Salt Lake City Corporation SLCI27017 Professional Services Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 108 and Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) Consulting

Salt Lake City Corporation is seeking qualified professional service providers to deliver consulting support for its participation in the HUD Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program and Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) designation. The solicitation, identified as SLCI27017, invites submissions through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) portal by August 13, 2026, with no late submissions accepted. The contract will be awarded to the most qualified, responsible, and responsive offeror based on technical expertise rather than price, as cost proposals are explicitly excluded from submission. The total contract value is capped at $75,000, with an initial three-year term that may be extended by up to four months by mutual agreement. Performance is demand-driven, with services rendered at locations designated by the City, primarily supporting the Housing Stability Division. Key deliverables include conducting feasibility assessments, preparing complete HUD applications, performing environmental reviews under 24 CFR Part 58, developing NRSA strategy documents, and providing ongoing technical assistance throughout the loan approval process. Contractors must comply with Salt Lake City Code Chapter 2.44, federal HUD guidelines, and state and federal data privacy laws including GDPA. Essential requirements include disclosing any actual or potential conflicts of interest, certifying that the firm is not debarred or suspended by any government entity, and affirming adherence to ethical standards regarding gifts or incentives to city officials. Insurance mandates require workers’ compensation, general liability, and full indemnification for liabilities, particularly data breaches, for which the contractor assumes all associated costs. Documentation must be submitted electronically in unencrypted Word, Excel, or PDF formats via the U3P portal, with no compressed, multimedia, or password-protected files permitted. Proposals must include a cover sheet and a narrative, point-by-point response to all mandatory requirements—excessive or irrelevant content risks rejection. The City retains full audit rights and the authority to terminate the contract immediately upon material breach with seven days’ notice. Key personnel, including the Project Manager, must be identified with qualifications and responsibilities detailed in the submission, and all work products become the sole property of Salt Lake City upon delivery. There are no formal FAR clauses, CAGE or UEI requirements, socioeconomic set-asides, or specified payment or invoicing protocols, reflecting a distinct municipal procurement framework governed by local policies and contractual terms rather than federal acquisition regulations.
