The Region of Peel is seeking to retain a qualified Construction Manager (CM) to provide Construction Management and Construction services for the design and construction for the redevelopment of the existing Wilkinson Shelter located at 15 Wilkinson Road, Brampton, Ontario. The existing Wilkinson Shelter is an emergency shelter for homeless adult men with approximately 86 beds. The shelter building is 1-storey, approximately 1,000 sq m (10,800 sq ft) situated on a site with an approximate area of 0.60 hectares (1.49 acres).  

The new shelter building for homeless adult men will be a 3-storey building, approximately 5,350 sq m (57,600 sq ft) located on the existing site and will accommodate 150 beds plus provision for overflow. The new building will be slab-on-grade construction with a mass timber modular Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and glulam structural system and wall panel system, constructed in 3 phases to mitigate impact to Region of Peel Public Works and Police operations while enabling operational use of the existing shelter:

• Phase 1 Construction - Construct the south wing, requiring temporary use of existing police parking at the south end of the site for construction staging. Provide temporary site works for relocation of Police parking to an adjacent Public Works yard.  Once phase 1 is built, staff and clients will move into the new south wing.  Restore and return temporary staging area at south of the site to Police and Public Works and remove associated temporary works.
• Phase 2 Construction – To start immediately after completion of Phase 1.  Move all construction staging and activity to the Wilkinson site.  Demolish and remove the existing Wilkinson Shelter. Construct the north wing and link between north and south wings for use by staff and clients.
• Phase 3 Construction – Once Phase 2 is available for use, complete ground floor renovations to achieve final built. Complete remaining site works including paving, landscaping, other necessary works to achieve successful project completion.

The facility will be designed and constructed in accordance with the Region of Peel’s Net Zero Emissions Building Standards, adhering to the requirements of the latest version of CaGBC’s Zero Carbon Building Design Standard. 

The CM must have demonstrated reputable experience in constructing multi-unit residential buildings, land development and operating as a CM under the CCDC 5B contract for projects similar in scope, complexity, and size and in leading complex and multi-residential developments as described in the Document.
