South Salt Lake Downtown Circulation and Transportation Master Plan

The City of South Salt Lake is seeking qualified consultants to develop a comprehensive Downtown Circulation and Transportation Master Plan under Solicitation Number PN 2026-17, with a NAICS code of 541370 and a budget ceiling of $150,000. The project requires a multimodal analysis that addresses traffic patterns, trip generation, mixed-use mobility, grid development, access management, gateway analysis of up to five key intersections, shared parking studies, and the creation of a phased implementation strategy aligned with transit-oriented development and housing goals. The successful proposer must deliver a final plan that includes public presentations and formal adoption, all within a 12-month timeline. Proposals must be submitted as a single, ten-page PDF through the Utah Public Procurement Portal by July 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MST, with no separate attachments permitted. The evaluation criteria focus on project understanding, qualifications and relevant experience, proposed timeline and execution feasibility, and cost proposal transparency, though specific weighting is not defined. A pre-proposal meeting is optional and must be registered for in advance, with all inquiries and addenda posted exclusively on UP3. Proposers must submit a detailed work plan, bio, experience with references, and a comprehensive budget including labor, travel, lodging, insurance, materials, and contingency for unanticipated costs. The selected consultant will act as an independent contractor, not an employee of the City, and must carry liability insurance of at least $2 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, with an AM Best rating of A– or better, as well as workers’ compensation coverage with employer’s liability of $1 million per accident, disease, or employee. The contractor is responsible for all applicable taxes and must indemnify the City against claims arising from performance under the agreement. Subcontracting requires prior written approval, and assignment of rights or obligations is prohibited without City consent. The City owns all deliverables upon payment, and confidentiality obligations persist after contract termination. Records of costs must be maintained on a GAAP basis for five years after final payment and made available for audit. Invoicing occurs monthly based on actual costs incurred, with percentages of completion and breakdowns of direct and indirect expenses required, and payment is due within 30 calendar days. The consultant must also certify compliance with Utah’s Status Verification System for employee eligibility and disclose any conflicts of interest.
