Salt Lake City Corporation Request for Proposals SLCI26080 Privacy Consulting Services

Salt Lake City Corporation has issued Request for Proposals SLCI26080 for privacy consulting services to support the City's Chief Privacy Officer and advance organizational privacy program maturity. The procurement targets qualified consultants to provide privacy impact assessments, strategic guidance, and subject matter expertise in compliance with Utah public sector legal and operational requirements. Key deliverables include conducting a comprehensive Privacy Impact Assessment of the Real Time Crime Center and associated technologies, developing or refining privacy training materials, reviewing emerging technologies and vendor documentation for privacy compliance, providing annual privacy maturity assessment reports using frameworks such as the NIST Privacy Framework, and serving as on-call advisors for complex privacy matters. Required qualifications include a minimum of five years of relevant experience with Utah privacy law and guidance, a team member holding a Juris Doctor degree with dual privacy certifications (CIPM and CIPP-US), and full disclosure of any generative artificial intelligence technology usage with detailed safeguards. The evaluation process consists of three stages: initial review for responsiveness and mandatory minimum requirements, technical and policy criteria evaluation totaling 630 points (with a minimum 378-point threshold of 60 percent required to advance), and cost proposal evaluation worth 270 points, for a total evaluation framework of 900 points. The deadline for proposal submission is February 27, 2026, with proposals submitted electronically through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website. The resulting contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible offeror with the highest overall score and will have an initial five-year term with the option for City extension up to four months.

The solicitation does not identify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises; however, policy criteria evaluation includes assessment of disadvantaged business enterprise participation, apprenticeships, and local small business considerations as a component of the technical evaluation scoring. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Selected offerors must register with the State of Utah, SAM.gov, and E-Verify prior to contract execution. The contract requires contractors to maintain professional liability insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 annual aggregate, along with commercial general liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured with $1,000,000 per occurrence limits. Pricing must be guaranteed for the initial contract year, with price adjustments permitted annually up to the lesser of three percent or the percentage increase in the Producer Price Index, provided requests are submitted at least thirty days prior to each contract anniversary. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documents, the cost proposal template accommodates up to twelve position line items with individual hourly rates, suggesting a flexible staffing model where costs will be determined based on the volume and complexity of task orders issued by the City throughout the contract term.
