On-call Planning Services

The City of Fort Lupton, Colorado is requesting qualifications from planners and planning firms for on-call or as-needed planning services, with proposals due October 23, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. MDT through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing/BidNet System. Preference will be given to firms with Colorado presence and experience.

The scope encompasses general planning-related development and land use project review, technical plan checks for planning documents and maps, map review, and compliance review against the City's Land Use Code, Ordinances, and Regulations. The anticipated emphasis is development review, with level of review determined by project capacity and complexity as coordinated with the City. The selected firm may also be asked to consult with planning staff and provide guidance on complex planning problems and opportunities.

The City reserves the right to select one primary firm or multiple planners or planning firms. Proposals must not exceed 25 pages and must include a cover letter, firm background, Colorado municipal government experience, resumes of primary and alternate planners, rates for personnel and reimbursable expenses, conflict of interest disclosures, client references, and a signed authorization form. Selection is qualifications-based, with evaluation criteria including understanding of work, technical skills, team expertise, familiarity with local and state procedures, client references, cost approach, ability to meet deadlines and budgets, and compliance with submission requirements.

Questions are due October 8, 2026, with responses posted by October 12, 2026. The City anticipates selection by end of October 2026 and contract execution by end of November 2026. The selected firm will be paid on invoices as satisfactory work is completed under the City's standard Services Agreement and must maintain required insurance coverage. No specific contract term length, renewal options, or funding amount is stated.
