Description

**Describe the task**
Implement a new geocoding service using the BC Geocoder API endpoint. This service will be responsible for handling all address geocoding operations in the application and will be made available through the services directory.

**Purpose**
To provide standardized geocoding capabilities across the application using BC's official geocoding service, ensuring accurate and consistent location data for all address-related features.

**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] Create new geocoding service in the services directory
- [ ] Implement integration with BC Geocoder API endpoint
- [ ] Add configuration for API endpoint and credentials
- [ ] Implement the following core features:
- Address validation
- Forward geocoding (address to coordinates)
- Reverse geocoding (coordinates to address)
- Batch geocoding capabilities
- [ ] Add proper error handling and retry logic
- [ ] Implement response caching for frequently requested addresses
- [ ] Add comprehensive logging for geocoding operations
- [ ] Create unit and integration tests
- [ ] Add API documentation

**Additional context**
- BC Geocoder API documentation should be referenced
- Cache implementation should consider data freshness
- Consider implementing address standardization
- Document any address format requirements
