NS27-121 Wasatch Front Regional Council - Planning & Model Development Consultant Pool

The Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) and Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) are establishing a Planning and Model Development Consultant Pool for the 2026-2028 period. This procurement utilizes a Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) process, meaning cost is not a factor in the initial evaluation and ranking of submissions. The scope of work involves qualifying professional services across various project categories, with a specific focus on model development deliverables such as the automation of input data preparation and the refinement of model estimation and calibration. To maintain standing in the pool, selected consultants must submit a Requalification Certification Form every 18 months, and the entire pool will refresh at the end of 2028. Applicants must submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) as a PDF via email to Andrea Pearson by 12:00 PM on November 19, 2026, with all inquiries submitted by November 5, 2026. The SOQ must follow a strict format, including a cover page with the firm's Federal ID Number, a nine-page statement of overall qualifications and an average rate schedule, and up to three pages per selected project category. Evaluation is based on skills (50 points), relevant projects (40 points), and project management experience (10 points), with a minimum composite score of 70 points and at least 70 percent of the points in each individual category required for admission. A Certificate of Liability Insurance must also be included with the submission.
