This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation by The Corporation of the Township of Havelock-Belmont Methuen (the Township) to prospective Respondents to develop a 128 bed LONG-TERM CARE HOME as further described in Section A of the RFP Particulars (Appendix A) (the “Deliverables”).

The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen is located in the south-east corner of Peterborough County and is centrally located between Belleville and Peterborough and only 90 minutes east of Toronto. The Township has a permanent population of 4, 100 and seasonal population of 6, 200 and covers approximately 595 square kilometres with the Village of Havelock as the primary centre. We have access to major highways: Highway 7 runs east and west through the Township and County Road 30 runs north and south. Highway 401 is approximately 30 minutes south of the Village of Havelock and Highway 115 is 30 minutes to the west. We are situated amidst many scenic lakes and rivers and offer a host of activities for outdoor enthusiasts, therefore, tourism accounts for a large part of our economy. The C.P. rail yard and the mining industry are also an integral part of our community, both past and present, and still remain key contributors to the Township's economy.

128 Long Term Care Beds (LTC) have been provisionally granted to the Township. This RFP is soliciting interest from qualified operators to design, construct and manage the LTC Home on lands that have been Zoned and serviced to accommodate that use. 

The subject 7 acre parcel of land which is currently owned by the Township, is to be developed with the 128 bed Long-Term Care home complete with required site improvements (ie. parking, stormwater management, waste management etc.). 

Municipal water and sanitary sewers are available at the lot line as is natural gas. 

The selection process has been designed to motivate the chosen developer to implement a development solution that will fulfill or exceed the Township’s desired outcomes.

The Township hopes to achieve the following outcomes through the sale and re-development of The subject site (628 Old Norwood Road):

•   A well designed site that enhances the area while respecting the existing neighbourhood;
•  A construction schedule that is mindful of the timelines set forth in the province’s recently announced increases to construction funding available for Long Term Care homes;
• An overall project that stands as a model of excellence in design, sustainable and healthy living, accessibility, and environmental conservation.
