Fort Macleod and district businesses have a chance to get involved in construction of the $122-million police college.
Local companies and tradespeople interested in being involved in the construction of the Alberta Public Security and Law Enforcement Training Centre project are to contact the three prime contractors who are finalists for the project.
The province on Feb. 29 issued requests from proposals from three companies.
“The procurement process is now proceeding,” Fort Macleod Mayor Shawn Patience said.
Town of Fort Macleod economic development officer Martin Ebel urges businesses interested in providing goods or services for the construction of the police college to contact the three design-build teams.
The contacts are:
- PCL Construction Management Inc., Darren Brietzke, 403-769-3237 or djbrietzke@pcl.com.
- Cana Management Ltd., Elena Dmitrieva, 403-262-6246 or dmitrievae@cana.ca.
- Bird Design-Build Construction Inc., Terry Bateman, 403-319-0470 or terry.bateman@bird.ca.
The companies will inform potential suppliers of what additional information they may require to further consider an application.
Ebel said the Town of Fort Macleod is strongly encouraging the design-build teams to utilize local companies and sources whenever possible.
However, Ebel pointed out the selection of sub-contractors and suppliers will proceed according to the requirements of the project and the internal selection processes of the design-build teams.
