The BC government is building a new collections and research building in Colwood.
The Province has selected three bidding teams to participate in the next step of the selection process for design and construction of the building, which will house the Royal BC Museum’s collections and research department, and the BC Archives.
This state-of-the-art facility is anticipated to create about 950 good-paying jobs.
It will provide dedicated research labs and learning spaces, and improve access to the museum’s vast collections.
Government expects to break ground in summer 2022 and complete the project in 2025.
The three teams invited to participate in the request for proposals (RFP) are:
Kinetic Construction Ltd. Smith Bros. & Wilson (B.C.) Ltd. and Wright Holdings Inc., Ledcor Design-Build (B.C.) Inc. and Knappett Projects Inc. and Maple Reinders Constructors Ltd.
The RFP is the second stage of the procurement process to select a design-build team. Only proponents who were shortlisted during the first stage, the request for qualifications (RFQ) process, are invited to participate in the RFP process.
