Shortlist for BC law courts P3

British Columbia is building new law courts in Abbotsford to keep pace with growth in the lower Fraser Valley, one of B.C.’s fastest-growing regions.

Three proponent teams have been shortlisted for the 30-year contract, which is estimated to create over 1,000 jobs during the course of construction.

    • Concert Infrastructure Ltd.
    • Brookfield Financial Securities LP
    • Bird Capital Limited Partnership
    • Bird Design-Build Construction Inc.

Once built, the law courts are expected to double the capacity of the current courthouse, with opportunity to expand further. The new 14-room law courts will include three Supreme Court law courts, eight provincial court courtrooms and three judicial conference rooms. The facility plans also incorporate justice-sector programs, such as the BC Prosecution Service, community corrections, and a Justice Access Centre, as well as a parkade to supplement parking requirements for the City of Abbotsford.

The new law courts will be constructed within the city centre civic precinct, on land leased to the Province by the City of Abbotsford, and will be open and operating in 2021.

The CAD150-million (US$120 million) project will be procured as Design-Build-Finance-Maintain, or a Public-Private Partnership (P3), with the procurement process managed by Partnerships BC.

A preferred-proponent announcement is expected in March 2018 and financial close is slated for May of the same year.
