AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute contract 20-03236, and associated disbursements, with Siemens Mobility Inc., with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,245,974 for Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) repair.
BACKGROUND:
Light Rail Vehicle 1122 was involved in a major accident resulting in significant damage that is beyond UTA’s ability to repair in-house. As the original manufacturer of the vehicle and the only vendor able to make the full repairs and provide a warranty for the repair work, Siemens Mobility Inc. was engaged to conduct a structural evaluation and develop a scope of work and proposal for repair of the vehicle to the OEM specifications.
DISCUSSION:
As the manufacturer of UTA’s S70 LRV fleet, Siemens Mobility is the only vendor able to make the repairs needed to the LRV.
A summary of the scope of the repairs is as follows:
Truck Repairs: Disassembly, repair of structural elements, refurbishment of components, reassembly, and testing of both power trucks and the center truck.
Vehicle Repairs: disassembly, structural repair, reassembly, refinishing and repainting, and testing.
To provide best value to UTA, the replacement door leaves and ramps were removed from the scope of work and will be supplied by UTA due to favorable pricing handling the items as free-issue materials.
The total not-to-exceed contract value for the repairs to the vehicle is $2,245,974 and work is anticipated to be completed over two years, beginning once the contract is executed in 2025 and extending into 2026.
Completion of this work is necessary to allow UTA to return LRV 1122 to revenue service.
