Wood Buffalo Economic Development Corporation - Request for Proposal - Regional Industrial Land & Infrastructure Feasibility Study

The Wood Buffalo Economic Development Corporation is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Regional Industrial Land & Infrastructure Feasibility Study to guide industrial development and investment attraction in Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo. The selected proponent must deliver a detailed, evidence-based analysis that identifies priority industrial land sites and outlines a clear, actionable pathway to advance at least one site to development readiness, ensuring outputs are decision-ready rather than merely high-level. The study is expected to provide robust recommendations that support strategic planning, infrastructure investment, and economic growth tailored to the region’s unique industrial and logistical context. Proposals must be submitted by May 21, 2026, at 5:30 PM MST, with the solicitation posted on April 29, 2026, under reference number AB-2026-02839. The contracting authority is Sherry Spencer, reachable via email at Proposals@fmwb.ca, and the work is to be performed within Alberta. While the solicitation is issued by the Wood Buffalo Economic Development Corporation, it is classified under the Government of Canada’s federal procurement framework, indicating alignment with broader national economic development priorities. There is no specified set-aside or NAICS code, and the procurement is open to qualified proponents capable of delivering complex, ground-level industrial land analysis with practical implementation pathways.
