AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
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:
• Leadership Development Training. This procurement is to contract with a firm to provide leadership and strategy development training services to various levels of the Agency’s leadership team. UTA has made great strides with the current leadership development vendor, and thus we want to expand these offerings to better refine our workforce and their skillsets. Funding for this service was included in the 2021 operating budget, and this procurement will be conducted as an RFP where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 9293, Kim Ulibarri) • SD100/SD160 Gearbox Overhaul. This is a procurement for Overhaul of the SD100/SD160 Gearbox systems. The current equipment is aging and having increasing failure rates and maintenance costs, as well as discontinued parts for repair. There are 84 Gearbox systems to be overhauled on the SD100/SD160 light rail fleet. These overhauls are part of our ongoing State of Good Repair program and funds for these overhauls are included in the adopted 2021 Capital Budget. These procurements will be conducted as an RFP and will be scored on technical criteria in addition to price. (Req. 9059, Kyle Stockley)
