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:
• Electric Vans for Tooele. UTA is seeking to purchase 8 zero emission, battery-electric vans to support the upcoming Tooele Microtransit service. Due to its population and geographic layout Tooele County was among the highest-ranked zones for Microtransit service, and has been included in UTA’s 5-year service plan. The new Microtransit service will replace the dial-a-ride service and two flex routes funded by UTA and operated by Tooele County. The vehicles will be ADA accessible, commercially available electric vans with upfitting added as needed.
This project is included in the Tentative 2022 Budget request. In the event that the Tentative 2022 Budget or this project is not approved, the contract allows UTA to terminate the contract for lack of appropriation authority.
The procurement is 85% funded by the FTA Low-No grant award with a 15% match of UTA funds. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 9936, Shaina Quinn)
• SD100/SD160 Slewing Ring replacement. This is a Sole Source procurement with Siemens to purchase up to 120 replacement Slewing Rings for the SD100 & SD160 Light Rail vehicles. This purchase is for parts only, and the replacement installation will be performed in-house. Slewing Rings are a ring of bearings that sit on top of the power truck and center truck of the light rail cars that enable smooth pivoting and turning of the vehicle. Over time these bearings wear out and must be replaced. These are part of the Light Rail SGR overhaul program, and the funding was included in the 2021 SGR budget. (Req. 9821, Kyle Stockley)
