About this opportunity
Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is seeking a Design Build vendor for a temporary boiler solution to replace the existing central steam plant in the Regent Park neighborhood. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for mechanical construction work, specifically focused on installing gas-fired rental boiler units to provide heating and domestic hot water services for approximately 114 units across buildings bounded by Sumach Street, River Street, Gerrard Street, and Oak Street. The contract is expected to provide a temporary heating solution for five years or more, until targeted buildings are demolished. The proposal evaluation will be based on the lowest total priced submission, with the primary objective of disconnecting, removing, and disposing of existing steam plant infrastructure between Sackville Street and Sumach Street. Interested vendors must be prepared to design and build a comprehensive boiler system that can seamlessly integrate with existing building infrastructure. The RFP was posted on August 27, 2025, with proposals due by October 16, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline of approximately 50 days.
While the RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the complexity of the mechanical construction work suggests that qualified contractors with extensive experience in municipal housing infrastructure and temporary boiler system design will be most competitive. The existing steam plant building will be retained, indicating potential opportunities for phased implementation and minimal disruption to current building operations. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the scope of work involves critical infrastructure replacement for multiple residential units, which likely represents a substantial investment. The project involves disconnecting infrastructure for buildings between Sackville Street and Sumach Street, with potential demolition planned, suggesting this is part of a broader urban redevelopment strategy. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise in designing and implementing temporary heating solutions for multi-unit residential complexes, with a focus on seamless integration and minimal service interruption.
Opportunity text
The existing central steam plant provides critical heating and DHW services to buildings in Regent Park. As the plant is scheduled for decommissioning, TCHC is seeking a temporary boiler solution using gas-fired rental boiler units. This solution is expected to be in place for five years or more until the buildings between Sumach Street and River Street are demolished. The buildings in question that need an alternate heating arrangement but are currently serviced by the steam plant are more clearly identified in the plan below. These buildings are bounded by Sumach Street, River Street, Gerrard Street and Oak Street. The targeted occupancy of the buildings between Sumach Street and River Street will likely be 60-70 percent, which means that approximately 114 units could be occupied. The existing infrastructure from the steam plant, feeding the buildings between Sumach and River Street will be disconnected once the alternate heating arrangement is in place. However, the steam plant building per se, is proposed to be retained. Once the alternate heating arrangement for buildings between Sumach Street and River Street is commissioned, the steam plant infrastructure/piping installed between Sackville Street and Sumach Street will be disconnected, removed and disposed and the buildings between Sackville Street and Sumach Street will be demolished. Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is seeking a Vendor for the provision of Design Build - Central Steam Plant Boilers in Regent Park. TCHC will be awarding to the lowest total priced Proposal . This RFP Category of Work is categorized as Construction. The scope of work in this RFP is sub-categorized as Mechanical Construction Work.
