Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District- Parks Master Plan

The Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (MSD) is seeking a consultant to develop a comprehensive Parks Master Plan for Brighton, Copperton, Emigration Canyon, Kearns, Magna, White City, and unincorporated Salt Lake County. The project involves creating a district-wide Parks Master Plan and concept-level master plans for specific parks in Copperton, Magna, and White City. The scope of work encompasses six critical tasks: project kick-off, document review, supply/demand and demographic analysis, needs assessment, individual park master plans, and capital planning. Interested consultants must submit three sealed responses including a cover letter, experience statement, key personnel information, and references. The evaluation will utilize a 100-point scoring system, with weighted factors applied across categories including qualifications, experience, service approach, scope of services, and references. Points will range from 15 to 25 per category, with the MSD intending to award a contract to one consultant after thorough evaluation and negotiations. All Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) must be submitted in person or via mail to 860 W. Levoy Dr., Suite 300, Taylorsville, UT 84123 by October 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM MST. Questions are to be submitted in writing to Daniele Benigni at dbenigni@msd.utah.gov no later than October 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project aims to ensure district residents have access to high-quality parks and recreation facilities, utilizing National Recreation and Park Association standards adapted to local needs. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the consultant will be expected to integrate the new master plan with existing local infrastructure and recreation resources. The document does not explicitly state a budget range or potential award value for the contract. Respondents should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in parks and recreation planning, with a focus on comprehensive community needs assessment and strategic capital planning. The final deliverables will include a detailed district-wide Parks Master Plan and concept-level master plans for parks in Copperton, Magna, and White City, providing a strategic framework for future park development and improvements across the Municipal Services District.
