call for tenders for this project will have to begin their mandate following authorization from the CSSS. The goal is to allow the school to start back to school by August 2023.

The other criteria will be assessed by considering the evaluation of the original service offer submitted.
