Revenue Contract: FrontRunner South Extension Memorandum of Funding Agreement (Mountainland Association of Governments)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize UTA’s Executive Director to execute the FrontRunner South Extension Memorandum of Funding Agreement with the Mountainland Association of Governments.
BACKGROUND:
UTA, in partnership with Provo, Springville, Mapleton, Spanish Fork, Salem, Payson, Santaquin, Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG), and Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) completed the South Valley Transit Study in 2022. This effort identified the locally preferred option for the FrontRunner South Extension.
The current phase of the project includes environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and preliminary design for the proposed commuter rail extension. UTA contracted AECOM Technical Services Inc. in March 2023 to perform the environmental and engineering work.
DISCUSSION:
MAG has agreed to reimburse UTA $1,884,600 for expenses incurred during the environmental assessment and preliminary engineering phases of the project. This funding is part of a broader initiative supported by the Utah State Legislature, which allocated $5,000,000 in one-time funds under 2022 H.B. 3, Item 371, to support planning and environmental efforts for the extension. As part of the agreement, UTA will provide a required $135,400 local match from the legislative funds.
