A new building to replace existing facilities for patients with complex mental illness who have encountered the legal system is one step closer to reality after the request for proposals (RFP) stage closed.
The project, which is being led by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), will see a new building constructed at the 1001 Queen Street West location in Toronto.
The PCL team, which includes Diamond Schmitt Architects & Architectural Resources, PCL Construction Canada Inc., and TD Securities, was selected to design, build, and finance the project.
IO and CAMH will now evaluate PCL’s proposal and, if successful, negotiate the terms for a contract, which is anticipated to be finalized in late 2023.
A fairness monitor is overseeing the entire procurement process.
