2026 Saratoga Springs Parks Rec Trails and OS Master Plan RFP

The City of Saratoga Springs, Utah, is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms to update and consolidate several key planning documents into one cohesive Parks, Recreation, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan. This project involves integrating the 2020 Master Plan, the March 2026 Trails update, and replacing the 2016 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan with a modern Active Transportation Plan. The resulting document will serve as a strategic guide for the city's growth, investment, and policy decisions regarding active transportation and open space for the next five to ten years. Key requirements include a comprehensive needs assessment, a Level of Service analysis compliant with Utah Impact Fee laws, and a robust public and stakeholder engagement strategy. Proposals are due by November 15, 2026, and will be evaluated on a 100-point scale based on project understanding, engagement strategy, approach to service standards, scheduling capacity, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. The selected firm will enter into an Independent Contractor Agreement and must provide an all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fee. Mandatory requirements include maintaining significant insurance coverage, including 2 million dollars for professional and general liability, and providing performance and payment bonds of 100 percent of the contract price. Final deliverables must be provided in a reproducible, federally accessible PDF format at least three weeks prior to the Planning Commission public hearing.
