About this opportunity
Brian Head Town in Iron County, Utah is seeking a professional consulting firm to provide comprehensive Trails Planning & Permitting Services for the proposed "Lightning Point Trail" project. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits qualified firms to evaluate, plan, and permit a non-motorized hiking and biking trail connection between Brian Head and Cedar Breaks National Monument through the Dixie National Forest. Key deliverables include a 30% conceptual trail design using LiDAR data, USFS permitting, NEPA compliance, resource surveys, and potential final design pending funding availability. The proposal evaluation will be based on specific criteria: firm qualifications (30 points), project approach (10 points), time frame (10 points), past performance (10 points), sample report evaluation (10 points), and cost proposal (30 points). The RFP is supported by the Utah Outdoor Recreation Planning Assistance (ORPA) Program and has support from the Dixie National Forest. Proposals are due on October 27, 2025, by 5:00 PM Mountain Time, to be submitted via email to Bret Howser at bhowser@bhtown.utah.gov, with a 1GB file upload limit.
The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement is open to professional planning and design firms with demonstrated expertise in trail planning, environmental permitting, and USFS collaboration. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project involves working closely with multiple government entities including Brian Head Town, Dixie National Forest, and potentially Cedar Breaks National Monument. The RFP indicates that the contract will be awarded to the highest-scoring firm, though a specific budget range or maximum award value is not disclosed in the available documentation. The ultimate goal is to create a trail connection that could potentially serve as a future paved trail extension, enhancing recreational opportunities in the region. Interested firms should carefully review the full RFP document to ensure complete compliance with all requirements and submission guidelines.
