Comprehensive Update to the Sacramento County Transportation Development Fee/Transit Impact Fee (SCTDF/TIF) Program

Sacramento County's Community Services Agency Department of Transportation is seeking a qualified consultant or team to conduct a comprehensive update to the Sacramento County Transportation Development Fee/Transit Impact Fee (SCTDF/TIF) Program. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was published on May 9, 2025, with proposals due by June 6, 2025, targeting an update to the fee program last comprehensively revised in 2019. The primary objectives include analyzing current transportation infrastructure policies, evaluating development fee methodologies, and preparing documentation for Board of Supervisors approval. Key deliverables will involve technical analysis utilizing the SACSIM model, examining new development growth assumptions, trip generations, and ensuring compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act. The evaluation process will award a maximum of 100 points across four criteria: completeness of RFQ submission (10 points), transportation development fee experience (40 points), general project approach (40 points), and unique qualifications (10 points). The selected consultant will work directly with SacDOT and coordinate with county and external agencies, with an anticipated implementation of updated fees by April 2027 or earlier.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will ultimately be awarded based on comprehensive qualifications, with the total maximum payment amount to be determined during contract negotiations. Sacramento County reserves the right to negotiate both pricing and project scope. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the project's complexity suggests a potentially substantial contract value. The geographic scope encompasses the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County, with the primary goal of funding improvements to major roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities needed to accommodate travel demand generated by new development. The project will require robust coordination with multiple stakeholders and demonstrate expertise in transportation infrastructure fee programming and municipal development planning.
