About this opportunity
Wasatch Front Regional Council is requesting proposals for consultant services to establish the Utah Station Area Accelerator program, a 20-month initiative to advance station area plans into implementation-ready projects across the greater Salt Lake metropolitan area, with proposals due October 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM MT and questions due October 15, 2026.
The scope spans three distinct consultant roles available for individual or combined proposal: Role A (Innovative Finance and Capital Strategy Advisor), Role B (Station Area Development & Public-Private Partnership Specialist), and Role C (Stakeholder Engagement & Outreach Coordinator). Work is organized in three phases—comprehensive screening and prioritization of certified station area plans statewide, in-depth analysis and financial structuring for 3–5 priority station areas, and credit packaging and toolkit development for regional use. Respondents may propose to one, two, or all three roles.
The total budget is $985,000 in federal Regional Infrastructure Accelerator Grant funding from Build America Bureau, USDOT, with indicative allocations of $475,000 for Role A, $385,000 for Role B, and $125,000 for Role C. Each role includes a firm fixed price for base scope plus an additional services allowance (Role A: $75,000; Role B: $60,000; Role C: $0). All labor, subconsultants, travel, data, and indirect costs are inclusive in the fixed price; no cost reimbursement applies beyond the fixed price except for third-party reports authorized under additional services.
Evaluation occurs in four stages: administrative review, technical scoring (40 points for approach, 25 for team qualifications, 15 for past work), and cost evaluation (20 points). A minimum technical score of 60 out of 80 is required to advance. Award will be made to highest-scoring responsive and responsible offerors; multiple awards are possible across the three roles. Optional interviews are targeted for November 9–13, 2026. Proposals must be submitted as two separate PDF documents (technical and cost) to Andrea Pearson (andrea.pearson@wfrc.utah.gov) with a 1GB per-file limit. No pre-bid conference is scheduled. Clarifications will be posted by October 19, 2026.
