Change Order: FrontRunner Double Track Project Funding and Reimbursement Agreement - Amendment 1 (Utah Department of Transportation)
end

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize Executive Director to execute the Funding and Reimbursement Agreement, Amendment 1, with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for the FrontRunner Double Track (FrontRunner 2X) Project.

BACKGROUND:
HB322 required that UDOT deliver the FrontRunner2X project with UTA. To facilitate delivery, UTA and UDOT entered into a Reimbursement Agreement in connection with the FrontRunner2X Project to satisfy FTA eligibility requirements in connection with FTA grant funding, and provide a method for UDOT to reimburse UTA for Project-related work. The UTA board approved this agreement on May 22, 2024.

DISCUSSION:
The Parties now desire to amend and supplement the Reimbursement Agreement to update and modify certain matters as stated in this Amendment 1, and they therefore now agree to the terms stated in this Amendment 1 to be a part of the Reimbursement Agreement as such terms are stated. Key changes and additions include:
- Changing the definition of the project to include all project improvements including the Point of the Mountain Station and new Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) maintenance facility.
- Change in UTA costs due to the additional scope and the existing timeframe of expenses was extended through end of December 2027.
- Minor changes in invoice requirements and UDOT’s allocation of costs.
- Clarifying this agreement’s connection to other agreements and plans.
