Climate Change Adaptation Plan Service

Haldimand County, a municipal authority located in Ontario, is seeking a vendor to conduct a community-wide climate risk assessment of core municipal services and develop a comprehensive climate change adaptation plan. The agency is trying to enhance the municipality's resilience to climate impacts by establishing a practical, community-informed adaptation framework. This project requires the selected vendor to provide expertise, training, and guidance to municipal staff while preparing collaborative project deliverables. The scope of work covers designing and implementing an inclusive stakeholder engagement and communication strategy that involves municipal departments, jurisdictional Conservation Authorities, community residents, local businesses, Indigenous communities, and diverse equity-deserving groups. The agency requires the final plan to align with existing Haldimand County plans, policies, and operational frameworks while ensuring compliance with applicable environmental standards and regulatory requirements. The vendor must perform all work offsite and develop a strategic roadmap that ensures effective, equitable, and sustainable climate change adaptation solutions. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in Canada. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the project budget, and bidders must register and pay a fee on the tendering authority's website to obtain the official request for proposals document without a watermark. The agency requires all questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 25, 2026.
