Change Order: Cooperative Transportation Planning Agreement Amendment No. 1 (Wasatch Front Regional Council - WFRC)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the UTA and Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) Cooperative Transportation and Planning Agreement and authorize UTA’s Executive Director to execute the amendment and associated disbursements with WFRC in the amount of $1,150,000.
BACKGROUND:
In 1995, UTA and WFRC entered into a Cooperative Transportation and Planning Agreement (UTA Contact No. UT94-134VT) for implementing working arrangements between the parties, for the development of the Unified Work Program, for the completion of the work included in the Unified Work Program, for the financial transactions required to implement the Unified Work Program, for progress reporting and auditing, and for other requirements as necessary. Under this agreement, UTA is obligated to provide matching funds to WFRC required for the Federal Transit Administration Section 5303 metropolitan planning funds allocated to WFRC as part of the Consolidated Planning Grant administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The amount of match provided by UTA has been approximately 20% to the 5303 allocation amount which has recently surpassed $200,000.
The Public District Transit Act (UCA 17b-2a-801 et. seq.) requires the UTA Board of Trustees to approve any contract or expense exceeding $200,000. This contract amendment clarifies the UTA match obligation of this contract and establishes compensation in not-to-exceed amounts by UTA over the next five fiscal years.
DISCUSSION:
UTA and WFRC staff will provide an overview of the 1995 Cooperative Transportation and Planning Agreement and Amendment No. 1.
