Request for Proposals (RFP): Facilities Master Plan Feasibility Study

South Summit School District (SSSD) in Summit County, Utah, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive Facilities Master Plan Feasibility Study. The district is seeking qualified architect-engineer firms to conduct a long-term capital planning study addressing multiple infrastructure needs, including developing a new elementary school (PK-6), relocating the transportation facility, upgrading athletic facilities, and assessing future secondary school development. Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, with points allocated across responsiveness (5 points), firm history and capabilities (30 points), employee qualifications (25 points), project experience (20 points), references (10 points), and project and cost management (10 points). The RFP requires deliverables including a written feasibility report, conceptual site plans, order-of-magnitude cost estimates, phasing recommendations, and a presentation deck. Key dates include an optional pre-bid meeting on October 2, 2025, at 11:00 am, with proposals due by October 10, 2025, and anticipated firm selection by October 22, 2025. The project is structured across three phases: Phase I (3-5 years), Phase II (5-15 years), and Phase III (15-20 years).

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district anticipates awarding a single contract to the most responsive and highest-scoring vendor. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the study suggests a significant investment in long-term facilities planning. The project involves multiple site locations, including properties in Kamas and Francis, and will require extensive community engagement, including participation in up to three public workshops and meetings. The study will evaluate existing infrastructure, including the current high school site with 325-367 parking stalls, and potential new sites for transportation and educational facilities. The RFP indicates a strategic approach to modernizing educational infrastructure, with considerations for traffic flow, parking, athletic facilities, and future growth of the South Summit School District.
