About this tender
Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) is soliciting bids for the full renovation of the mechanical room J-6500 on the 6th floor of the Judith-Jasmin pavilion (405 rue Sainte-Catherine Est, Montréal), including end-of-life electromechanical systems originally installed in 1978. Scope includes replacing ventilation units U-120 to U-125, replacing two gas steam boilers with one gas and one electric steam boiler, cleaning retained ventilation ducts, piping and electrical distribution work, all to be performed in phases using temporary ventilation and a phasing plan prepared by the professionals to keep spaces operational. Additional work covers replacement of exterior metal cladding, creation of sealed temporary openings in walls for temporary mechanical equipment, exterior envelope repair, roofing and flashing interventions (the existing roof is under warranty), painting, and installation of a roof ladder and guardrail. Structural work supports the new ventilation units and boiler room renovation. Hazardous material work includes asbestos removal, fungal decontamination, and work under crystalline silica conditions, followed by enhanced commissioning. The building remains occupied throughout; the contractor must maintain safe, sanitary access for users, keep the courtyard, parking and access routes open, perform service shutdowns outside normal occupancy hours with owner authorization, and bear full responsibility for site access control, health, safety and temporary protection. The estimated contract duration is 27 months. Questions must be submitted in writing to the contracting officer.
