The City of Surrey (the "City") is seeking to retain the services of a qualified and professional environmental consultant (the "Consultant") to manage the long-term monitoring requirements arising from the construction of capital projects through the installation of instream or riparian habitats (the "Services"). Typically, these projects require an approval from a regulatory agency, such as Fisheries and Oceans Canada ("DFO") or the Ministry of Forests ("MoF"), and these agencies detail the monitoring and maintenance requirements to ensure the constructed habitats function as intended. At minimum, these project sites will be subject to requirements and a defined scope of Best Management Practices under a MoF Notification or possibly a DFO Letter of Advice to ensure habitats are protected. Historically, these projects may have required Approvals or Notifications (issued by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, or under the superseded Provincial Water Act by the Ministry of Environment), or section 35(2) Letters of Authorization (issued under the Federal Fisheries Act by DFO). The Consultant will provide the following Services in accordance with the information provided within this Schedule A: (a) Overall project management; (b) Field assessments as required by legal requirements and to provide appropriate site-specific recommendations for maintenance; (c) Detailed reports, designs and/or descriptions of current site conditions and proposed maintenance work to be undertaken; (d) Geo-referenced site maps for each site that summarize the maintenance works required that can act as stand-alone documents to be provided to contractors; (e) Site specific consultation to the various contractors conducting remedial works and watering of habitat sites; and (f) Site audits to ensure adequate watering effort is being provided for each habitat site. All inquiries related to this RFP should be directed in writing to purchasing@surrey.ca
