Request for Proposals for Strategic Planning Consultant

The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City (HASLC) is seeking a Strategic Planning Consultant through a Request for Proposals (RFP 25-003) to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for the organization. The consultant must possess significant experience working with public housing authorities, multi-family housing, and affordable housing programs. The primary objective is to guide HASLC's Board of Commissioners and Executive Staff in defining the organization's long-term direction and developing strategies to maximize affordable housing program impacts. The strategic plan will cover a five-year horizon and consist of two primary components: business systems and aspirational "people" systems. Key deliverables include a complete strategic plan document, presentations to HASLC leadership and staff, and actionable implementation recommendations. The strategic planning process is expected to begin within 30 days of contract award and conclude within three to five months. The proposal is due on August 23, 2025, and the opportunity was initially posted on July 29, 2025, with two accompanying documents: a main RFP document and an exhibits file.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the procurement appears to be open to qualified consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in strategic planning for housing authorities. The consultant will be expected to work closely with a Strategic Planning Committee comprising Board Members and designated staff, engaging both internal and external stakeholders throughout the process. Two government files are attached to the opportunity: a 192KB PDF titled "2-RFP 25-003 QA - Strategic Plan Consultant" and a 4MB PDF titled "1-2025.07.28.RFP 25-003.Consultant.Strategic Plan". The documents are likely to contain more detailed information about submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and potential budgetary considerations. While a specific budget range is not mentioned in the summary, the complexity of the strategic planning effort suggests a substantial professional services contract commensurate with the scope and duration of the project.
