Utah County commission accepts RFP committee ranking, selects top economic development consultant for negotiations
Summary
County commissioners received the evaluation committee's top-three rankings from six RFP respondents and agreed to proceed with negotiations with the committee's No. 1 pick, Advising Consulting Services, after a motion to receive recommendations passed unanimously.
Utah County commissioners voted May 29 to accept an evaluation committee's recommendations from a competitive RFP and to begin negotiations with the top-ranked firm for economic development consulting services.
The county received six proposals, narrowed them to four for interviews and presentations, and the committee presented its top three firms and their ranking. A commissioner who participated in the interviews said the committee’s work was thorough and recommended the top-ranked firm “pretty unanimous all the way across.” Staff asked the commission to receive that recommendation and authorize further negotiations with the No. 1 firm.
Commissioners said they had reviewed the panel’s findings and concurred with its assessment. One commissioner moved to receive the recommendations and proceed with negotiations; another seconded the motion and commissioners approved the action by voice vote.
The motion does not finalize a contract. Staff will return with negotiated terms and any contract language for formal approval. The county’s next procedural step is negotiation with the selected firm and subsequent contract approval if terms are acceptable to the commission.
No public comment was recorded on this agenda item, and no specific dollar amount or contract term was reported during the meeting.
