Prime Consultant Contract Awarded
Dear Members,
Welcome back to the Club! We hope you enjoyed a summer full of memorable family moments, sunshine and relaxation.
Since the positive vote on Renew ’22 at the Annual General Meeting in June, Management and the Board of Directors have wasted no time putting plans in motion.
In July, the Board of Directors and Management, in consultation with Make Projects (Project Manager), conducted a competitive bidding process to hire an architectural firm to be the Club’s Prime Consultant for the Renew ‘22 project.
The Prime Consultant, through an integrated design process, will lead, manage and coordinate a team of consultants to develop architectural and engineered plans that will then be tendered for construction proposals. Through this competitive process, four proposals were evaluated on selection criteria that included relevant experience, key personnel, solution and price.Three firms were short-listed for in-person interviews by our Renew ’22 Committee, which includes representatives from the Board of Directors, Management and Make Projects.
We are proud to announce that hcma Architects + Design (hcma) is the firm that has been awarded the contract. hcma has vast experience in large scale community projects with challenging phasing, complex coordination requirements and discerning stakeholders. hcma has assembled a team of trusted consultants for the delivery of our project, including Box Interior Design (Box). Box recently worked with the Arbutus Club to transform their clubhouse and is currently working with Hollyburn to transform our corridors as part of the Corridor Improvement Plan. Box will bring significant experience and capability with respect to the creative direction of the food and beverage components of the project.
hcma has already begun planning consultation with a number of key stakeholder groups, including employee groups, Activity Committees and our newly established Renew ‘22 Member Design Advisory Committee (R’22 MDAC) to start the detailed design planning. Our R’22 MDAC consists of 13 volunteer Members with a variety of backgrounds including project management, architecture and interior design. We look forward to collaborating with all of these groups and hcma to accomplish our goal of meeting Members’ needs and expectations.
The last few months have officially started the journey to Hollyburn’s bright new future and we couldn’t be more excited. We will continue to keep Members posted as plans progress. All updates, outside of Member communication via email, will be posted on our Renew ‘22 website. Members can expect to receive another formal update via email in November.
Sincerely,
Nancy Chapman
