Description
File: 1220-2024-3389 – Sumas River Watershed Technical Assessment Study
Notice of Intent to Award a Contract
Notice is hereby given that the City of Abbotsford (the “City”) is contemplating making a direct award of a contract to Kerr Wood Leidal Consulting Engineers Ltd. (the “Supplier”) for the following:
• Sumas River Watershed Technical Assessment Study
Background
The November 2021 extreme weather event has caused flooding in various parts of the City, and most notably the widespread flooding in the Sumas Prairie, due to the Nooksack River overflow from Whatcom County in the United States of America.
As part of the ongoing work under the Sumas River Flood Mitigation Collaborative Framework (“Framework”), the City intends to engage the services of a qualified professional, Kerr Wood Leidal Consulting Engineers Ltd. (“KWL”), to assist with Technical Assessment Study. This study utilizes a newly updated hydraulic model to assess scenarios that align with the shared knowledge, values, and principles of all participants of the Framework.
Scope
The scope includes developing and simulating flood risk mitigation scenarios and reporting.
Rationale for Contemplating a Direct Award
The City is contemplating a direct award with the Supplier for the following reasons:
• With the objectives of public security and safety and the protection of human, animal and plant life and health and due to the unpredictability of severe weather events, it is important that the provision of services be expedited as delays increase the risks of Sumas Prairie being exposed to the same magnitude of flood risk seen in November 2021.
Contract Value:
The value of the contract is expected not to exceed $300,000.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.
Submission of Objection Notice
Any Respondents that still wish to object to this decision they should email their objection to the attention of Sailesh Kapadia, Buyer III, Procurement Services at https://abbotsford.bidsandtenders.ca by Friday, September 13, 2024 no later than 2:00 p.m. local time.
Submissions by other methods will not be accepted.
Respondents objecting must outline specific reasons for their objection in their email as well as demonstrate their ability to perform the contemplated work and/or services and show availability and resources. The Respondent’s ability to provide goods and services of the same or better quality and price and within the required period will be the key criteria used in the consideration of any Respondent’s objections.
