Scoping Intelligence (Excerpt)

Planning-level site summary: data as of July 2026

32 government sources searched96 records retrieved2 findings for this bid

Preliminary scoping for a greenfield industrial logistics facility on serviced fringe land. Municipal open data indicates I-G industrial zoning with no mapped regulatory floodplain at the site location. Stormwater management and haul-route coordination are the primary schedule risks. All regulatory assumptions require verification with the City of Calgary before fee proposal.

Findings

moderate
Archaeology potential. Provincial heritage screening flags assessment potential; confirm requirements with Alberta Arts before ground disturbance.
moderate
Permitting triggers. Development Permit and Stormwater Management Plan approval both likely; timelines below are from municipal sources.

Budget range (planning-level)

$185,000 – $265,000 CAD

Planning-level parametric estimate from firm rate-card defaults and regional industrial site-civil benchmarks. Excludes geotechnical field program, detailed utility design, and construction-phase services.
