General Description of Requirement

The City of Vancouver (the “City”) is seeking to retain a professional consultant (the “Consultant”) to develop a City-wide action and strategic investment plan to guide policy, regulation, advocacy and long range investments in sewer and stormwater management for the City.

The project will be carried out in two sequential parts:

(a) the first part will be the carrying out of an assessment of the current state of the City’s sewer and stormwater systems and their connections with regional systems and the development and preparation of a plan identifying short term priority actions to advance the City and its partners towards their goals (“Part I”); and

(b) the second part, which, prior to commencement, will be subject to further Council approval and authorization, will be the development of a comprehensive, long term City-wide sewerage and rainwater management plan based on a multi-stakeholder consultation process and appropriate level of analysis to inform strategic investments in green and grey infrastructure, watershed planning frameworks, policy regulation and other actions needed to achieve future objectives (“Part II”).

Both parts will require engagement with key partners and stakeholders and will align with relevant parallel City and Regional processes, namely the development of the Vancouver Plan and the update to the Metro Vancouver Integrated Liquid Waste Resource Management Plan. This project will be rooted in a One Water approach to planning. As such groundwater implications and synergistic opportunities related to conservation of potable water & delivery of non-potable water services and infrastructure will be considered.
