A building firm that may construct the practically $200-million Ottawa Police Service south-end facility on Prince of Wales Drive has been chosen.
A report ready for Monday’s Ottawa Police Companies Board Assembly recommends the board award a $115,452,850 contract to Broccolini Building to construct the south facility at 3505 Prince of Wales. The report says Broccolini was the bottom bidder assembly all vital standards. Three bids had been acquired.
The contract features a 7.5 per cent contingency, price simply over $8 million, to account for unknown situations that may come up throughout building.
The mission would see the Ottawa Police Service develop round eight acres of a 15-acre website on Prince of Wales Drive close to Lodge Highway. The 218,000 sq. ft. facility is meant to switch the Leitrim and Greenbank police stations, in addition to a number of leased properties. A brand new 911 Communications Centre could be housed within the new facility.
The Ottawa Police Companies Board accepted plans for a brand new police station in 2013, however the plan was stalled in 2021 due to rising building prices linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
