The City of Ottawa is preparing to start the two-phase procurement process for the professional design services for the new Ottawa Central Library.
The Notice of Planned Procurement, now posted on Merx, provides interested parties ample time to assemble teams, partnerships and resources to compete – which starts with the request for qualification (RFQ) in the second quarter of 2017.
The evaluation and a call for request for proposals (RFP) to the short list of qualifiers will follow in the third quarter, with the successful team being selected by the end of 2017. In their proposals, the design service providers will not submit actual designs for the building.
Resident feedback will play an important role in 2018, when the Ottawa Public Library and the successful architectural design team will actively engage the public on the design. As a result, submissions will be evaluated, as part of the procurement process, on the quality and strength of their proposed public consultation process.
The ideal design team will have a proven track record in architectural design excellence with a library or archives project of a similar size, scope and complexity, or with possible relevant experience in other buildings of national, provincial, institutional or civic importance – including cultural institutions, performing arts centres or museums.
In addition, the ideal team should also have the ability and capacity to deliver the following services:
The $168-million Ottawa Central Library facility (excluding the parking garage) is recommended to be built in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada, pending funding and City Council and Government of Canada approval.
Quotes
“The new Central Library will continue Ottawa’s transformation into a vibrant, world-class city. As a creative placemaker in our Nation’s Capital, the design must reflect excellence worthy of a G7 capital city. We expect the procurement process will draw architectural talent from across the region, the nation and around the globe.”
Mayor Jim Watson, City of Ottawa
“The start of the procurement process for the architectural design services is our next milestone in making the new Ottawa Central Library a reality. As we have seen in our city, library services continue to be important to our residents. In 2015 and 2016, they told us what they would like to see in a new facility. We know our residents will remain engaged in 2018, giving their valued feedback in the design of how the facility will look.”
Councillor Tim Tierney, Chair of the Ottawa Public Library Board
