What it does

This program provides real property services on a fee-for-service basis to the Federal Accommodation and Infrastructure and Parliament Hill and Surroundings programs of PSPC, as well as to other federal organizations. This program delivers its services in accordance with the instructions of its departments and agencies and functional direction received by the service leads. Therefore, office workplaces and PSPC’s engineering and infrastructure assets, including central heating and cooling plants and associated distribution networks that are part of the NCR District Energy System, as well as several bridges, dams, a highway, and marine infrastructure are maintained, updated, renovated and disposed to meet the requirements of government and to comply with health, safety and environmental standards. This program provides project delivery, property and facility management and advisory services. Sourcing mechanisms will play a key role in providing flexible, agile and effective service capacity to ensure these real property services are provided.
