Consultant, Climate Action Cost-Benefit Analysis

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
 

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The City of Surrey (the “City”) is inviting Proponents to submit Proposals to develop a preliminary estimate of overall community economic costs and benefits of implementing the Climate Crisis Action Strategy (CCAS), in order to clarify to stakeholders, members of the public, senior management, and Council, the scale of effort and potential opportunities involved, and to build support for adopting and implementing the CCAS. Direct City costs (capital and operating) will also be included. An initial “high-level” model is sought, which can later be updated with more detailed data in some sectors.

The consultant will quantify the costs and model the broad benefits to the community of implementing the CCAS, applying assumptions based on available data, precedents and data from other jurisdictions, and accepted practices and methodology for estimating economic outcomes. As this analysis is intended to provide a preliminary estimate in a short timeframe, select high-priority strategies and actions will be chosen, focusing on those with the highest impact with data available or close at hand. Initial focal areas of interest and available data sources are provided in Attachment 2.
