Alberta Infrastructure

Background:

Alberta Infrastructure, with the advice of a task group that includes representatives of the engineering and architectural consulting services sector, has made recommendations on procedures to address the need for compliance in architectural and engineering consultant selection consistent with the British Columbia – Alberta Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA).

The TILMA Task Group agreed that the opportunity for architectural and engineering consultants to be oriented to the proposed vendor registration and consultant selection process must be provided. Two orientation sessions were held (Jan. 13 in Calgary and Jan.15 in Edmonton) and two additional sessions will be held.
 
Purposes:

The orientation sessions will

1. Update consultants providing architectural and engineering services on TILMA compliance requirements  
2. Outline the process and collaborative participation of AAA and CEA representatives in the preparation of the Alberta Infrastructure architectural and engineering consultant selection process;
3. Provide an overview of the proposed vendor registry system including its purpose and use by Alberta Infrastructure and the expected roles and responsibilities of consultants for information accuracy and updates;
4. Highlight the key elements of the architectural and engineering consultant selection process;
5. Solicit questions of clarity on the proposal for the architectural and engineering services consultant selection process from those attending the session; and
6. Describe ongoing collaborative roles of the AAA and CEA in communicating opportunities and evaluation of the process and system.
