Professional Consulting Services to Develop Watercourse Evaluation and Risk Management Assessment Program

The City of Hamilton requires professional consulting services to develop a risk-based condition assessment and prioritization framework for City-owned watercourse segments. The selected vendor will summarize existing industry best practices, refine evaluation tools for City use, and establish criteria for asset-level and corridor-level risk assessments. These deliverables will help rank watercourse rehabilitation projects, protect public safety, and guide long-term capital forecasting in conformance with ISO 31000:2018 guidelines. Eligibility is restricted to onshore vendors in Canada, and the work requires both offsite and onsite performance over a one-year contract term. Applicants must submit electronic proposal submissions through the City's Bidding System by 3:00 PM Hamilton time on Monday, December 14, 2026. Bidders can view solicitation documents online for free or purchase them for $65.99 plus applicable fees. The solicitation requires no proposal, performance, or labor and material payment security.
