General Description of Requirement

The purpose of this Request for Proposal “(RFP”) is to obtain two separate and distinct multidisciplinary Consultant Design Teams (“Design Teams”) to work co-operatively with the City of Vancouver (“City”) and project partners though a participatory, public-facing design challenge to create site-specific flood management concept designs for Vancouver’s False Creek shoreline.

The City is launching the Sea2City Design Challenge (“Sea2City”) to help inform a framework and vision to guide urban development and ecological revitalization in Vancouver’s False Creek floodplain, a highly valued and constrained urban waterway in the heart of the city.

As a design challenge, Sea2City seeks to:
• Increase public awareness of climate change and sea level rise;
• Explore coastal adaptation approaches that respond to the social equity, economic, and ecological challenges posed by sea level rise and coastal flooding;
• Investigate coastal adaptation approaches for sea level rise beyond 1 metre; and
• Expand the toolbox of coastal flood management approaches.

Sea2City will include a creative and interactive public engagement and communications program managed by the City. Engagement will include a youth stream which will aim to engage with the 18-30 years cohort. Selected design teams will participate in three rounds of events and activities. Each round will include public learning and design events as well as advisory sessions and workshops with groups established for the project (Community Advisory Group, Technical Advisory Group, and City Advisory Team). The third and final round of public engagement will also include a 1-day, inter-team design charrette for a fifth Sea2City challenge site for teams to apply lessons learned through the challenge process.
