TORONTO - Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Sinai Health System have issued a request for qualifications to build and finance Mount Sinai Hospital's Phase 3A redevelopment project. The project is a large-scale renovation of several key areas of Mount Sinai Hospital, and includes:
- redevelopment of the Critical Care Unit
- expansion and redesign of the Emergency Department
- expansion and redesign of Operating Rooms and Surgical Services
- increased Medical/Surgery Inpatient capacity
- redesign of some of the Ambulatory Care areas
- redevelopment of a full-service, in-house Medical Devices Reprocessing Department
The request for qualifications is the first step in the procurement process to select a team to build and finance the project. Submissions will be reviewed to pre-qualify project teams that have the necessary construction capability, experience and financial capacity to undertake a project of this size and complexity. Pre-qualified teams will then be invited to respond to a request for proposals, which is expected to be issued in early 2016.
IO and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with Sinai Health System to redevelop the facility, which will be publicly owned, controlled and accountable.
