MUHC Executive Summary 2008-10-15 |
The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and the Government of Quebec today announced that a Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued to the two international consortia bidding to design, build, finance and maintain the MUHC’s new facilities at the Glen Campus. Based on the information provided in the RFP, the consortia will prepare detailed proposals, based on which one consortium will be selected as the private sector partner for the Glen Campus.
“This RFP milestone is the beginning of a structured process with the private sector that will lead us to construction,” noted the Honourable Dr. Arthur T. Porter, MUHC Director General and Chief Executive Officer. “The consortia have everything in hand to meet our expectations: inspired architecture; effective clinical, research and teaching space; a healing environment; environmental stewardship; and harmonious urban integration. Moreover, our Mountain Campus and the Lachine Hospital will also exemplify these standards of excellence. What a wonderful day for our patients and their families, our staff, and our supporters whose generosity is invaluable to our redevelopment!”
The two bidding consortia, Groupe immobilier santé McGill and Partenariat CUSM, were selected as the result of a qualifications process that was completed in October 2007. Following the RFP, each consortium will have 44 weeks to prepare their bids. The MUHC, along with its partners in government, will then evaluate the proposals and select the winning consortium.
In tandem with this process, work will continue on the construction and renovation of the Mountain Campus, which is being conducted as a conventional construction project.
The MUHC’s Glen Campus will be home to the new Montreal Children’s Hospital of the MUHC, along with new facilities for the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal Chest Institute and the Research Institute of the MUHC. It is also expected that the Shriner’s will build their new hospital adjacent to the Children’s on the site.
