Jarvis Crescent Subdivision Jump Start

The District of Taylor (District) is located in northeast British Columbia with its townsite located on the flats immediately north of the majestic Peace River and along the world famous Alaska Highway. The District includes 610 private dwellings and a population of more than 1,300 residents.

In 2019, the District undertook the subdivision and servicing of a District owned parcel west of Spruce Street and between 102 and 103 Avenue for the purposes of providing diversified housing stock and to accommodate community growth and community transitions for families and seniors. Since completing Jarvis Crescent Subdivision in 2020, the District is issuing this RFP to incentivise the construction of homes on this 50-lot serviced residential neighbourhood.

The District is committed to creating Jarvis Crescent Subdivision as a desirable place to live, and in 2023 they will invest in the construction of the central park area complete with a play structure, benches and other furnishings, trees, grassed surface, trails, signage, and fencing along the perimeter of the park; this fence will also serve as the rear residential fence for numerous future homes. The District will plant buffer trees along the west berm for noise and dust abatement.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is created to attract home builders as individuals and families seeking homes valued between $300,000 to $450,000 are less likely to have the capacity to custom build. This RFP is intended to select Proponents that best meets the District’s needs as defined in this RFP.
