Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Change Order 7 for two additional bus chargers with Gillig, LLC under Contract 20-03267 in the amount of $764,100.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

UTA has an Ordering Agreement with Gillig (approved by the UTA Board of Trustees on April 14, 2021) which gives UTA the option of ordering additional quantities of chargers up to a maximum amount of 14 additional overhead chargers and 32 additional depot chargers, provided they are ordered prior to February 20, 2026.

 

For the Midvalley Express (MVX) project, UTA currently requires 2 overhead chargers to be located at the Murray Central hub and the West Valley Central hub.

 

Once approved, UTA will have 8 additional overhead and 26 additional depot charger options available. This Change Order is required in order to execute the contracted options. 

 

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

UTA Staff is recommending approval of Change Order 7 with Gillig in order to purchase these chargers, as they are part of the original plan for MVX.
