    Summary Details:
    This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation by the District of Summerland (the “District”) to prospective Proponents to submit non-binding Proposals to provide a Hazard, Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (“HRVA”) with Climate Change Risk Assessment (“CCRA”), as further described in the RFP, Section 2 - Deliverables.

    It is expected that the development of the Hazard, Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (HVRA) with Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) will follow the 2020 HRVA toolkit and online HRVA tool as provided by Emergency Management B.C. The scope of this Hazard Risk and Vulnerability Assessment is intended to update and consolidate existing hazard, risk, and vulnerability, assessment information including assessment of those hazards not included in the current HRVA. The HRVA will be a master planning tool to inform the District’s risk-based approach to emergency response planning and priority setting and climate adaptation considerations. It will also identify critical District tools and resources to support personal preparedness and community resiliency.

    1. The details of the goods or services that the District is seeking;
    2. The process for submission, evaluation and award of the Agreement;
