This Request for Proposals is an invitation by the Owner, District of Squamish, to prospective proponents to submit proposals for Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Services for the Tantalus Fire Hall. The Owner is looking to assemble a highly collaborative team using the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model. Proponents are strongly encouraged to ensure they fully understand the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Model before responding to this proposal. This is not a traditional contract or agreement and is different from other procurement approaches.

The project is located at 404329 Tantalus Road in Squamish, British Columbia, V0N 3G0. 

The current site houses an existing firehall, parking and a BC Hydro Statutory Right of Way that backs onto Highway 99. The locale is predominantly residential with some retail mixed use.

This project is to replace the existing firehall with an essential composite firehall to serve the north side of Squamish. This firehall will act as a secondary emergency service centre to support Firehall #1 currently under construction in South end of Squamish. The project includes the demolition of the existing Tantalus Firehall, which has reached the end of its economic and functional lifespan, as well as moving the temporary firehall currently being used during the construction of Fire Hall 1 to the Tantalus site. The IPD team is also currently reviewing the possibility of building affordable housing above the new Fire Hall as either an addition to the current project or as a possible future expansion.

It is important to understand the District of Squamish is considered a climate emergency, the Owner is looking for the new facility to be sustainable and achieve a Net Zero Energy [NZE] status. The Owner will require a building that is carbon neutral and/or passive built.

For more details on the status of this project please refer to Appendix C: Project Documents to Date.
