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. On April 18, 2024, the UTA Board of Trustees approved the Master Task Ordering Agreement (MTOA) contract (23-03811) and authorized the Executive Director to execute the contract with Stacy and Witbeck, Inc.
The MTOA is for three (3) years, plus two (2) one-year options, with a total 5-year not-to-exceed value of $45,000,000.
As part of the MTOA, UTA asked that winning contractors provide a dedicated project manager and construction manager, that they be located at the Jordan River Rail Service Center, and that these two full-time staff members be dedicated to UTA.
