GOC338394 - Cs - Study for Functional Assessment

The Chancellery, a Branch of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General, requires modifications to its floor layout at the LaSalle Academy, 373 Sussex Drive, Ottawa. At a minimum, The Chancellery on the 3rd floor C tower needs to integrate seven additional workstations into the existing space. The Chancellery would also like to consider replacing all of its non-WP2.0 workstations with WP2.0-compliant ones. A floor plan has been provided that shows the current floor layout and possible areas which could be made available for additional workstations. The project will be completed in two phases:
1. Design – To begin at contract award and be completed by September 11, 2015
2. Implementation – Following Design Phase, construction work finished to permit installation of new workstations to be completed by February 28, 2016.
For Phase 1, the client would like to consider the following options:
1. Utilize existing floor areas (records room, production room CH15, photocopy room, etc.) that can be emptied to make room for workstations. These new workstations can be either WP2.0 compliant, or not. If these rooms are used for workstations, the client would also like to open up the walls, to the extent possible, to create a more appealing work environment for the occupants
2. Convert all existing workstations to WP2.0 configurations, without removing any of the existing partition walls, closets, etc. This would include the spaces under consideration in Option 1, above.
3. Convert the entire floor area into a WP2.0 compliant office space.
Within one week of contract award for the Design phase, the consultant will meet with the client to further define and discuss requirements. The consultant will be required to produce at least two possible layouts for each of the three options listed above. These layouts are required within two weeks of the client meeting. The consultant is also expected to provide Class D estimates for all non-office furniture costs
