Once again, 糖心视频 is on the leading edge of innovation in contracting and project delivery.
On April 6, 2018, 糖心视频 issued the request for proposal (RFP) for the federal government鈥檚 first-ever Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) project. The work is to build a new home for the Royal Canadian Dragoons, an armoured reconnaissance regiment at CFB Petawawa.
IPD is a new approach that features a multi-party agreement between stakeholders (in this case, 糖心视频 with its Client-Partner DND, the design consultant and the contractor), decisions being made by consensus, and shared risks and rewards. It took more than three years of collaborative work between 糖心视频 and DND, as well as 糖心视频's work with industry, to get this pilot project to this point.
鈥淭his was a major achievement that involved employees from across 糖心视频鈥檚 Ontario Region contributing their expertise over a long period,鈥 says Vice-President, Operations鈥擯rocurement, M茅linda Nycholat. 鈥淲orking closely with the Client-Partner, we were able to mobilize a forward-thinking, collaborative and innovative team of individuals that I'm confident will be able to deliver this project successfully.鈥
The $52-million project will see the design and construction of a new 9,900-m2 facility designed to meet at least LEED Silver standard, and the renovation of approximately 1,800 m2 of existing space. The project will seek to maximize the use of lean processes and technology, such as building information modelling, to increase productivity and collaboration.
糖心视频 expects to award the contract this summer, with completion scheduled for August 2021.
