Doc1797382186 - RFP - Broad Coverage Flood Hazard Datasets

This Request for Proposals (the 'RFP') is an invitation by the Province of Nova Scotia (the 'Province') to prospective proponents to submit proposals for the provision ofBroad Coverage Flood Hazard Datasetsto theDepartment of Environment and Climate Change (ECC). This RFP is being conducted pursuant to the Nova Scotia Sustainable Procurement Policy and Procurement Manual. At ECC, a key focus of the Climate Change Division is to adapt to our changing climate. Flooding was identified as a top climate hazard of concern in the 2022 Climate Change Risk Assessment and was identified as an action area within the provincial Climate Plan ('Our Climate, Our Future: Nova Scotia’s Climate Change Plan for Clean Growth'). Understanding the distribution and nature of flood risks is foundational to strengthening and coordinating the province’s response to flooding. This understanding will allow us to better shape and target programs and policies that reduce the impacts of flooding to Nova Scotians. To this end, ECC seeks to secure access to broad coverage flood hazard datasets.
