Archaeological Services

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is soliciting proposals for professional archaeological services to support the construction of a civic building in Chilliwack, British Columbia. The project involves leading the archaeological assessment and permitting for an undeveloped property of approximately 6 acres, with 4 acres specifically proposed for development. The selected proponent must be a professional archaeologist registered with the BCAPA, capable of holding a provincial heritage permit, and possess thorough knowledge of the BC Archaeology Branch requirements to ensure full compliance with the Heritage Conservation Act (HCA). The anticipated start date for the project is December 2026. Proposals must be submitted in Adobe PDF format, not exceeding 9.8 MB, by 1 PM on November 19, 2026, to the attention of David Urban. The award will be based on the overall best value to the FVRD, evaluating a combination of financial terms, financial capabilities, corporate and technical capability, relevant experience, and past performance. Required submission documents include a form of proposal, a detailed schedule of fees and rates in Canadian Dollars, a list of project team members, and up to six resumes. Proponents are also required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest or existing business relationships with the FVRD.
