Roblin Centre Safety Guardrail Project - Phase 1 (Tender for Construction)

1.1 SUMMARY OF WORK .1 2 Architecture Inc. is soliciting bids from General Contractors on behalf of RRC Polytech for the renovation of existing stair and bridge guardrails at select locations on campus, including the installation of guardrail extensions and infill glazing within existing openings to address programmatic safety concerns. .2 RRC Polytech is proposing upgrades to its existing guardrails and openings throughout the building to enhance safety beyond current building code requirements. While the existing guardrails are code compliant, the intent of this work is to exceed minimum code by adding guardrail extensions, infilling select openings with glazing and modifying stair and bridge guardrail conditions to address safety concerns. The work includes new steel framing, mesh or glazed guardrail extensions, selective removal of existing top rails where required, and infill glazing to improve safety while maintaining air flow and acoustic connectivity. Construction will occur while the campus remains operational. When working within occupied areas of the building, the Contractor shall coordinate with RRC Polytech and take all reasonable measures to minimize disruption to building users, including noise, dust, and impacts to circulation and program activities. The project is divided into Phases 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D, with Phase 1D identified as a separate price. The building permit was issued on June 23, 2026. Upon award of the Contract, 2 Architecture Inc. will transfer the building permit to the successful Bidder.
