Background Information: Kingston Community Health Centres Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC) is a not for profit charitable organization where all program areas/sites share a common philosophical premise and mission statement. We care for individuals and families, respond to their neighbourhood concerns to improve their health and to build healthy communities. KCHC work at the systems level, working with the community on communitybased initiatives and advisory groups to create a healthier and more vibrant community. KCHC opened in 1988. KCHC is accredited and is a member of the Association of Ontario Health Centres. Our 2014-15 budget is approximately $15 million, and we employ over 160 staff across 7 sites. Street Heath Centre, a satellite of KCHC, began as a needle exchange program in 1992 SHC is a 365 days a year harm reduction health centre. We specialize in providing accessible, responsive, health services to communities that are marginalized from mainstream healthcare services. The lease for our current space expires October 2015. Approval was given earlier this month to proceed with the capital plan (available on request) on a new site. The project is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care Capital Branch. An offer to purchase has been made on property in downtown Kingston. A Class C Estimate and Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental assessment has been completed. Next steps include hiring a Project Manager, completing Phase 1 and 2 for Ministry approval, and the design and renovation of the new centre on the down town site. For more information, please visit our website, www.kchc.ca. Please note that KCHC is moving May 9, 2014. Our new address will be 263 Weller Ave., Kingston, K7K 2V4. REQUEST Kingston Community Health Centres is inviting proposals from experienced capital project managers to work with the Facilities Committee and Board to build a new satellite health centre in downtown Kingston. The required completion date is September 2015, with a total cost of approximately $3 million for the 2
12,000 square foot facility. It is acknowledged that the time line is aggressive but obtainable. SCOPE OF WORK The Project Manager will act as KCHC s advisor and agent, providing site management, scheduling, administrative, financial and technical services. The project manager will be the lead consultant. It is not intended to combine the role of the project manager, the architect and the construction manager; however it will be crucial that all three parties work collaboratively and cooperatively together. The Project Manager would work closely with the KCHC Facilities Committee, to ensure that the SHC is built in accordance with all Ministry of Health Capital Branch specifications and KCHC requirements. While the Board of KCHC maintains control over major decisions, the manager would be the designated lead with the Capital Branch, and would be the link between KCHC and the project. Details may be found in Appendix A. Additional related work may be required from time to time, which the Centre would view as a separate engagement. It is expected that the scope of such engagements can be defined separately. For the purposes of additional related work, proponents are expected to provide a summary of hourly billing rates in range format based on level and skill of assigned resources. Generally this may be reflected by junior to senior categories.
