Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) has issued a request for proposals for a construction manager to deliver the first phase of the New Windsor/Essex Acute Care Hospital.

The scope of work for this phase of the project calls for construction of a parking garage, an education, learning and administration building, and site works that will ensure required infrastructure is in place to support construction and provide onsite parking and workspace in future phases.

Earlier this year, WRH issued another RFP for a design team to complete drawings for the build. The hospital intends to issue a separate tendering process to complete the remainder of the project scope.

WRH says it is on track to have shovels in the ground for its new state-of-the-art acute care hospital by 2026, if not sooner.
