Fettback & Heesterman — Powering Results
Proposal E-242 DC#-EST6R3 April 20, 2026

An engineering-led electrical and automation team for the Lonsdale Energy SHRP.

Integrated delivery of Divisions 25, 26, 27, and 28. Open-book pricing. A single point of accountability across controls, instrumentation, power, and BIM — purpose-built to de-risk the part of this project the bid documents leave undefined.

01 / The Numbers

Three line items. One total. Zero hidden margin.

The pricing below is taken directly from our proposal letter to Ghazal Aliyari, dated April 20, 2026. Hover any card to expand the breakdown.

Total Proposal Value $3,411,772.53
Open-book pricing

Six vendors. Open book. No hidden margin.

We obtained quotations from six independent controls and automation vendors and have published every one of them — base values, scope summaries, and optional adders. None of these are directly comparable; we tell you exactly why, and exactly how we'll reconcile them.

02 / Why Us

The Division 25 story is where this project is won or lost.

The Lonsdale Energy SHRP bid documents currently provide only a partial, concept-level Division 25 design — with an incomplete instrument schedule and undefined OEM packaged equipment integration. Most contractors will bury that risk in contingency. We are surfacing it and pricing it transparently.

"Recognizing that the Lonsdale Energy SHRP bid documents currently provide only a partial, concept-level Division 25 design, F&H, QCA, and WSC propose engaging in a coordinated pre-construction effort under a budgetary allowance / guaranteed maximum price framework. This approach allows the team to fully develop scope, design intent, and trade interfaces collaboratively with the Owner, Engineer of Record, and PCL Westcoast prior to project start."

Project Risk Axis
Conventional Bid-Build
F&H + QCA + WSC Integrated Team
Scope Definition
Bid against an incomplete instrument schedule; gaps absorbed by inflated contingency or surface mid-construction.
Engineering-led scope definition pre-buyout. Complete instrument schedule, control architecture, network topology, panel/skid strategy.
OEM Packaged Equipment
Heat pumps, screens, pump skids — control scope undefined at bid. Signal lists negotiated in the field.
Active OEM coordination, signal mapping, and network integration before gaps become field-driven change orders.
Cost Growth
Contingency carried by Owner. Change orders compound as design matures during construction.
Budgetary allowance converts to defined cost as design matures. Owner influences the number, not the other way around.
Schedule Risk
Physical interface coordination happens after rough-in. Re-routing, re-supports, re-mounts in tight process areas.
Instrument brackets, conduit routing, panel locations engineered pre-construction. Wire-by-number drawings to the trades.
Commissioning
Single end-of-project push. Defects compound, startup compresses.
Phased commissioning mirroring installation. Simulation and FAT support fold into pre-construction.
Operations Handoff
Manuals, training, intuitive operation are afterthoughts.
QCA's MSI model carries through from design to operational handoff — intuitive, maintainable, scalable.
01

Engineering-Led Scope Definition

F&H, QCA, and WSC jointly develop operational philosophy, complete instrument schedule, control architecture, network topology, and panel/skid integration before bid is locked.

02

Owner-Supplied Equipment Coordination

Early review of shop drawings for SHRC units and HV distribution closes interface gaps before they become field issues.

03

OEM Packaged Equipment Integration

Active management of OEM coordination, signal mapping, and network integration — eliminating the most common source of field-driven change orders.

04

Budgetary Allowance / GMP-Friendly

Owner gains pricing transparency and design influence without committing to a hard number against an incomplete scope.

05

Improved Trade Efficiency

Wire-by-number drawings enable cost-effective installation and minimize field-fit improvisation.

06

Cost & Schedule Risk Mitigation

Physical interfaces engineered early. Field delays and last-minute redesigns proactively managed.

07

Streamlined Commissioning & Handoff

Simulation and pre-commissioning fold into pre-construction. Faster startup, faster operational readiness.

08

VDC-Driven Site Execution

F&H in-house BIM scaled by our VIA Technik partnership. Proactive clash resolution, real-time routing input, installation-ready drawings.

03 / The Team Behind the Bid

08 / Open-Book Vendor Pricing

Every controls quote we received. Published.

"These vendor quotations represent different and overlapping interpretations of the required system. They are not directly comparable or additive, as they include varying levels of scope and overlap. Accordingly, the attached quotations must be individually reviewed, coordinated, and aligned prior to establishing a complete and clearly defined value." We're presenting all six so you can see exactly what we have, where it overlaps, and how we will reconcile it.
