The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) invites qualified proponents to submit proposals for the Heliport Management Services Contract (the Contract) to oversee the management of the Whistler Municipal Heliport (WMH).

The WMH is situated on Crown land, leased by the Province of British Columbia to the RMOW for heliport operations. The site includes six designated areas for lease to qualified helicopter companies, as well as a larger area where itinerant helicopters can land for a fee. The selected proponent will serve as the “Heliport Ambassador,” overseeing all aspects of the daily operations and maintenance of the WMH.

This Contract is envisioned as a 1-year pilot project (November 2024 – December 2025), with the potential for extension through to the end of 2026. Individuals or companies are encouraged to propose methodologies that align with the services outlined in this Request for Proposals (RFP) and address potential cost efficiencies. A specific staffing model is not required, recognizing that the services required may not necessitate a full-time position.

Proponents will be paid monthly for specific items outlined in Section 2.1 Scope of Work, with the possibility of additional compensation for pre-approved extra work. We look forward to reviewing innovative proposals that meet the outlined requirements and contribute to the successful management of the WMH.
