Infrastructure Ontario and Halton Healthcare Services today announced Hospital Infrastructure Partners is the preferred proponent selected to design, build, finance and maintain the new replacement Oakville Hospital. 

The New Oakville Hospital will be a state-of-the-art facility with a full range of health services including: 

  • complex continuing care; 
  • rehabilitation; 
  • renal dialysis; 
  • acute inpatient care; 
  • maternal child care; 
  • inpatient and outpatient adult and child and adolescent mental health; 
  • secondary and tertiary level programs. 

The selection of Hospital Infrastructure Partners is the result of extensive evaluations following an open, fair and competitive request for proposals process that began in May 2010. The Hospital Infrastructure Partners team includes: 

  • Developer: Carillion Canada Inc., EllisDon Corporation, Fengate Capital Management Limited 
  • Design: Parkin Architects in joint venture with Adamson Associates Architects 
  • Construction: Carillion Canada Inc., EllisDon Corporation 
  • Facilities Management: Carillion Canada Inc., EllisDon Corporation 
  • Financial Advisor: Fengate Capital Management Limited, Scotia Capital 

The hospital will be designed and built to meet the Canada Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system, with a goal of achieving LEED® Silver certification. LEED® buildings focus on healthy indoor environments, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and efficient use of energy, water and other resources. 

Infrastructure Ontario and Halton Healthcare Services will now work to finalize contract details with the preferred bidder. The project is expected to reach commercial close and financial close this summer, which will mean that relevant contracts have been signed and a financing rate has been set. 

Construction, which is expected to begin in summer 2011, will create spin off jobs in the community and will stimulate economic development in the region. 

Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with Halton Healthcare Services to develop the new replacement hospital, which will remain publicly owned and publicly controlled. 

Infrastructure Ontario is a Crown corporation dedicated to delivering some of the province's larger and more complex infrastructure renewal projects - ensuring they are built on time and on budget and to providing the public sector and not-for-profit organizations with long-term financing to renew their infrastructure.
