UBCH Detwiller Pump Replacement

The Fraser Health Authority is seeking a pre-qualified Mechanical Contractor for Project F331-00 at the UBC Hospital Detwiller Pavilion in Vancouver, BC. The scope of work involves the demolition of four chilled water pumps and one hot water pump, followed by the installation of new pumps, housekeeping pads, variable frequency drives, electrical wiring, and piping connections. Because the project is located within an active healthcare facility, the contractor must provide detailed construction phasing and shutdown planning while coordinating closely with UBCH Clinical and Facilities Management Operations teams. The project has an estimated duration of 30 weeks, with an anticipated ready-for-takeover date of August 31, 2027. The contract is based on the CCDC 2 2020 stipulated price form for projects under $5 million, supplemented by specific health authority conditions. Bidders must attend a mandatory site visit and submit their tenders via the FM Online Bidding System by October 23, 2026. Mandatory submission requirements include a bid bond of at least 10 percent of the tender price, a list of key personnel, and a project schedule. If the contract price reaches or exceeds $150,000, the contractor must provide performance and labour and material payment bonds equal to 50 percent of the total contract price. Payment applications are to be submitted on the 28th of each month, and the award will be based on compliance with mandatory requirements and the total tender price.
