Gibsons Elementary School Design Team Shortlisted to 3 Architects!
SD46 Evaluation Team has now completed its shortlist of architects! The respondents from the Request For Qualifications Phase in July 2012 for the rebuild of Gibsons Elementary School has now been shortlisted to Bouygues Building Canada Ltd., DGS Construction Ltd. and Stuart Olson Dominion Construction Ltd.
The Evaluation Team, comprised of Patrick Bocking (Superintendent), Nicholas Weswick (Secretary-Treasurer), Rob Collision (Manager of Facilities), Deborah Luporini (Principal, Gibsons Elementary School), Jim Alkins (Project Director) and Tom Moore (Architectural Advisory) arrived at a decision after ensuring the Fairness Monitor procedure was completed. The Team concluded that based on the submissions received these three respondents best demonstrated their capacity to undertake the Gibsons Elementary Rebuild project with an understanding of the project objectives.
The next step is a Public Information Session at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, September 19th at Gibsons Elementary School (Gym). The community and users of the school are invited to attend this information session and provide feedback to the Evaluation Team. After receiving input on the school and community’s vision, School District No. 46 will issue a Request for Proposals from the three shortlisted architects.
The school district hopes to be able to look at designs for the new building by late fall with the Board of Education approving the final selection in early 2013 and building of the new school to commence in the Spring of 2013. The anticipated Gibsons Elementary School opening would be in the Fall of 2014.
Board Chair Silas White commented, “We’re extremely pleased with the work and expertise of the district Evaluation Team and now look forward to the important community input to help inspire the shortlisted architects to give us their best stuff.”
