Architectural/Design Firm to provide prime consultant services for the construction of a new 10-bed
residential hospice facility, to be referred to as Chatham Kent Hospice, to meet the needs of
Chatham-Kent. Also housed within the facility will be associated palliative programs and services.

1.2 Background Information
Chatham Kent Hospice Inc. is a volunteer, not for profit organization that has been g ranted Ontar io Min is t r y o f Hea l th & Long Term Care f und ing to provide palliative (end of life) care in this community. Compassionate and comfortable end of life care is as important as the care we receive during our lifetime.
Over the last few years Chatham Kent Hospice Inc. has been working towards the construction of a 10 -bed residential hospice facility, to be referred to as Chatham Kent Hospice, to meet the needs of Chatham-Kent. The hospice will be constructed on space within the city block owned and occupied by St. Andrew’s Residence. This city block is within the former City of Chatham and is bounded by Wellington Street East, Adelaide Street South, Church Street and William Street South. The intended location of the Hospice within the block is on property comprised of 84, 86, and 92 Adelaide Street South. If necessary, some encroachment into the parking area located behind (to the west of) the Adelaide Street South properties may be permitted, so long as it does not impeded traffic flow and any lost parking spaces can be accommodated within or adjacent the block. Note: The corner property located at 40 Wellington Street East and 78 Adelaide Street South is privately owned and cannot be encroached on or negatively impacted by this project. Chatham Kent Hospice has a limited budget in which to realize the completion of this project. With this Request for Proposal, we are calling on our community partners experienced in similar construction to work closely with Chatham Kent Hospice to complete this very important project, on time and on budget.
