City of Edmonton - Request for Proposal - 935715 Floodplain Protection Overlay Regulations

The City of Edmonton is seeking qualified consultants to review, validate, and provide recommendations on draft zoning regulations for the revised Floodplain Protection Overlay, specifically targeting the high hazard and medium hazard flood areas. This work is part of Action 5 of the Climate Resilience Planning and Development Action Plan, aimed at enhancing urban resilience to flood risks through updated municipal land use rules. The consultant will assess the technical accuracy, regulatory effectiveness, and alignment with current flood science and climate projections to ensure the proposed overlay properly protects public safety and infrastructure while supporting sustainable development. Proposals must be submitted by May 25, 2026, in response to solicitation number AB-2026-03220, with Lorry Yendall serving as the primary point of contact. The opportunity is issued under the City of Edmonton, though listed under the Government of Canada’s procurement portal, and performance is expected to occur within Alberta. The consultant’s output will directly inform amendments to the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw, requiring expertise in floodplain management, municipal planning, regulatory analysis, and climate resilience strategies. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate proven experience in similar zoning or land use advisory roles tied to environmental hazard mitigation.
