Report Overview
To request approval to award RFP2024-10 to the most responsive proponent to provide
design, engineering, fabrication and installation of the South Bowmanville Recreation Centre
Air Supported Dome.
1. Background
1.1 The Municipality of Clarington (Municipality), Project Manager Colliers Project Leaders
(Colliers) and Prime Architect MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects Ltd (MJMA)
requires the assistance of a qualified manufacturing firm for the provision of the air
supported dome structure to be included as part of the South Bowmanville Recreation
Centre (SBRC).
1.2 A Request for Proposal (RFP) was drafted with the assistance of Colliers and MJMA to
allow the Municipality to select a qualified air supported dome manufacturer for design
and installation at the SBRC.
1.3 RFP2024-10 was issued by the Procurement Services Division and advertised
electronically on the Municipality’s website. The RFP was structured on a two-envelope
system with price being an evaluated factor.
2. Analysis
2.1 The RFP closed October 3, 2024.
2.2 The RFP stipulated, among other things, that the proponents were to provide a
description of the Firm’s team, key qualifications, firm profile, highlights of past service
and experience of team members with projects of similar size, nature and complexity,
and demonstrate an understanding of the Municipality’s requirements.
2.3 Two companies downloaded the document, and two proposals were received (refer to
Attachment 1) by the stipulated closing date and time. All proposals received complied
with Phase 1 - Mandatory submission requirements and were distributed to the
evaluation committee for review, evaluation, and scoring.
2.4 The technical proposals were evaluated and scored independently by the members of
the evaluation committee in accordance with the established criteria as outlined in the
RFP. The evaluation committee was comprised of staff from the Community Services
Division, Colliers and MJMA.

2.5 The evaluation committee met to review and agree upon the overall scores for each
proposal. Some of the areas on which the submissions were evaluated were as follows:
• The Proponent’s understanding of the Municipality’s requirements;
• Highlights of services provided performing similar work on projects of comparable
nature, size, and scope in a municipality of similar population size;
• A methodology describing the Proponent’s project management approach, work
plan, goals, objectives, and methods of communications to be utilized to meet the
requested deadlines; and
• A proposed solution including a detailed work plan indicating the project method,
schedule, Gantt chart, and deliverables showing an estimated overall timeline of
the project.
2.6 Upon completion of the evaluation, one submission met the established passing
threshold of 80 percent for Phase 2 – Technical Submission and moved to Phase 3 -
Pricing. It was determined by the evaluation committee that a presentation from the
short-listed proponents would not be required.
2.7 The pricing envelope was opened and evaluated as stipulated in the RFP document.
2.8 The RFP was structured to award using a two-stage approach for the design and
construction of the air supported dome structure at the SBRC.
2.9 The Municipality with assistance from Colliers and MJMA will be responsible for the first
stage of the project which includes design, and specification development. The second
stage costs will be identified as a cash allowance in the facility construction tender
documents and will be assumed by the successful General Contractor.
2.10 Upon completion of the evaluation scoring, the recommendation is to award the contract
for this work to the highest ranked proponent, Farley Manufacturing Inc.
2.11 Farley Manufacturing Inc. has not provided services to the Municipality previously as
such references have been checked and found to be satisfactory.
