Kaslo River Flood Mitigation Planning

The Village of Kaslo, acting under the Government of Canada, is seeking qualified consultants to advance flood mitigation planning along the Kaslo River through a contract titled Kaslo River Flood Mitigation Planning. This initiative follows recent flood protection work completed at five sites funded through the CEPF program and aims to address remaining vulnerable riverbank sections that threaten adjacent properties, roads, and infrastructure from erosion and debris-related flooding. The scope includes conducting a Hazard Risk Vulnerability Assessment to identify three to five priority locations requiring intervention, followed by comprehensive pre-construction engineering services such as tender drawings, material specifications, a schedule of quantities, an environmental plan, and preparation of all necessary permit applications. The goal is to deliver shovel-ready projects prepared for future structural grant funding, with no tendering or construction activity included in this phase. The solicitation, numbered BCKaslo_2026-03, was posted on May 14, 2026, with responses due by May 29, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 541360 for engineering services. Primary contact for inquiries is Ian Dunlop, Contracting Authority, reachable at ian@kaslo.ca.
