Contract: Task Ordering Agreement for Architectural Consultant Services Pool (FFKR Architects Technical Services, Inc.)
end

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve award and authorize Executive Director to execute a task ordering agreement for Architectural Consultants Service Pool with FFKR Architects Technical Services, Inc.

BACKGROUND:
The UTA Facilities Strategic Plan includes several projects to modify and expand existing buildings owned by UTA. Support from architectural/engineering firms is needed to help prepare for these investments.
UTA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQu) for the Architectural Consultants Service Pool Contract. The requested services include programming, space planning, concept design, schematic design, design development, development of existing as-built floor plans, cost estimates, construction packages, construction phase, and other services as necessary. Three consultants were selected as most qualified to provide the architectural services: AECOM, CRSA, and FFKR.
UTA will now execute a Master Task Ordering Agreement (MTOA) with the selected consultants. Task Orders shall be issued on a fixed labor rate basis. There is funding in this year’s budget to support work on the Mt. Ogden Operations Building, JRRSC Building 2, and the future Transit Technical Education Center.

DISCUSSION:
This contract is to approve a Master Task Ordering Agreement (MTOA) with FFKR Architects Technical Services, Inc. to provide programming, space planning, concept design, schematic design, design development, development of existing as-built floor plans, cost estimates, construction packages, construction phase, and other services as necessary. FFKR Architects Technical Services, Inc. will execute a Master Task Ordering Agreement for a five-year term. Task orders will be issued as needed. Selection is not a guarantee that task orders will be received. The current value of this agreement is zero and will be increased commensurate with the issuance of individual task orders.
The first task order for FFKR is anticipated to be for the design of Jordan River Rail Service Center Building 2, located just south of the light rail service center. This building will be remodeled to accommodate the Maintenance of Way department personnel and supplies. Estimated cost for the task order is between $200K to $500K, depending on final scope details. All task orders will be brought to the board for approval based on contract value approval thresholds established in policy.
