SLCo FAC090425 SLCo ADC Master Plan Update Phase 2 - RFI Notice of Sole Source

Salt Lake County is pursuing a sole source procurement with CGL Companies, Utah LLC for Phase 2 of the Adult Detention Center (ADC) Master Plan Update, with a Request for Information (RFI) notice issued on September 4, 2025, and comments due by September 11, 2025, at 1:00 pm MDT. The procurement stems from an initial master plan and facility condition assessment study completed in 2023, which was originally intended to support a ballot bond that did not pass in the 2024 election. The update is specifically necessitated by 2025 legal changes affecting jail operations, internal county service delivery modifications, and preparation for potentially reintroducing the jail bond on the 2026 ballot. The primary deliverable will be an updated comprehensive master plan that incorporates current legal requirements, operational changes, and strategic recommendations for the county's detention center. CGL Companies was selected based on their existing comprehensive knowledge of the county's criminal justice systems, prior data collection efforts, and deep familiarity with relevant agencies. The county argues that engaging a new vendor would require significant time and resource investment to recreate existing methodologies and databases.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The proposed sole source contract is valued at an estimated $60,000, with CGL Companies positioned as the sole vendor due to their extensive prior work and institutional knowledge. No incumbent vendors beyond CGL Companies are mentioned in the documentation. The project will require integration with existing county criminal justice system data, facility assessment records, and previous master planning documentation from the 2023 study. While the procurement is currently structured as a sole source opportunity, the county has provided an open comment period until September 11, 2025, allowing potential challengers to contest the sole source designation if they believe they can provide equivalent services. The update will be critical for informing potential future ballot initiatives and strategic planning for the Salt Lake County Adult Detention Center, with a focus on adapting to recent legal and operational changes in the county's criminal justice ecosystem.
