Renovation Project: Interior Renovations, Accessibility Improvements, Classroom Access

Summary

Dawson City Arts Society (DCAS) invites proposals from qualified consultant teams to provide design services and construction-phase support for Phase 2 — Interior Renovations and Rear (“Classroom”) Entrance Upgrade at the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture (KIAC / Dënäkär Zho).
Phase 2 builds on the accessibility, code, and operational improvements advanced through Phase 1 and focuses on upgrading high-use interior program spaces within a heritage building context.

DCAS intends Phase 2 to follow a participatory design process. The successful proponent will be expected to work collaboratively with KIAC staff, board and committee representatives, the Project Manager, retained accessibility consultants, and other key stakeholders in the development and refinement of design solutions.

This Request for Proposals is intended for consultant teams with demonstrated experience in NBCC Part 3 / Part 4 buildings, public-use interiors, heritage or older-building renovations, and project delivery in northern or remote contexts. Proponents must include, at minimum, a Yukon-licensed Architect qualified to act as Prime Consultant / CRP, and Structural Engineering services retained by the proponent. Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, and any other specialty disciplines shall be included where required to deliver a coordinated, code-compliant, permit-ready design and appropriate construction-phase support.
