Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This tender appears to be a major Canadian defence-related construction opportunity from Defence Construction Canada (DCC). It is an open request for proposals for design-builder services using a modified design-build approach to design and construct multi-unit residential housing for the Canadian Forces Housing Agency in Quebec. There appear to be three separate contracts tied to three locations: 3 Wing CFB Bagotville, Montreal (Saint-Hubert), and CFB Valcartier. The estimated project values are very large: about $105–$131 million for Bagotville, $88–$109 million for Montreal (Saint-Hubert), and $486–$608 million for Valcartier. The closing date shown is October 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM, but the notice should be verified on MERX and in the official tender documents because dates and details can change. The notice says proposals must be submitted through the MERX Electronic Bidding System, and questions must go only to the listed point of contact. It also references trade agreement rules (CFTA, CETA, WTO-GPA) and DCC’s prompt payment information for contractors. For a Canadian business owner, this appears relevant if your company works in large-scale residential construction, design-build delivery, architecture, engineering, or as part of a qualified prime/design-build team. However, you should verify the official notice and the RFP documents to confirm the exact requirements, scope, bid format, teaming expectations, and any security, licensing, or experience conditions before deciding whether to bid.
