Civida is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-41-RFP for a Cost Consultant to provide construction cost control services for the development of two affordable housing projects on surplus school sites in Edmonton, Alberta. The projects, located at Belmont and Caernarvon, are each expected to contain 172 residential units, with an anticipated construction period running from September 2026 through July 2028. The selected consultant will be responsible for critical financial monitoring and analysis, including the preparation of monthly progress reports, detailed project cash flow management, evaluation of monthly progress claims based on a Work Breakdown Structure, and the delivery of a Tender Reconciliation Report. Additionally, the consultant will review and evaluate proposed change orders, with an allocation of up to 100 hours for this task. The contract is expected to be executed during the week of November 9, 2026, for a term of two years or until all deliverables are completed. Award selection is based on a ranking of total scores combining non-price rated criteria and pricing, with the top-ranked proponent entering direct negotiations to finalize the agreement. Proponents must submit their proposals in PDF format via a two-envelope system by October 16, providing fixed lump sum fees for each site and hourly rates for staff. Mandatory requirements include compliance with Alberta OHS legislation, a current Workers Compensation Board clearance letter, and adherence to Civida Health and Safety requirements. All deliverables are subject to Civida inspection and acceptance at their place of business.
