Game plan for new stadium advances
The City of Regina has narrowed the field and three groups have been shortlisted to submit bids to design, build and partially finance the new stadium.


REGINA — The City of Regina has narrowed the field and three groups have been shortlisted to submit bids to design, build and partially finance the new stadium.

Bouygues Construction Graham Community Partners, Clark Builders — Turner Construction, and PCL Construction Management have been selected to move into the Request For Proposal (RFP) process to design, build and provide partial interim financing of the stadium project.

The process is slated to begin in July.

The evaluation team worked with a contracted adviser, P1 Consulting, to evaluate each proposal in the following categories: proponent team, design capability and experience, construction capability and experience and financial and financing information.

In January, city council approved the funding and conceptual design of the 33,000-seat, roof-ready stadium at Evraz Place.

Construction of the stadium is expected to begin in spring 2014, and it is expected the Saskatchewan Roughriders will start their 2017 season in the new facility.

“We are extremely pleased with the responses we received from this competition, which includes some of the top stadium designers and construction firms in the business,” deputy city manager and CFO Brent Sjoberg said in a news release. “The diversity and mix of submissions were very strong and will put us in a great position to move forward to the RFP stage.”

Personally I hope they go with Turner Construction, they have a history of designing and building some fantastic sports venues.
