The Fraser Valley Regional District ("FVRD") is seeking proposals from qualified proponents ("Proponents") in response to this request for proposals ("RFP") for the provision of developing fuel management prescriptions for five shaded fuel breaks recommended in the 2019 Fraser Valley Community Wildfire Protection Plans. A fuel management prescription is a document that describes the recommended fuel management activities in an identified area that will reduce fire behaviour. It is expected that the post treatment stand conditions will result in reduced fire behaviour such as a decrease in fire intensity and the potential for sustained ignition. Fuel management prescriptions must ensure a cost effective and measurable reduction in expected fire behaviour with the consideration and management of other values on the landscape. Prescriptions are consistent with the BCWS fuel management prescription principles and meet government objectives for fuel management. Prescriptions need to consider the balance between potential fire behaviour implications and resource values and meet all legislative and non-statutory requirements. A sound fuel management prescription follows three guiding principles: (1) it prescribes specific and measurable targets for fire behaviour reduction; (2) it contains site specific considerations tied to Wildfire Risk Reduction (WRR) objectives; and (3) it aligns with other legal, resource management and non-statutory objectives including First Nation consultation requirements. Prescriptions are completed by a forest professional accredited by the Association of BC Forest Professionals.
