Evaluation of Natural Infrastructure Ecosystem Services

The Ville de Pointe-Claire is issuing a tender for the evaluation of ecosystem services provided by natural infrastructure within its jurisdiction. This procurement falls under the 'Environmental services' category, specifically 'Environmental services,' and utilizes the 'Avis d’appel d’offres' (Notice of Tender) method, indicating a competitive bidding process. The city seeks expert services to assess and quantify the benefits derived from its natural assets, such as parks, green spaces, wetlands, and urban forests. This evaluation is crucial for informing urban planning, environmental management, and sustainable development strategies. The project aims to understand how these natural infrastructures contribute to ecological health, climate resilience, and the well-being of residents, for example, through water purification, air quality improvement, and recreational opportunities. The selected consultant will be responsible for developing and implementing a methodology to measure these services, likely involving ecological surveys, data analysis, and modeling. The findings will help the city prioritize conservation efforts, integrate natural infrastructure into development projects, and potentially identify opportunities for funding or policy development related to ecosystem services. This initiative underscores the Ville de Pointe-Claire's commitment to environmental stewardship and the recognition of the intrinsic value of its natural capital.
