Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada is seeking proposals from design-build teams to design and construct new Basic Military Qualifications facilities at CFB Borden, Ontario, using a modified design-build approach. The opportunity is estimated at approximately $150 million, making it a major project that appears most relevant to large general contractors, integrated design-build firms, and specialized architectural, engineering, construction, and trade partners. The notice lists extensive design resources, including architects, sustainable-design specialists, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil/municipal engineers, technologists, technicians, draftspersons, and project management personnel. Businesses that do not lead a full design-build team may potentially be relevant as subcontractors or specialist consultants, depending on the RFP requirements. The closing date was amended from September 21, 2026 to October 6, 2026. The closing time remains 2:00 p.m., but bidders should confirm the applicable time zone and exact deadline in MERX. Proposals must be submitted electronically through MERX. The successful contractor will be required to hold a valid Designated Organization Screening (DOS) issued through PSPC’s Contract Security Program. The project is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, CETA, and WTO Government Procurement Agreement. Questions must be sent only to the point of contact identified in the notice; contacting others could create a disqualification risk. The listing identifies Ottawa, Ontario, while the project title and description refer to CFB Borden. Confirm the actual work location and all mandatory requirements in the official RFP. Review the complete MERX notice, including Amendment No. 1, security requirements, submission instructions, team qualifications, insurance, bonding, experience, and any limits on subcontracting before deciding whether to pursue the opportunity.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4042480211/abstract?language=EN.
