13. Background

Calgary Economic Development is an opportunity-maker, helping to spark and fuel

Calgary’s growth. Our job is to connect people with resources that can help them grow their

careers or businesses, thrive in new locations or markets, and feel at home in our

community. We offer a wealth of information to help everyone succeed and we tirelessly

promote Calgary, in Canada and around the world. We’re exhilarated about our role in

shaping and sharing Calgary’s story and we’re proud to be part of the energy. For more

information, please visit our website at calgaryeconomicdevelopment.com and follow us on

Twitter @calgaryeconomic.

The Alberta Creative Hub is a non-profit corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of

Calgary Economic Development Ltd. ACH was created in 2009 as a unique non-partisan

organization with a mission to grow Alberta’s film industry by promoting all levels of

indigenous and foreign film productions, including those that promote Alberta stories.

14. Purpose of the Project

In early February 2014, the Government of Alberta, through the Ministry of Culture,

announced the award of a $5.0MM grant to CED to develop the Calgary Film Centre. The

City of Calgary endorsed the plan to develop a film studio within the City in 2012 and

recently approved a $10MM grant for the current plan.

Engineering Services are now required to assist ACH with the preconstruction and

construction phases of the planned Calgary Film Centre. The Services are to include an

engineering team for design, production and administration of the Calgary Film Centre

Project.

15. Location

The proposed project location is within the city limits of Calgary, Alberta. The facility is to be

constructed on a proposed property of 8.342 acre (3.376 ha) site. A site survey is in

process and will be provided upon awarding of contract. The site is reasonably flat a

variance of approx. 3 meters +/- from front to back and 3 m+/- from side to side, The

dimensions are approx. 175 m on the street side and back x 198 m on each side. A site

survey and location will be presented to the selected firm upon award of the contract.

16. Scope of Work

The Services of the Prime Consultant (architect) are simultaneously being requested which

includes full architectural services. The Services are to include an engineering team for

design, production and administration of the Calgary Film Centre Project. The sub-

consultants will be contracted directly with ACH but coordination between consultants will be

through the Prime Consultant (architect).

The concept of the Alberta Creative Hub is to be a purpose built facility for the film,

television and creative industries in Alberta. The building is built to a “shell condition” for

which the anchor tenant and sub-tenant(s) may construct their tenant improvements within

and use the exterior yard areas.

The project is phased to accommodate the anchor tenant’s required moving in schedule.

The Studios features will include 40’ clear height, long clear spans, extensive acoustical

materials building envelope, independent and sound-attenuated mechanical systems, large

overhead loading dock access doors, drive in loading area (s).

20,000 sq. ft. of Studio). Visual image and cleanness of appearance is important along with

landscaping, fencing and security control elements.

Due to the prime requirement to maintain the overall schedule and to achieve quick review

and approvals from City of Calgary, the design is to adhere to the existing zoning bylaws

I-G.

All construction associated with the Calgary Film Centre will include sustainability

requirements to meet a LEED Gold standard (no certification at this time).

17. Project Schedule

The contract term and work schedule set out herein represent ACH’s best estimate of the

schedule that will be followed. The length of the contract will be from the date of award

until completion of the project. The Project Schedule has been developed and will be

presented for discussion at the time of the interviews. Only the short listed firms will be

interviewed.

The Project will be phased:

Phase 1 -To accommodate anchor tenant, occupancy for Warehouse, Workshop and

Department Facilities with related parking, circulation and security for January 15, 2015.

Phase 2 - Completion of project, occupancy for Balance of Facilities for October 30, 2015.

Phase 3 -Tenant Work - related facilities and improvements within the “shell” base building

Phase 1 and 2 components. Phase 3 is not part of this scope of work.

See Also Section 16 above for the Proposed Facilities Program chart.

18. Construction Budget

The construction budget for the proposed Calgary Film Centre has been developed using

earlier research and updated to reflect the current Project Plan with the current anticipated

construction start date of Q2 2014.

The total Project Budget is FIXED and is estimated at $15.2MM hard cost for construction.

$2.7MM hard cost for services/site development and $12.5MM for building(s).

More detailed costing work will be undertaken to make adjustments for site-specific

conditions and as the planning and design evolves. This budget forecasting, along with

additional cost control measures implemented and managed by the Project Manager, will

become the critical financial management tools for keeping the project within budget.

Specific contract and scheduling strategies will be implemented to assist with budget and

schedule management.
