City Hall Lower Level Renovation

The City of Burlington has issued Request for Tender ES-26-44 for the renovation of the City Hall Lower Level office administration areas. The project scope includes millwork, roofing materials, painting, and wall panels, with all work adhering to the CCDC 2-2008 Stipulated Price Contract and 2026 City of Burlington Standard Specifications. Construction is scheduled to begin on October 19, 2026, with substantial performance expected by April 2, 2027. Bidders were required to attend a mandatory site visit on September 11, 2026, and must submit electronic bids by the extended deadline of September 25, 2026. Compliance is heavily weighted on domestic content and financial security. Bidders must provide a Domestic Supply Chain Plan certifying that at least 12 percent of the bid value consists of Ontario or Canadian-made goods and services, with a disqualification threshold for those falling below 51 percent. Financial requirements include a digital bid bond of no less than 5 percent of the total contract value, and successful contractors must provide performance and labour and material payment bonds for 50 percent of the contract price. The project also mandates strict adherence to the Ontario Building Code and Construction Safety Act, with specific requirements for the disposal of hazardous materials such as mercury and asbestos-containing fireproofing.
