Publication date
Closing date and time 2024/06/21 17:00 EDT
Description
Multiple catastrophic forest fires burned across Yellowhead County over the past few years which
overwhelmed municipal and provincial wildfire forces. Over 20 primary residences were destroyed and
tens of thousands of residents evacuated. In some cases, multiple times. Yellowhead County (the
“County” or “YHC”) through a Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA) grant is
looking to hire a contractor(s) to develop a plan to construct community fireguards to enhance
wildfire protection.
YHC contains seven hamlets and numerous rural subdivisions that will require consideration. The
majority of the county is enveloped by the Alberta Forest Protection Area (FPA). There is a mix of
agricultural land in the eastern part of the County and treed foothills in the western part of the
County.
YHC works closely with Agriculture and Forestry to develop fuel mitigation projects within the FPA.
There is a relatively small area outside of the forest protection that contains the hamlet of
Evansburg
and other built-up areas that will also be considered.
Contract duration
The estimated contract period will be 3 month(s), with a proposed start date of 2024/07/01.
