Saskatchewan - Torch River Lidar

The Water Security Agency is seeking to procure a high-quality lidar dataset to capture bare earth elevations across the Torch River area in Saskatchewan. This procurement aims to support the agency’s mandate in water management, including flood and drought mitigation, water supply protection, and aquatic habitat conservation. The solicitation, numbered 2026-27-0154, was posted on July 30, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026. Proposals must deliver precise topographic data that meets stringent accuracy and coverage standards to ensure effective hydrological modeling and infrastructure planning. The agency, a Crown corporation governed by Saskatchewan legislation, is responsible for the province’s water resources and requires this dataset to inform long-term environmental and safety initiatives. All submissions must be directed to the designated point of contact, Shayne MacDonald, at tendersubmissions@wsask.ca, and responses are to be submitted through the official Saskatchewan tenders portal. The contract is not subject to any set-aside provisions and is open to eligible providers with the technical capability to deliver airborne lidar services meeting the agency’s specifications. The data will be used exclusively within Saskatchewan for public water resource management purposes, ensuring alignment with the agency’s legal obligations and strategic objectives. The place of performance is confined to the Torch River region within the province, and all delivered datasets must adhere to rigorous quality control protocols to guarantee consistent, reliable elevation measurements.
