Pole Painting Engineering Study

The City of Vancouver is seeking a qualified consultant to produce an engineering study that will define a city‑wide on‑site pole‑painting program for street‑lighting, traffic‑signal, and Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) poles. The study must assess existing conditions, technical feasibility, regulatory compliance, surface‑preparation methods, risk assessments, cost estimates, and an implementation roadmap. Deliverables include a technical memorandum, a pole‑painting guidance manual, standard specifications, a Class D cost estimate, risk assessment, and a phased implementation strategy, all signed and sealed by a BC‑registered Professional Engineer. • Evaluate current pole conditions, lead‑based paint presence, and associated hazards. • Develop technical and regulatory frameworks for on‑site repainting, including safety and environmental controls. • Produce detailed specifications, cost estimates, risk mitigation plans, and a phased implementation roadmap for the City.
