Scope of Work

This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation by BC Housing Management Commission (“BC Housing”) and the Project Steering Committee (representatives from BC Housing, the City of Vancouver (‘COV”), the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre (“VAFCS”) and their development consultant M’akola Development Services (“M’akola”) to prospective proponents to submit proposals for the development of a social and market housing project in East Vancouver.

The selected Proponent’s primary role is to design and develop a building that meets the needs of the Project Steering Committee, stakeholders and the surrounding neighbourhood.

The current vision is that the redevelopment would include several components within the overall development with BC Housing as the Head Lessee. The components include the following:

1) Health Component;
2) Shelter and transitional housing component;
3) Social housing component;
4) Market rental housing component.

The development plan process for potential uses of the site may be to undertake a phased approach: (subject to approvals by the City of Vancouver in its role as land use regulator, the Project Steering Committee and funding to proceed).

Phase 1 - Exploring the site opportunities and constraints to prepare a number of different “conceptual” overall plan options which will be and tested in terms of viability by the Project Steering Committee.

Phase 2 - Consulting the community on the viable overall plan option(s) (prepared in the previous phase) to seek community feedback to refine the preferred overall plan. Phase 2 will also entail the preparation of an application for a development permit of the subject lands in preparation for redevelopment (following successful rezoning).

Phase 3 - Development Permit and Building Permit Application submission to the City of Vancouver and follow up through to approval.

Phase 4 – Perform value analysis or value engineering and revise design, scope, working drawings, specifications while assisting in providing feedback from sub-trades in preparation for tender pricing.

Phase 5 - Perform Construction Management.

The developer will lead and manage the planning process. It is expected that this planning process will balance the objectives of BC Housing, the City, VAFCS and the community while maximizing its social, economic, and environmental potential.
