Forestry and Parks - Request for Proposal - Water & Wastewater Systems Professional Consulting Services - Provincial Water and Wastewater Regulatory Requirements Throughout the Province
Solicitation # AB-2026-05394
Alberta Parks is seeking qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive province-wide assessment of its potable water and wastewater systems to ensure full compliance with provincial regulatory requirements under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Water Act, Public Health Act drinking-water standards, and other directives from Alberta Environment and Protected Areas. These systems, used across seasonal and year-round recreational facilities, vary widely in size, configuration, and operational cycles, leading to inconsistent monitoring, reporting, and compliance tracking due to differing regional practices and high seasonal staff turnover. The absence of standardized processes has hindered Alberta Parks’ ability to reliably verify compliance, detect gaps, and implement consistent improvements across regions. To resolve this, the project will identify all regulatory obligations for each facility, evaluate current adherence, and provide actionable recommendations to close compliance gaps. The outcome will include a standardized Regulatory Compliance Key Performance Indicator Matrix and a centralized annual dashboard to visually display regional performance, enabling assured, annual confirmation that all water and wastewater compliance obligations are consistently met across the province. The solicitation, AB-2026-05394, is open for proposals until August 31, 2026, with Shaun Polley, Project Manager, serving as the primary point of contact.
