Invitation

The Capital Regional District invites detailed proposals from consultants (the "Proponents") in strict accordance with these Proposal Documents (CRD, RFP No. 2022-046). The proposals will be evaluated for the selection of a consultant (or consultants) with the intent to negotiate to enter into a contract (the “Contract”) to provide the services described in Appendix “A”.

The Capital Regional District (CRD), hereinafter referred to as the "CRD”, invites Proposals for the Capital Region Heat Vulnerability Data and Analysis Project, hereinafter referred to as the “Project”. This Project will provide the basis for understanding vulnerability and exposure to extreme heat across the capital region of British Columbia. This project will identify, collect, validate and analyze key demographic, health, building and heat data to assess the capital region populations’ overall vulnerability and exposure to heat, now and in the future. It will use existing data sets along with collected local data.

It is anticipated that the project will commence in March 2023, with all final deliverables completed by August 31, 2023 with numerous milestone deliverables throughout the Project.

The CRD reserves the right to award in whole or in part. Proponents may be awarded additional follow-on work without a further competition.

A Contract will not necessarily result from this Request for Proposal (“RFP”).
