Architectural Consulting for Firehall Arts Theatre

The City of Vancouver is seeking an architect‑led professional consultant team to develop an accessibility‑focused renovation and addition for the historic Firehall Arts Centre Theatre. The scope includes full architectural design, building‑system upgrades, construction‑document production, and obtaining all necessary permits for a later construction phase. The procurement requires a mandatory information/site‑visit meeting, completion of a detailed work plan, personnel qualifications, and a fixed‑price proposal in Canadian dollars. The successful consultant will also coordinate with City‑appointed specialist consultants (heritage, envelope, structural) and must comply with Fair‑Wage, insurance, and Indigenous participation policies. • Deliver a complete set of design drawings, specifications, and permit packages for the theatre renovation and addition. • Perform accessibility upgrades (elevator, accessible washrooms, dressing rooms) and upgrade building systems to meet current VBBL and heritage requirements. • Provide a detailed work plan, Gantt schedule, and cost estimate (via the supplied Pricing Schedule) and submit all mandatory forms (insurance, WorkSafeBC, Supplier Code of Conduct, etc.).
