Shortlisted companies to bid on St. Thomas Elgin hospital project

Infrastructure Ontario and St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital have released a request for proposals to companies shortlisted to build and finance the hospital’s emergency, ambulatory and mental health redevelopment project.

A request for qualifications process that began in August 2014 shortlisted four companies with the required construction capability, experience and financial capacity to undertake a project of this size and complexity.

The companies invited to bid are:

•  Bondfield Construction Company Limited,
• Elite Construction Inc.,
•  EllisDon Corporation 
•  Pomerleau Inc.

 The project will result in a three-storey addition, which will be constructed on the northwest side of the current hospital building. The new addition will be approximately 106,000 sq-ft and include the redevelopment of the:

• emergency department
• surgical suite
• sterile processing department
• acute mental health unit with 15 inpatient beds and ambulatory services
• ambulance garage

Once submissions to the request for proposals are received and evaluated, the successful project team is expected to be selected and announced in fall 2015. Construction is expected to begin shortly after.
