Construction Manager – Building Adaptation Project

The National Capital Commission is seeking qualified firms to provide Construction Management services for a Building Adaptation Project situated within a federally classified heritage complex in the National Capital Region. The contract begins with a Pre-Construction Phase focused on planning and design development, with the potential to extend into Early Works and Full Construction phases under a CCDC 5B contract. The project employs a multi-phased, multi-design-package approach to manage construction in a technically complex site, emphasizing risk mitigation, schedule optimization, and respect for the heritage context. Key elements include the demolition and replacement of Wing A with a new Zero Carbon-certified building, rehabilitation and recladding of Wing M1’s masonry, and upgrades to the building envelope, windows, and masonry. Additional scope involves exterior works such as removal of temporary structures, landscaping reinstatement and redesign, replacement of exterior stairs, and repair of a retaining wall. Throughout the Pre-Construction Phase, the Construction Manager will collaborate closely with the NCC Project Manager and Design Team to ensure the work is technically feasible, cost-effective, and properly scoped for future procurement phases. The overall objective is to modernize and adapt the heritage facilities while maintaining their historic integrity and accommodating phased construction delivery in a challenging federal environment. Responses to the solicitation are due by May 19, 2026, and further information is available through the NCC’s contracting authority.
