Request for Proposal
Assessing flood adaptation solutions in Hampton, NB
(HAM-RFP-AFAS)
The town of Hampton is looking for Engineering Consulting Services (proponent) that specializes in Flood Adaptation, Hydrology and/or Hydraulics to complete an assessment of flood adaptation solutions for three (3) areas identified as high flood risk in Hampton's Climate Adaptation Plan (2021). This is a federally funded project with a budget of approximately $80,000.00 (HST incl.).
Hampton is located 35 km northeast of Saint John, New Brunswick. The municipality is home to 9,320 people and spans approximately 300 km2. Hampton's rolling hills, waterways, farmland, wildlife and world-renowned marsh areas are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Natural features and heritage, such as wetlands, rivers, waterways and escarpments, play a major role in defining the character of the municipality, though it also has a variety of shops, services, and recreational facilities
which are enjoyed by residents and visitors.
Hampton is bisected by the Kennebecasis River, a tributary of the Saint John River, which flows into the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy experiences the largest tides in the world and the impacts of this can be felt in Hampton with daily fluctuations of the tide. The Kennebecasis River has also experienced record levels of flooding multiple times within the last ten years due to the expansive size of both the Kennebecasis River and Saint John River Watersheds, and heavy snowpack in the north of
the province. The chosen study sites are areas where smaller streams that manage stormwater from higher elevations of Hampton, interact with the Kennebecasis River. The combination of sea level rise, seasonal flooding and increased rainfall events create a unique series of impacts to the community.
The projected start date of the project is mid March 2025 following Council's award of the project, with a completion date in early September 2025 for the Draft Report in preparation for 2026/2027 Capital Funding Opportunities, and Final Report being submitted prior to December 1, 2025.
