About this opportunity
North Utah Valley Animal Services Special Service District (NUVASSSD) is seeking professional consulting services to conduct a comprehensive operational assessment of the North Utah Valley Animal Shelter. The Request for Proposal (RFP) aims to evaluate the shelter's current operational capabilities, animal care standards, and future service potential across municipalities including Orem, Vineyard, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and American Fork in Utah County. Key objectives include analyzing existing animal sheltering services, assessing progress toward "no-kill" status, and developing recommendations aligned with industry best practices. The evaluation criteria will weight four primary components: Experience (30%), Quality of Similar Projects (25%), Project Approach and Schedule (20%), and Cost (25%). Specific proposal submission requirements include a 30 single-sided page limit and detailed documentation of firm experience, key personnel, and project methodology. Critical dates for this procurement include a question submission deadline of October 24, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with final proposals due electronically via Utah Public Procurement Place by October 31, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.
The current shelter operates with one Director, one Assistant Director, four Animal Shelter Technicians, and eight part-time Animal Care Attendants, serving an average annual animal intake of 4,871 from 2005 through 2023. The total current budget for NUVASSSD is $1,008,296, which provides context for the potential contract value. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the RFP suggests a competitive procurement process open to qualified consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in animal shelter operations and organizational assessments. The contract terms and conditions document indicates comprehensive requirements for potential contractors, including mandatory insurance coverage (minimum $1 million per occurrence for commercial general liability), strict confidentiality protocols, and provisions for performance evaluations. Contractors will be expected to comply with state and federal regulations, provide detailed deliverables, and potentially integrate with existing shelter infrastructure and operational systems.
