REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Asset Management Consulting Services

Issued: Wednesday, September 7, 2022
Closing Time: 2:00 pm (local time), Monday, October 26, 2022 Note: due to the delay in publishing the addendum (see link below), closing time has been extended.
Closing Location: Regional District of Kootenay Boundary - 202 - 843 Rossland Ave, Trail, BC, Canada, V1R 4S8
Contact Person: Barbara Ihlen, General Manager of Finance/CFO - 250-368-0243

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is an invitation by Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) to prospective proponents to submit proposals for Asset Management Consulting Services.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary recognizes the importance of asset management plans and the role that they will play in long- and short-term decision making as well as the significance of the information to the annual and long-term budgeting process. An asset management plan is a long term, living document that needs to be consistently updated as new information becomes available. The RDKB is looking to implement an asset management plan and improving the framework around collecting and maintaining asset information.

The RDKB is seeking to select a qualified consultant to assist the Regional District in developing a comprehensive state of the infrastructure report, asset management policy and strategy, proposed levels of service, and a financial strategy to meet its infrastructure challenge over the medium and long term. The work includes a comprehensive program that improves the internal understanding of Asset Management within the organization (i.e. Board of Directors and staff) and the ability of RDKB staff to maintain the data and reports going forward. Therefore, the RDKB is interested in gaining a better understanding of the resources required to have an effective asset management system. While funding for this work has been approved in the Five-Year Financial Plan, the consultant will also prepare grant applications that will support this work to leverage as much funding as possible to ensure there are resources available to successfully complete the project. The successful proponent must have asset management experience working with Regional Districts in British Columbia.
