The Existing Morgue Is A Repurposed Outbuilding From Cfb Masset Which Closed In 1997 And Served As Body Storage At Masset Hospital Until The New Hospital Was Built.There Are No Water/Sewer Services Which Is An Infection Control Problem And The Space Is Inadequate For Haida Cultural Practices.Project Scope Would Include A New Build At The Southern Corner, With A Footprint Of Approximately 50Sqm. This Would Include New Construction And Requires Water/Sewer/Power/Data/Security Cameras/Wifi For Vocera, Concrete Apron/Walks To Link Nhgh, Gravel Replacing Lawn For Parking. There Is A Desire To Closely Replicate The Existing Morgue Located At The Haida Gwaii Hospital Located In Daajing Giids (Photos And Drawings Attached). As This Will Be A New Structure Not Attached To The Facility There Will Be Little Impact To Existing Services, Outside Of When Connecting The New Structure To Any Existing Infrastructure.A Parking Pad (Preferably Concrete But May Also Be Compacted Gravel) Will Need To Be Built Next To The North Face Of The Morgue, For A Minimum Of 6 Vehicles And A Hearse.Specialty Timber Local To The Area (Old-Growth Red Cedar) Will Need To Be Procured And Used For The Front Door, Sidings, Purlins, Corner Columns, And The Semi-Exposed Roof Rafters. Historically, These Materials Have Been Handled By Local Wood Workers And Are Required To Be For This Project As Well. A Preferred List Of Wood Workers Will Be Provided By The Council Of Haida Nation For Procurement By The Contractor.The Current Stage Of The Project Is To Achieve A Complete Schematic Design Drawing Set And Proceed With A Class C Quantity Survey. Design Beyond The Schematic Design Phase Should Be Included In The Appendix C Cost Table, But May Not Happen Immediately Following Schematic Design.
