FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) awarded the Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan tender to Diamond Head Consulting, based out of Vancouver.
The Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan is the planning component of the 2023 FireSmart program, which is slated to cost approximately $133,730.
A grant for a total of $400,000 was secured from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) Community Resiliency Investment Program to fund a FireSmart campaign in the district for 2023.
The planning component includes developing a community wildfire resilience plan for each electoral area, developing and coordinating a regional Community FireSmart Resiliency Committee and assessing water delivery ability in rural communities outside fire protection areas.
Due to the funding coming from the UBCM, pricing was not a significant factor in the board’s decision.
Instead, each company was ranked on experience, qualifications, methodology and work schedule.
