ESTABLISHMENT OF A GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR UNOCCUPIED UNIT TURN-OVER RENOVATIONS, REGION OF PEEL, ROSTER

The Region of Peel, through the Peel Housing Corporation, is establishing a roster of qualified General Contractors to perform unoccupied unit turn-over renovations. The scope of work includes providing all labor, materials, and equipment for renovations, specifically focusing on the removal and replacement of kitchen upper and lower cabinetry and countertops, as well as the relocation of electrical and plumbing fixtures such as thermostats, receptacles, and appliances. All work must comply with the Ontario Building Code, the Residential Tenancy Act, and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, with specific requirements for ADA-compliant range hoods and strict material safety standards for flammability and smoke spread. The selection process follows a staged evaluation based on a 100-point scale, consisting of a technical proposal worth 60 points and a financial proposal worth 40 points. Bidders must score at least 39 points on the technical evaluation, which assesses company profile, past project experience, and staffing capacity, to proceed to the financial stage. Only the seven highest-scoring technical bidders move forward, with the final selection potentially limited to three vendors. Awarded contractors must provide a renewable performance bond equal to 10% of the total contract value and maintain a WSIB Certificate of Clearance. Contract administration requires strict adherence to a structured work order timeline, including acknowledging requests within one business day and providing estimates within five business days of a site visit. Invoicing must be submitted in PDF format for each suite separately within 30 days of final acceptance and must be accompanied by a CCDC 9A statutory declaration. Quality control is paramount, with the first three completed suites subject to a joint review and a requirement for vendors to rectify deficiencies on a 24/7, 365-day basis.
