18-1603 - Drought Vulnerabilities, Risks and Mitigation Strategies

The City of Calgary (The City) is seeking a qualified consultant to develop a Drought Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Drought Mitigation and Response strategies.  
 
Drought management is an important priority for The City.  However, many of the Utility’s current operating practices and water management plans and strategies have not been specifically analyzed and developed through a drought lens.  The need for a comprehensive and strategic review has been identified to strengthen long-term drought resiliency through an integrated watershed management approach.  This RFP will provide technical and risk analysis to identify and prioritize financial, operational, regulatory, environmental and social vulnerabilities and risks during drought.  An additional component of the work is to recommend an integrated system of drought mitigation and response strategies.  
 
This project is divided into 3 phases:
 
Phase 1: Development of a Drought Risk and Vulnerability Assessment.
Phase 2: Development of Drought Mitigation and Response Strategies.
Phase 3: Implementation of Drought Mitigation and Response Strategies.

Any Agreement resulting from this opportunity will have a duration lasting until project completion.
