Publicly Available Specification - Coastal Project Options Appraisal Guide

The Standards Council of Canada is seeking a supplier to develop a Publicly Available Specification designed to assist Canadian communities in conducting coastal project options appraisals. This guide will establish protocols for evaluating grey, nature-based, and hybrid approaches to coastal resilience, aiming to standardize the methodologies and tools used to integrate ecological goods and services into the appraisal process. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to ensure that ecological considerations are routinely included in the options appraisal for all infrastructure projects across Canada. This federal solicitation, identified by number 2024-05, is managed by the Standards Council of Canada and applies to performance across the country.
