The Berg Lake Trail (BLT) is a world-renowned hiking experience in the heart of Mount Robson Provincial Park. When the initial management plan for Mount Robson Park was developed in 1992[1] (which was updated in 2011), one recommendation was to have a second plan that focused solely on recreation management within the Berg Lake Corridor due to the intensive recreation the area receives. The Berg Lake Corridor includes the well-known BLT and the surrounding area, including Mumm Basin, Whitehorn Mountain, Mount Robson, and Snowbird Pass. The current Berg Lake Corridor Plan (2000) was based on a master's thesis from the 90's and did a great job at providing direction for a variety of important considerations such as, trail/facility development, reservations, campsite numbers, and general carrying capacity. The original plan was made for a span of 25 years, from 2000-2025, thus it is nearing the end of its cycle and needs to be updated and add content to fill some important gaps (such as climbing, First Nations context, climate change, etc.). Through background research, discussions with local BC Park staff, stakeholder/public engagement, the purpose of this project is to create an updated Visitor Use Management Plan for the Berg Lake Corridor. The new plan will ultimately refine the direction to effectively manage recreational use within the corridor, while maintaining consistency with the broader Mount Robson Park Management Plan for the next 25 years. BC Parks is seeking a contractor to develop the Berg Lake Corridor Visitor Use Management Plan with a project end date of March 31, 2026. In fiscal year 2024/2025 (ending March 31, 2025), a budget of $55,000 has been approved. It is likely that a contract renewal will be available into fiscal 2025/2026, depending on budget availability and project needs, at the sole discretion of the Ministry. Question Deadline 06/25/2024 at 4:00 PM The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
