The project scope encompasses the demolition and removal of the existing structure, the supply and installation of a new dome, and the integration of all necessary mechanical, electrical, structural, and life-safety systems. Additionally, the contractor must supply, install, test, and commission a new 580 kW emergency generator.

To be eligible, respondents must demonstrate a minimum average annual construction value of 6,000,000 dollars over the last four calendar years and provide proof of OHSMS certification through COR, ISO, or equivalent standards. The City intends to prequalify a maximum of four top-ranked respondents who achieve a minimum score of 70 points, with evaluation heavily weighted toward Canadian project experience with air-supported structures. Mandatory submissions include bank references, bonding verification, and insurance confirmations. The deadline for electronic submissions is October 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time. Successful candidates must adhere to comprehensive insurance requirements and provide performance and labour and material payment bonds licensed in Ontario.
