Question Deadline: Thu Sep 22, 2022 4:30:00 PM (EDT) This Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") is an invitation by The Corporation of the Town of The Blue Mountains (the "Town") to prospective respondents to qualify for eligibility to provide Planning & Development Engineering Support Services as further described in Section A of the RFQ Particulars (Appendix A) (the "Deliverables"). The Town of The Blue Mountains is Canada's second fastest growing municipality and serves as home to over 9,300 full-time residents, with an extensive part-time and seasonal population. Recognized as Ontario's true four-season tourism and recreation destination, The Blue Mountains welcomes an additional 2.5 million visitors annually and offers a high-quality lifestyle that caters to families looking to build a solid foundation, adventurers looking to go off the beaten path and relaxation seekers taking in and experiencing the very best the area has to offer. Built on a strong foundation of agriculture and tourism, the success of the local economy has been driven largely by innovation and entrepreneurship across the sectors of agriculture, tourism, construction, small business and hospitality and service. The Town is experiencing significant development activity beyond historic levels and therefore is seeking to develop a pool of consultants to provide services in the areas of Land-Use Planning and Development Engineering. There are times when additional supports are necessary to backstop staff due to the volume of submissions and workload constraints, the transition of staff, or when specialized skills for Land-Use Planning and Development Engineering special project work are needed. The scope of this RFQ is for the Town to retain a Consultant pool of up to a maximum of four (4) consultants on an 'as needed' and/or 'project-by-project' basis, and the specifics of each individual project are to be agreed upon (outlining the scope of work, estimated time, deliverables, and schedule) between the Consultant and the Town's Director of Planning and Development Services prior to initiating an individual Project. The Town's Director of Planning and Development Services may assign tasks, projects, and assignments in his sole discretion to any selected Consultant. The Town may offer development proponents the opportunity to pay for services through the Consultant pool. A prequalified Consultant should not submit a response to a competitive process in this circumstance if there is any real or perceived conflict of interest with the development proponent. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
