# AI workability — Services professionnels pour établir un diagnostic et élaboration d…

*Buyer: Ville de Québec · Source: canadabuys · Closes: 08 Sep 2026 00:00 UTC*

**AI workability: 63%** (majority AI-deliverable) · full RFP read · bid call: **MAYBE**

- Effort: 400 h total · 253 h AI · 147 h human (low confidence)

## Verdict

Majority AI-workable for a professional diagnostic/planning engagement, but human facilitation and compliance are essential; low confidence due to truncated tender documents.

## Bid call

**MAYBE** — The project seems well suited to an AI-agent-first model for diagnostic and drafting work, but the provided documents are truncated and do not confirm scope, evaluation criteria, on-site requirements, or certifications. LCOM compliance is manageable, but the small shop's lack of large municipal references and the unknown contract value warrant caution. A final go/no-go should be made after reviewing the full tender documents.

## Deliverables

| Deliverable | Mode | AI share | Hours |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Document review and data synthesis | ai_agent | 90% | 60 |
| Current-state diagnostic report | ai_assisted | 80% | 100 |
| Development plan / roadmap | ai_assisted | 70% | 120 |
| Workshops and stakeholder consultations | human_only | 0% | 50 |
| Final report and presentation | ai_assisted | 80% | 40 |
| Contract compliance and project management | human_only | 10% | 30 |

## Risks

- **[high]** Tender documents truncated; actual scope unclear — *Obtain full documents via SEAO; clarify scope before bidding.*
- **[high]** LCOM integrity compliance (declaration, RENA, AMP) — *Use a compliance checklist; human sign-off; verify RENA/AMP status.*
- **[medium]** Qualitative evaluation; small shop lacks large municipal references — *Emphasize AI-agent-first methodology; consider teaming with a more established firm.*
- **[low]** On-site workshops in Quebec City add travel and scheduling complexity — *Plan workshops in batches; use hybrid format where acceptable.*
- **[medium]** AI-generated recommendations may miss local political/organizational nuances — *Human validation with client stakeholders; iterative review.*
- **[medium]** Short bidding window (~25 days) — *Use AI for rapid drafting and analysis; mobilize team immediately.*

## Human roles

- **Project director / contract signatory** (15%): Holds legal and financial accountability; signs integrity declaration and contract.
- **Senior consultant / workshop facilitator** (30%): Leads stakeholder workshops and interviews; builds trust with municipal client.
- **Subject matter expert / validation** (25%): Validates diagnostic findings and strategic recommendations for municipal context.
- **Compliance officer (LCOM)** (10%): Manages integrity declaration, RENA/AMP checks, insurance, and contract compliance.
- **Client relationship / on-site presence** (20%): Represents the firm in person, handles presentations and political sensitivities.

## Why not more AI

- Cannot sign legal documents or assume professional/financial liability.
- Cannot facilitate in-person workshops or build trust with municipal stakeholders.
- Cannot perform on-site data collection or observe physical operations.
- May produce plausible but incorrect recommendations if source data is incomplete; requires human validation.
- Cannot provide certified professional sign-off (e.g., P.Eng., CPA) if required.
- Limited understanding of Quebec municipal political and cultural nuances.
