A Request for Prequalification (RFPQ) for the Grove Long-Term Care Redevelopment Project was released last week. This process asks interested contractors to confirm their experience and capacity in related construction projects.

The RFPQ invited contractors to share their interest in three potential areas: smaller miscellaneous projects at Arnprior Regional Health; the renovation of the Central Sterile Reprocessing (CSR) at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) and The Grove redevelopment.

“This is a significant milestone and the next major step in the redevelopment process at both The Grove and ADMH,” explains Eric Hanna, President and CEO. “It’s exciting to see these projects move forward.”

In August 2017, Premier Wynne announced funding to expand The Grove from 60 to 96 beds. The new space will also include a community health hub to deliver services for seniors in the community.

The construction project at ADMH includes renovations to CSR, a key hospital department responsible for the cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing of medical devices and equipment.

These redevelopment programs will result in more than $30 million in facility upgrades at Arnprior Regional Health over the next 30 months.
