AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Pre-Procurement
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $200,000 or greater be approved by the UTA Board of Trustees. This informational report on upcoming procurements allows Trustees to be informed and provide input on upcoming procurement projects. Following the bid solicitation and contract negotiation process, final contracts for these projects will come before the board for approval.
DISCUSSION:
The following projects, services, or products have an approved requisition by the Executive Director and are ready for bid solicitation:
• Environmental Services Pool for FrontRunner Forward project. This procurement is to qualify a pool of firms or teams interested in providing environmental professional services for the FrontRunner forward project. UTA is in the process of preparing a Business Plan that will identify the potential investments and improvements to FrontRunner over the next several decades. These investments and improvements may include double tracking, realignment, station work, signal work, and other capital projects to enhance the FrontRunner service. The environmental services could include NEPA Categorical Exclusions or Environmental Assessments and could include preliminary engineering. Once the desired improvements are identified, UTA wants to move quickly through the environmental and design processes to begin construction as soon as possible. Preparing a pool of qualified environmental consultants, will allow UTA to move quickly into the environmental work. UTA anticipates award of one or more contracts resulting from this solicitation and may award to one or more different teams. Successful Proposer(s) will execute an on-call Task Order Agreement for a three (3) year base term with up to two (2), one-year option terms. Task Orders will be issued to qualified firms as needed. (Req. 9784, Janelle Robertson)
• Design Services Pool for FrontRunnner Forward project. Subsequent to the Environmental Services in the previous solicitation, this procurement is to qualify a pool of firms or teams interested in providing final design professional services for FrontRunner investments and improvements. Establishing this pool will allow UTA to move quickly through the design processes to begin construction as soon as possible. UTA anticipates award of one or more contracts resulting from this solicitation and may award to one or more different teams. Successful Proposer(s) will execute an on-call Task Order Agreement for a three (3) year base term with up to two (2), one-year option terms. Task Orders will be issued to qualified firms as needed.
