AMANS Qualified List of Investigators – Municipal Code of Conduct

The following is a list of investigators qualified through the Association of Municipal Administrators, Nova Scotia (AMANS) request for qualification (RFQ) process that closed on January 17, 2025.

AMANS worked with its internal Procurement Committee to evaluate all submissions received. Committee members evaluated each proposal and then met to reach consensus on the proponents. The ten listed organizations were qualified.

Unless otherwise indicated, all investigators met the Procurement Committee’s evaluation thresholds for criteria related to investigations, including corporate/financial, legal/adjudication, and human resources (HR). Each investigator has indicated the capacity to address potential complaints. Should a municipal unit choose to use this list, they will need to verify with the potential investigator if there may be capacity limits with client onboarding.

AMANS has not entered into either a Contract or an Agreement with any of the qualified investigators. The investigators included on this list have been vetted through an internal AMANS RFQ procurement process. It will be the municipal unit’s responsibility to determine an appropriate investigator, as well as facilitate the process of entering into any Contract or Agreement, should the municipality choose to use an investigator on the list. Municipal units should also consider potential internal conflicts of interest if they choose to select a qualified investigator from the list.

AMANS may expand the list at a later date by reissuing the RFQ. AMANS will inform members of any potential changes to the list of qualified investigators as they come forward.
