Infrastructure Ontario and Trillium Health Partners have issued a request for qualifications to build and finance the Credit Valley Hospital Priority Areas Redevelopment Project.

The project includes renovations to approximately 154,000 square feet of existing hospital space.

Highlights include:

• the complete renovation and expansion of the emergency department
• a new six bay ambulance garage
• the renovation and expansion of the surgical and peri-operative department
• new and expanded facilities for the critical care unit
• renovations to the diagnostic imaging department

Submissions will be reviewed to pre-qualify project teams with the required construction capability, experience and financial capacity to undertake a project of this size and complexity. These teams will then be invited to respond to a request for proposals, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2013.

Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with Trillium Health Partners to redevelop the Credit Valley Hospital site, which will remain publicly owned, publicly controlled and publicly accountable.

Previously, Infrastructure Ontario worked with Credit Valley Hospital to deliver the Phase II Redevelopment project, which was completed on budget and ahead of schedule in March 2011.
