Infrastructure Ontario has announced that five prequalified companies have been invited to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP) to build and finance the Orléans Health Hub, a new healthcare facility in Orléans, a suburb to the east of Ottawa, which will bring together several health and community service partner organizations to provide a variety of services to residents.

The five companies (Amico Affiliates, Buttcon Limited, EllisDon Corporation Inc., PCL Constructors Canada Inc., Pomerleau Inc.) were selected based on criteria including construction capability, experience, qualified personnel and financial capacity to deliver a project of this size and scope.

The proponents will now begin preparing proposals that detail how they will deliver the project. Once submissions are received, Infrastructure Ontario and Hôpital Montfort will evaluate the proposals, select a preferred bidder and then negotiate a final contract. A successful bidder is expected to be announced in summer 2019.
