Heartland Activity Requires: Potable Water Rail Facilities General Access Roads Heavy Haul Roads Strathcona County is a partner in infrastructure improvements through CIAC Agreements (Contribution in Aid of Construction), or site specific contribution agreements; these projects often require the assistance of consulting engineers to help us implement the work. 1/18/2018 26
Emerging Issues Procurement Changes (goods, services, construction) Adjusting to CFTA and CETA Requirements longer tender periods for major construction; requirement to post bid results (including consulting RFP s) on APC No longer having public tender openings (at Strathcona County) Cannot accept free advice in preparing scope or terms of reference for an RFP if that consultant wants to propose; Negotiated format RFP s (BAFO or Best and Final Offer - similar to Quality Based Selection) Considering Pre-Qualification for Construction Contractors Updating Design and Construction Standards in review with UDI Redesigned Strathcona County Website more user friendly topic based 1/18/2018 27
