TORONTO, June 15, 2016 /CNW/ - Four companies are invited to compete for the contract to build and finance Sinai Health System's redevelopment project at Mount Sinai Hospital.
An open, competitive request for qualifications process, overseen by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Sinai Health System, began in August 2015. This process identified four teams with the construction and financial capacity to deliver a project of this size and scope. The prequalified teams invited to bid are Bondfield Construction Company Ltd., EllisDon Capital Inc., PCL Constructors Canada Inc., and Walsh Canada.
The project is a large-scale renovation of several key areas of Mount Sinai Hospital, including:
- redevelopment of the Critical Care Unit
- expansion and redesign of the Emergency Department, Operating Rooms and Surgical Services
- increased Medical/Surgery Inpatient capacity
- redesign of some of the Ambulatory Care areas
- redevelopment of a full-service, in-house Medical Devices Reprocessing Department
Once the RFP submissions are received, IO and Sinai Health System will evaluate them and select the successful bidder. The winning bidder is expected to be announced in spring 2017, with construction scheduled to follow shortly thereafter.
This project is being delivered using Infrastructure Ontario's Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) model, an innovative way of financing and procuring large, complex public infrastructure projects. IO and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with Sinai Health System to renovate the facility, which will remain publicly owned, controlled and accountable.
