Impact Fee Study RFP

Project Description: Summit County Service Area #3 is soliciting proposals from qualified firms for the collection and
analysis of data related to the potential enactment of Impact Fees pursuant to Utah Code
Annotated § 11-36a-101 et. seq. (the “Project”).
Summit County Service Area #3 (SCSA3) is a special district known as a “service area.
” All special districts, including service areas, are independent, government entities created to carry
out specific purposes. Summit County created SCSA3 to, among other things,
“own, operate and maintain water rights and culinary and irrigation water retail services”
. See Section 2-27-1 of the Summit County Code.
Although SCSA3 was created by Summit County, SCSA3 is a political subdivision of the State of
Utah that is “separate and distinct from any other political subdivision of the state.
” See Utah Code § 17B-1-103. As such, SCSA3 is governed by its elected Board of Trustees and regulated
by the State rather than Summit County.
