Information from City of Calgary

Over the last 18 months, The City has been working with internal and external stakeholders, the Consulting Engineers of Alberta, Consulting Architects of Alberta, Calgary Construction Association and Alberta Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association, to develop and pilot a new suite of construction procurement documents. The City’s primary goals for developing these documents are:

emphasis on fair, open, transparent procurement processes;
balanced and fair allocation of risk (e.g. risk allocated to the party best able to manage it) in Standard General Conditions;
promotion of efficiencies that expedite preparation and use of documents for City staff and external stakeholders;
use of plain and consistent language;
preparation of a suite of documents that allow for interchangeable plug-ins for different delivery methods (Design/Bid/Build and Construction Management are completed, Design/Build is still in preparation).

As the documents are finalized, we will release samples to internal and external stakeholders for information on The City of Calgary - Preparing construction tenders site. The first documents, being released, include:

Future construction procurement documents in development include:

Request for Standing Offer Construction
Request for Proposals Non-Binding Design/Build Construction

The City will be offering an information session for external interested parties. Details will be available through the external stakeholders who participated in the project in the near future.

The City will begin to phase in the new documents starting immediately. The transition from the old to the new documents will continue until the end of 2016, at which time we will stop using the old documents.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all internal and external stakeholders for their assistance in developing the new suite of construction procurement documents. The amazing collaboration and time investment by all parties will benefit us all in the coming months and years.
