Sandy City- Impact Fee Study

Sandy City (City) seeks a qualified professional consultant to update its impact fee studies through a two-phase engagement: (1) Impact Fee Facilities Plan(s) (IFFP), and (2) Impact Fee Analysis/Analyses (IFA), with supporting fee schedules and implementation materials. The consultant shall review the City’s 2022 studies, adopted master plans, capital facilities and improvement plans, current fee enactments, relevant financial records, and development forecasts.

Evaluate the following categories only to the extent authorized as public facilities by Utah Code §11-36a-102 and otherwise eligible under the Act:

• Parks, recreation facilities, open space, and trails;
• Qualifying public safety facilities, including applicable statutory limitations on fire suppression vehicles and residential development;
• Culinary water rights and water supply, treatment, storage, and distribution facilities;
• Storm water, drainage, and flood control facilities; and
• Other statutorily eligible public facilities expressly approved in writing by the City.

Transportation, power, sewer, and secondary water are excluded from this engagement as they are services either not offered by the City or not in the City’s current IFFP. [...]

Phase One - Impact Fee Facilities Plan(s)

Phase One shall be completed and submitted for City review before Phase Two is finalized. The consultant shall prepare an IFFP for each applicable facility category or a legally sufficient coordinated set of plans, and a separately usable public summary.

Phase Two - Impact Fee Analysis/Analyses

After the Phase One technical findings are established, prepare an IFA and public summary for each facility category and appropriate service area. The IFA shall satisfy Utah Code §§11-36a-304 and 305 and demonstrate the statutory basis and maximum supportable amount for each recommended fee. [...]

Evaluate a citywide fee structure against separate service areas, including the downtown master plan area known as The Cairns. [...]
