RSOQ Consultant Services to Develop Park City Transit's Phase II Zero Emission Transition Plan

Park City Municipal Corporation is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from experienced consultants to develop Phase II of the Park City Transit Zero Emission Transition Plan. This effort is part of Park City's ongoing commitment to transition its transit fleet towards 100% zero-emission bus service, building on previous planning work and current electric bus initiatives. The project scope includes a comprehensive assessment of fleet and infrastructure, feasibility analysis of fuel mixes, seasonal performance evaluation, staff training needs, change management planning, scenario modeling, and federal compliance reporting. Deliverables will include updated infrastructure and fleet inventories, analytical reports, transition scenarios, and a detailed final transition plan aligned with applicable federal, state, and local standards and regulations. The contract requires strict adherence to a suite of Federal Transit Administration mandated clauses covering areas such as civil rights, equal employment opportunity, disadvantaged business enterprise participation, Buy America provisions, lobbying restrictions, and data rights. The selection process emphasizes technical qualifications, particularly the consultant team’s experience, client references, organizational and personnel qualifications, and approach to project execution, weighted heavily over price. Submission must follow a specified electronic format and be delivered by January 9, 2026, through the designated Utah Public Procurement Place portal. The contract incorporates stringent inspection, audit, and reporting requirements with government access to records, ensuring compliance with FTA and local regulations. While price factors into final award decisions, the contract will be awarded based on a trade-off process prioritizing the highest-rated technical proposals. Key personnel certifications, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and good-faith efforts to engage disadvantaged business enterprises are mandatory, and all federal clauses must flow down to subcontractors.
