Forestry and Parks - Request for Proposal - Hoist Capable Medium HelicopterThe Province seeks to contract one medium helicopter equipped with personnel and fire-line equipment hoisting capabilities for wildfire suppression purposes in Alberta. The contract spans five years, with a preference for hoist-capable helicopters throughout the entire term. For the first year, a range of acceptable helicopter models is specified, including several Bell models such as the Bell 205A1++, Bell 205B, Bell 212 variants, and Bell 412 series. Recognizing potential challenges in acquiring and staffing the required hoist-capable aircraft for the 2026 wildfire season, the Province may accept a conventional medium helicopter in the first year as a transitional measure. However, from years two to five, the contractor must supply a hoist-capable aircraft by March 1, 2027, or risk contract termination. Additional helicopter models may be considered upon written inquiry and approval. The helicopter will be deployed throughout Alberta as needed and may be relocated on short notice, including potential export outside the province, with no set limits on repositioning duration. The Province guarantees a minimum of 100 operational days in the first year and 130 consecutive days from the second year onward, with no guaranteed flying hours during the core period. The contract allows for two optional one-year extensions under the same terms. Proponents must own the proposed helicopter at the time of proposal submission and provide appropriate documentation as specified in the solicitation. The contracting authority for inquiries is Kent Jennings, associated with the Forestry and Parks sector of the Government of Canada.
