Review and Update of Various Special Districts Administered Impact Fee Programs

Sacramento County is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to review and update impact fee programs for seven special districts through a comprehensive two-phase project. The procurement seeks a consultant to evaluate and modify fee programs including the Antelope, Vineyard, Mather, North Vineyard Station, Florin Vineyard Community Plan, Library Facilities, and Consumnes Community Services District Fire Fee Programs. Phase 1 will involve assessing existing fee programs, identifying necessary updates, and developing a comprehensive work plan, while Phase 2 will focus on producing updated fee programs and associated nexus studies in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act. Proposals are limited to 35 pages and must detail the consultant's qualifications, understanding of tasks, experience, service delivery plan, key staff resumes, references, and pricing. The evaluation will be conducted using three primary criteria: quality of proposed services (40 points), experience and qualifications (40 points), and proposal compliance (20 points). Proposals are due by December 13, 2024, and must be submitted electronically through OpenGov Procurement, with the final contract requiring approval from the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.

The Request for Proposal does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposers will be required to complete a Proprietary Information Agreement to protect confidential information submitted as part of the proposal process. The contract will utilize a standard County of Sacramento Professional Services Agreement that includes extensive insurance requirements, mandating coverage types such as general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability with specific minimum coverage limits. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the provided documents, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial consulting engagement. The County reserves the right to negotiate terms, seek clarifications, and potentially award multiple contracts, indicating flexibility in the procurement approach. The project will involve detailed compliance with legislative requirements, including the Mitigation Fee Act and other relevant regulations governing special district impact fee programs.
