Dawson Creek Hospital Replacement Project
Dawson Creek, BC
2022-2027 (projected occupancy)
Cost – $590M
The Dawson Creek and District Hospital Replacement Project will result in a new state-of-the-art hospital of approximately 24,500 square metres (263,000 square feet) and have 70 beds, an increase of 24. This project began under the Progressive Design-Build procurement model, and at 60% design was re-issued as an RFP as the health authority was unable to reach an agreement with the previously selected builder.
As a sub-consultant to Colliers Project Leaders, Bart DeVries is a key member of the Project Management Office (PMO) assisting and leading with all key deliverables including design, construction, and equipment management for the new facility.
Schroeder Ambulatory Centre
Richmond Hill, ON
2022-2025 (projected occupancy)
Cost – $300M+ (privately funded)
This ground-breaking new facility is the first of its kind in Canada and the largest private surgical centre in Ontario. At 300,000 square feet, it contains eight operating rooms, clinics, and a full diagnostic imaging department including 2 MRI’s. There is a full ophthalmology surgical suite, and clinic space. It is fully funded by a single donor philanthropist, and will be run as a not for profit charitable organization when it opens in 2025.
Kingdom PMC is responsible for the execution of all equipment and furniture planning and procurement for the facility, working with the contractor (EllisDon) in ensuring this scope is aligned to the approved budget. This is particularly challenging as few staff have been hired in advance of opening day, and surgical and other case loads are not fully determined prior to start-up.
West Lincoln Memorial Hospital
Grimsby, ON
2020-2022
Cost – $300M
A project over a quarter-century in the making, Bart DeVries, Principal at Kingdom Project Management Consulting, led this fast-tracked project through initial programming through to contract negotiations.
An unprecedented schedule of activity (less than two years from initiation to RFP close) could only be completed with strong leadership and stakeholder management.
Bart's understanding of the local community and nature of P3 delivery projects allowed him to contribute to key design decisions, and his ability to assess and make decisions quickly allowed this project to meet or exceed all major planning milestones.
Ron Joyce Children's Health Centre
Hamilton, ON
2012-2017
Cost – $95M
This Design-Build-Finance (DBF) project was developed on a complex brownfield site in Hamilton's North End neighbourhood. Bart DeVries led this project from initiation to completion.
At 180,000 BGSF and a budget of $92M, this project was successfully concluded 6 months ahead of original project scheduling and nearly 20% below budget.
Significantly, the project was completed with $0 in change orders – an unprecedented result for a healthcare project. Our input into the project was widely recognized as the difference maker, and users still comment on the building saying they still "wouldn't change a thing", 5+ years after completion.
