The Ontario Provincial Police General Headquarters Building is comprised of three 4-story atrium blocks arranged in a semi circle and sharing a glass enclosed concourse, with a total floor area of 950,000 sq ft. In addition to the main building, there is a heliport building and a canine building on site. The General Headquarters houses the Forensic Medical Labs that service central Ontario. Apart from the high security areas, critical facilities and offices, the main building contains a daycare centre, a museum, a library and a gift shop.
Morrison Hershfield provided a Fire Alarm System Report , identifying the condition of the existing outdated system and the problems associated with keeping the old system. Based on the recommendations of this report, the Ontario Realty Corporation prepared a Request for Proposals for consulting engineering services regarding the design and contract administration of a new fire alarm system.
We were awarded the contract and provided a design brief and prepared design drawings, technical specifications and tender documents for the fire alarm system replacement. The total construction cost is estimated to be $1,100,000.
