Pre-Procurements
- Electronic platform signs and public address (PA) system
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Pre-Procurement
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $200,000 or greater be approved by the UTA Board of Trustees. This informational report on upcoming procurements allows Trustees to be informed and provide input on upcoming procurement projects. Following the bid solicitation and contract negotiation process, final contracts for these projects will come before the board for approval.
DISCUSSION:
• Electronic platform signs and PA. This is a procurement to replace all electronic platform signs and PA systems. The current Customer Information signs on the rail platforms are over 10 years old and in need of replacement. New LCD signs will be procured and installed on FrontRunner first, and then TRAX thereafter. Several signs from different vendors were brought in to test and evaluate, and after demonstrations to the executive team LCD signs were chosen over LED signs. Announcements will be made through existing PA speakers on FrontRunner instead of the new signs to allow patrons on the platform to hear the announcements, not just those near the signs. On TRAX, PA speakers will need to be procured and installed. Funding for the project is subject to final Board Approval of the 2023 State of Good Repair budget in December (40-2001.67912, ICI1001). We anticipate the procurement and installation will take up to three years to complete. The procurement will be conducted as an RFP and the contract will be for a term of three years, plus two one-year options. (Req. 11153, Kyle Brimley)
