Professional Services for the LeBreton Flats Plan of Subdivision

BACKGROUND:The National Capital Commission (NCC) is a federal Crown corporation created by Canada’s Parliament in 1959 under the National Capital Act. Building on more than a century of experience, the NCC provides unique value in the Capital Region by fulfilling three specific roles: long-term planner of federal lands, principal steward of nationally significant public places, and creative partner committed to excellence in development and conservation.The NCC developed a Master Concept Plan (MCP) for LeBreton Flats that was approved by the NCC Board of Directors in April 2021. The Subject Lands are a largely undeveloped transit-oriented brownfield site located in the urban core of Ottawa, within the National Capital Region. The LeBreton Flats MCP is a multi-decade vision to transform the area into a complete sustainable mixed-use community and capital destination.The NCC is the majority landowner of LeBreton Flats with the role of master developer. Through this RFP, the NCC is seeking a Proponent to prepare a Plan of Subdivision to support implementation of the MCP, including a plan for phasing and implementation of servicing and road infrastructure.INTENTThe National Capital Commission (NCC) is seeking a multidisciplinary consultant team (the “Proponent”) to prepare and obtain municipal approval for a Plan of Subdivision for the development of LeBreton Flats, as well as prepare a plan for future registration of subdivision phases (including the delivery of required infrastructure). These activities will comprise the “Project.”The Plan of Subdivision is the next stage of planning this 29-hectare urban brownfield site (the “Subject Lands”), following the creation of the LeBreton Flats Master Concept Plan (MCP) in 2021. The MCP includes a phasing approach for development and delivery of public realm elements over a 20- to 30-year period. The MCP outlines a framework of policies and targets to create a new transit-oriented, mixed-use community with ample parks and public realm that sets a new bar for sustainable, inclusive, active-mobility oriented community development.The Proponent will be responsible for preparing a complete Plan of Subdivision application to the City of Ottawa, including all required technical studies and plans. Working with the NCC and key stakeholders, the Proponent will support any further work required to secure draft approval of the Plan of Subdivision from the City of Ottawa and develop a plan for phased subdivision registration by third parties (ie. developers).Strong expertise in urban planning, transportation planning, municipal servicing, stormwater management, road design, project management, and experience with the City of Ottawa development application process, specifically with regard to plans of subdivision, will be necessary for this project.Enquiries regarding this RFP must be submitted in writing by e-mail to Sr. Contract Officer Emilie Scheckman – emilie.scheckman@ncc-ccn.ca as early as possible within the solicitation period.
