RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Contract Modification 9, and associated disbursements to exercise Option 2 on Contract 21-03429 with Mott MacDonald, extending the contract services from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,350,000.

BACKGROUND:
UTA engages consultants to provide project management and engineering services in support of the Capital Vehicles team. These services are dedicated to the support of approved rail procurement and overhaul projects as detailed in UTA’s 5-Year Capital Plan, including but not limited to: the SGR040 Light Rail Vehicle Rehab, MSP252 Frontrunner 2X, and REV238 SD100/SD160 Light Rail Vehicle Replacement projects.
Contract 21-03429 was originally approved by the Board of Trustees on July 14, 2021, with a base, three (3) year contract, with two (2) additional, one-year options. The Year 4 option was also previously exercised on June 10, 2024.

DISCUSSION:
In continued support of the vehicle-related projects in the approved 2025-2029 5-Year Capital Plan, UTA Staff has elected to exercise Option 2 of the contract, adding an additional year to the effective date, which would now expire on June 30, 2026.
The additional services will support the ongoing vehicle overhaul and state-of-good-repair projects, as well as the recently awarded light rail vehicle replacement project, and the upcoming UTA/UDOT Frontrunner2X commuter vehicle procurements.
