RFQ27DSE002- WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION IN THE KOOTENAY BOUNDARY REGION Treatment Implementation

Suppliers are invited to respond to RFQ27DSE002 to be considered for inclusion on the Ministry of Forests’ Multi-Use List of Qualified Suppliers for wildfire risk reduction treatment services in the Kootenay Boundary Region. The solicitation, issued under BC226936, is open for responses until March 24, 2031, and operates on a non-exclusive, as-needed basis, meaning qualified suppliers will be contacted with Competition Notices only when specific service opportunities arise, and no such notices will be issued before the initial intake period. Only suppliers who successfully qualify through this process will be eligible to compete for future contracts, ensuring that all work under this initiative is performed by pre-vetted entities. The evaluation process includes not only the supplier’s overall qualifications but also the assessment of specific employees or subcontractors proposed to perform the work, meaning key personnel must be identified and approved as part of the response. These evaluated individuals will be required to deliver services if a subsequent contract is awarded. All interested parties must thoroughly review the full solicitation and submit their response in accordance with section 7 guidelines to be considered for qualification.
