BBB/SPA JV and EllisDon will enter into a contract whereby BBB will be the Lead Architect for the RECED and SPA will provide insight into the local design environment given that they are an Alberta based firm. Furthermore, design-build contracts will be established with the mechanical and electrical subcontractors and consultants. Engineering input will form a part of the mechanical and electrical design- build scope of work and those parties will form a part of the Integrated Design Team. ITS's RECED Operations Management group will be a joint venture between Nustadia Recreation ("Nustadia") and SMG, who will provide the Facilities Management and Event/Talent Management pieces of the project respectively. To ensure the required level of integration of the Facilities Management services provider, responsibility will rest with Nustadia, but be shared amongst the Design Team members given the nature of the contract. The Integrated Design Team will work with Nustadia's procurement and maintenance representatives during the design, development, construction, and commissioning phases of the project. This approach to whole life building design, construction, and operation will ensure the best possible facility for RMWB and building experience for the RECED users. Furthermore, a representative from SMG will be an active participant in the design process to ensure that the RECED facility is designed properly in terms of functionality in order for the firm to be able to retain the best talent and entertainment acts available for the enjoyment of the Fort McMurray community.

First and foremost the Operator must have the ability to manage and facilitate the day to day operation of the facility. This will include such things as caring for the artificial ice surfaces, staffing the facility, general upkeep, and security. On top of this we foresee the need for an Operator with the experience
