Town of Alta- Architectural Feasibility and Programming

The Town of Alta is soliciting proposals for an architectural feasibility and programming study for a proposed new facility located at 10351 E, Little Cottonwood Road, Alta, Utah. The project aims to address municipal building needs identified in a Facilities Master Plan, specifically focusing on the replacement or renovation of unsustainable or structurally deficient facilities. The selected consultant will be responsible for conducting site assessments, determining facility program elements, developing construction budget estimates, creating schematic designs, and providing strategic recommendations for next steps. A key requirement of the project is ensuring year-round ADA accessibility to and within the Town Office building. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via the U3P-Bonfire portal by 5:00 PM MST on October 6, 2026, and must not exceed 30 pages or 20 MB. All written questions are due by September 30, 2026. The Town will award the contract to the most advantageous respondent based on a weighted decision matrix evaluating experience, qualifications, and price. Required submission materials include a statement of project understanding, firm qualifications with three comparable project references, a project team organizational chart with resumes, a detailed methodology, a project schedule, proof of insurance, and a summary of any legal proceedings from the past three years. The resulting agreement will require the design professional to comply with the Utah Procurement Code, the Utah Municipal Officers and Employees Ethics Act, and E-Verify requirements. The contractor must maintain insurance naming the Town as an additional insured and retain all project records for six years following the expiration of the agreement. Payments will be made monthly within 30 days of invoice receipt, with continued funding subject to the Town Council's annual budget approval. Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice.
