Change Order: On-Call Infrastructure Maintenance Contract Task Order #24-046 - Union Interlocking Trackwork Installation (Stacy and Witbeck, Inc.)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute task order No. 24-046, and associated disbursements, on the On-Call Infrastructure Maintenance task ordering contact with Stacy and Witbeck in the amount of $246,686.00 to replace trackwork components in the Union interlocking area for all rail lines as part of the SGR program.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2023, UTA released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an on-call maintenance contractor focused specifically on infrastructure assets. Bids were received and evaluated, and Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. was selected as the winner based on overall scoring using the best value format. The UTA Board of Trustees approved the contract and authorized the Executive Director to execute the master task ordering agreement (MTOA) with Stacy and Witbeck Inc. on April 18, 2024. The MTOA is for three years, plus two one-year options, with a total 5-year not to exceed value of $45,000,000.
UTA’s rail infrastructure is at an age where yearly rehabilitations and replacements need to occur to maintain the infrastructure in a state of good repair. These projects typically address three concerns:
- Passenger ride quality
- Automobile cross-traffic ride quality
- Potential stray current issues
DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is requesting approval of Task Order 24-046 with Stacy Witbeck, Inc. to complete the removal and replacement of trackwork components at Union interlocking in the amount of $246,686.00. The scope of this request includes all time, labor, and other items needed to remove the Guard Rail on the Green Line, Frog, switch points, stock rail, wood to concrete ties, and comp welds on the N/S line. By replacing these track components, we extend the useful life, provide new rail, and create a smoother ride for both passengers and create a safe system for operations. This Task Order has been determined to be within the scope of the master Task Ordering Agreement. The Task Order pricing has been determined to be fair and reasonable based on both a UTA Independent Cost Estimate and performance of a Price Analysis.
