Ball Construction, the construction manager for the new Kawartha Lakes Paramedic Headquarters in Lindsay, is seeking trade contractors interested in working on a variety of projects for the major build, with construction expected to begin this summer with completion in 2028.
The $50-million headquarters at 230 Angeline Street South will provide modern facilities to support paramedic operations, including a state-of-the-art ambulance garage, maintenance and storage areas for paramedic supplies, an automated vehicle wash, a gymnasium and fitness areas, and offices, training rooms, and change rooms for staff.
As well as consolidating seven of the 11 existing paramedic facilities from multiple locations across Kawartha Lakes, the headquarters will also house administrative offices, training, logistics, and fleet operations. It will also provide a back-up location for the city’s critical IT infrastructure and serve as a back-up for 911, as it includes Kawartha Lakes Police Service’s Backup Communication Centre.
Ball Construction is inviting pre-qualification submissions from interested trade contractors until Friday, March 6. Submissions can be sent to Brendon Aitken at Ball Construction Ltd., 5 Shirley Ave., Kitchener, ON N2G 4G8 or emailed to baitken@ballcon.com.
