Agenda Description and Purpose of a DA DA Preparation and Execution Process Construction Manager (CM) vs General Contractors (GC) General Contractor Milestones and Deliverables Construction Manager Milestones and Deliverables Questions 3
Development Agreement: Description and Purpose The DA is a legal document signed by the operator and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (the ministry) that states the terms and conditions for redevelopment projects that operators must comply with in order to receive a Construction Funding Subsidy (CFS) per diem under the Construction Funding Subsidy Policy for Long-Term Care Homes, 2015. After a LTC home operator is approved into the Enhanced Strategy, a DA must be prepared and fully executed before the project can proceed with an assurance of funding (subject to meeting the conditions in the DA). o The operator must work with their assigned Project Manager (PM) to provide the detail necessary for the ministry to draft the DA. Without an approved DA in place, construction cannot begin. 4
DA Execution Process PM must confirm the project details and schedule, with the operator. Operator may need to contact their architect for a project schedule. The ministry s legal team prepares the DA based on standard template Operator and the operator s legal team review and operator signs DA. The Minister then reviews and signs the DA (and it is then considered fully executed.) Confirmation of Project Details Preparation of the DA Operator Review and Signature Minister Review and Signature 5
Planning Grant for Non-Profit Homes The Planning Grant will be provided to eligible non-profit operators (e.g. charitable, not-for-profit, municipal) to cover $250,000 per project for costs associated with organizing and preparing for the redevelopment project. The eligible operator will receive this one time grant after the Development Agreement is fully executed. Eligible expenses include professional or consultant services (e.g. an architect, engineer, project manager) and must be incurred before construction starts and within two years prior to construction start (or back to the execution of the DA if that was earlier). A Planning Grant may be provided only where no grant of this type has previously been provided to the Operator in respect of the redevelopment of the home, or in respect of any other LTC home at 6 the same location.
What s the Difference? General Contractor (GC)? Contractually responsible to the Operator for the entire construction work of the project. Takes overall responsibility for the project; may perform work itself or hire subcontactors and supervise the work. Public Tender after the Working Drawings have been approved Selection of GC must be approved by the Minister Construction Manager (CM)? Plans, coordinates, and controls construction of project. The Operator (not the CM) hires/selects subcontractors for a project, with assistance of CM. Public Tender required, but selection of CM does not require Minister approval. Minister approval of selection of at least first publicly tendered subcontractor is required. CM bid may include an option to convert contract into a stipulated sum contract 7
