On November 18, 2022, UTA approved change order #23-001 to exercise the two, one-year term options, ending on December 31, 2025, however it is the intention of UTA to terminate the contract early and re-procure the master task ordering agreement. The original contract value was estimated at $15,000,000. On April 12, 2023, the UTA Board of Trustees approved an increase of the estimated contract value to $30,000,000.
