Wastewater and Water Systems Energy Audit

The District of Squamish is soliciting proposals under solicitation R26-64 for a qualified consultant to perform an Integrated Energy Audit (IEA) of its water and wastewater systems, which represent approximately 50% of the District's total electricity consumption. The scope of work encompasses the Mamquam Wastewater Treatment Plant, 23 lift stations, a well/reservoir, and four pump stations. The project is structured in two phases: Phase 1 involves the IEA process, including site walkthroughs and consumption analysis, culminating in a draft audit report due by March 15, 2027, and a prioritized list of energy conservation opportunities. Phase 2 consists of feasibility studies for the top two prioritized opportunities, contingent upon the availability of funding from BC Hydro’s Energy Management Program. To be eligible, the proponent must be a member of the BC Hydro Alliance of Energy Professionals, and the Project Lead must be a certified Professional Engineer. Evaluation is based on rated criteria, with minimum threshold scores of 6/10 required for Experience and Qualifications as well as Workplan and Methodology. Successful awardees must provide a valid District of Squamish Business Licence, a current WorkSafe BC Clearance Letter, and maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least 5 million dollars per occurrence. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bids and Tenders portal by November 9, 2026, with pricing provided as a separate upload from the technical proposal.
