    The City is in the beginning stages of a public consultation process that will help in determining suitable program usage for the restored building. These options will be presented to Council for review.

    The new pool is complete and was built on budget.  COVID-19 precautions have delayed the opening.

    ishpreet asked over 4 years ago

    We go out to BC bid for engineering design services or ask for 3 quotes directly if the cost is below $75,000 and award. Please provide your contact information and company details. We will complete an assessment, confirm references and possibly schedule a meeting if the experience meets our requirements. Once that is complete, we would contact the firm for potential work and may request quotes for consideration.

    In addition, every three years the City invites interested firms to pre-qualify by submitting proposals through a BC Bid public process (last one was issued January 18, 2019). Proposals are evaluated according to criteria determined in the Request for Qualifications process, which relates to their relevant experience, qualifications, references and overall proposal quality. City of Richmond intends to issue a new pre-qualification process in 2022. Please keep monitoring the BC Bid for all official publications, or feel free to follow up with the City closer to that time.
