Helper City - Review and Update Municipal Code

Helper City, Utah is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure professional services for the comprehensive review and update of its municipal code.

Respondents must submit qualifications demonstrating relevant experience on similar municipal code projects, a high-level process description including stakeholder identification and engagement strategies, technical support and training capabilities, and detailed pricing in either line-item format or a "Not to Exceed" amount. The evaluation criteria utilize a 100-point scale: applicant qualifications and references (25 points), previous work experience and familiarity with Helper City facilities (15 points), project understanding and approach (25 points), technical support and training abilities (15 points), and overall project costs (20 points). The RFP was posted on February 13, 2026, with written questions due by 3:00 PM on February 24, 2026, directed to Cole Stapley at cstapley@helpercity.gov.
