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:                                                                                                                                      

                     Rideshare Autobody Contract Pool.  The Special Services Department is requesting a Pool of Contractors be established for autobody/collision repair services for the Rideshare/Vanpool fleet. Creating this pool of contractors will allow us to use multiple vendors for autobody repair to handle the potentially large volume of work needed and to ensure that costs are competitive. The pool will also speed up the process when we have a need for vehicle body repairs.  The term of this contract will be for five (5) years and funding for this contract is included in the approved 2025 Special Services Operating Expenses budget for Contract Services.  The procurement will be conducted as a Request for Proposal (RFP), where other technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price.
