Infrastructure Ontario and Halton Healthcare Services have requested proposals to three teams shortlisted to design, build, finance and maintain the Milton District Hospital expansion project.
A request for qualifications process began in August 2013. It shortlisted the top three companies with the development, design, construction, financial and facilities management capacity to undertake a project of this size and complexity.
The companies are: Hospital Infrastructure Partners, Milton Healthcare Partnership and Plenary Health.
The expansion project will focus on increasing the most in-demand services and facilities at Milton District Hospital. This includes: emergency, surgical, critical care, maternal newborn, diagnostic imaging and support services, as well as medical/surgical inpatient units. With connections to the existing facility, the new addition will significantly increase the size of the hospital.
The new addition will target the Canada Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. LEED buildings focus on healthy indoor environments, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and efficient use of energy, water and other resources.
Once submissions are received and evaluated, the successful project team will be selected, and announced in spring 2015. Construction is expected to begin shortly after.
Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care are working with Halton Healthcare Services to develop the Milton District Hospital, which will be publicly-owned and publicly-controlled.
Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care said the hospital expansion is part of the government’s Action Plan for Health Care.
"Providing Ontarians with access to high quality health care options that are close to home is part of our plan,” she said. “The expansion of Milton District Hospital is great news for local residents as it will provide Milton patients with a new, state-of-the-art facility that will continue to meet their health care needs today, tomorrow and well into the future."
Denise Hardenne, Interim President and CEO of Halton Healthcare Services added that construction is scheduled to begin in 2015.
"This significant expansion will greatly enhance the high-quality programs and services we provide to the residents of Milton,” she said. “We are on-track to begin construction next year and are looking forward to working with the successful bidder to design and build modern facilities at MDH to better meet the healthcare needs of our growing community."
