The November 2021 extreme weather event had caused flooding in various parts of the City, and most notably the widespread flooding in the Sumas Prairie, due to the Nooksack River overflow from Whatcom County in the United States of America.

The Province is facilitating consultation with First Nations on this project.
Scope of Services
This is continuous work of the scope of services of the following:
- Attend consultation meetings
- Present best practices, options and preferred option reviewed as part of the Flood Risk Mitigation Program.
- Respond to questions and provide technical support during the consultation process.
Rationale for Contemplating a Direct Award
The City is contemplating a direct award with the Supplier for the following reasons:
- With the objectives of public security and safety and the protection of human, animal and plant life and health and due to the unpredictability of severe weather events, it is important that the provision of services be expedited as delays increase the risks of Sumas Prairie being exposed to the same magnitude of the flood risk seen in November 2021.
- Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd is mid-stream with the existing process and the process requires continuity to meet the timelines. KWL completed various studies on the Sumas Prairie, including the recent long-term flood mitigation options for Sumas Prairie, 2018 Drainage Master Plan, and the 2020 Nooksack River Overflow Flood Mitigation Plan. In addition, KWL had provided technical support to the City during the November 2021 extreme weather event.
The value of the contract is expected not to exceed $1,100,000.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.
