Development Cost Charges Bylaw Update

The City of West Kelowna is inviting qualified consultants to develop an updated Development Cost Charge (DCC) Bylaw and Program to support sustainable community growth and ensure adequate funding for capital infrastructure projects outlined in the city’s master plans. The DCC Bylaw will establish a structured fee system to recover the costs of public infrastructure necessary to accommodate new development, promoting efficient growth while maintaining financial accountability and encouraging responsible development. The consultant will be responsible for comprehensive analysis, stakeholder engagement, regulatory compliance, and drafting of the updated bylaw to align with provincial requirements and municipal objectives. Solicitation number BC2026-P023 was posted on June 3, 2026, with a submission deadline of June 29, 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 925120, reflecting public administration services, and is issued directly by the City of West Kelowna under its municipal governance authority. Although the solicitation portal references the Government of Canada, the contracting entity is the City of West Kelowna, and the work is to be performed locally to serve municipal needs. Interested parties must submit proposals through the Canada Buys platform, with direct inquiries to Andrew Sandre, the Contracting Authority, at andrew.sandre@westkelownacity.ca. The consultant will be expected to deliver a legally sound, technically robust, and community-aligned DCC framework that supports long-term fiscal planning and infrastructure resilience.
