AGENDA ITEM TYPE:

Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve task order #18 to the on-call infrastructure maintenance contract and authorize the Executive Director to execute task order and associated disbursements with Stacy and Witbeck in the amount of $325,833.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2020, UTA released a request for procurement (RFP) for an on-call maintenance contractor focused specifically on infrastructure assets.  Bids were received and evaluated, and Stacy and Witbeck Inc. was selected as the winner based on overall scoring using the best value format.  The UTA Board of Trustees approved the contract and authorized the Executive Director to execute the contract with Stacy and Witbeck Inc. on January 27, 2021.  This contract is for three-years with two one-year options.    UTA’s rail infrastructure is at an age where yearly rehabilitations and replacements need to occur to maintain the infrastructure in a state of good repair.  These projects typically address three concerns: 1) Passenger ride quality 2) Automobile cross-traffic ride quality 3) Potential stray current issues  To maintain UTA’s rail lines, the agency needs to replace or rehabilitate approximately 5-7 crossings per year.  In 2021, UTA plans to complete 8 grade crossing projects.  This task order is for the fifth crossing replacement project this year.

DISCUSSION:

UTA Staff is requesting approval of task order #18 with Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. to complete one grade crossing replacement project in the amount of $325,833.  The scope of this request includes full replacement of the 4800 West Crossing on the Red Line.  These projects typically involve removal and replacement or rehabilitation of the rail, crossing panels, and tubs, as well as earth stabilization efforts. The useful life of a grade crossing is approximately 10 years.  The Task Order has been determined to be within the scope of the master Task Ordering Agreement. The Task Order pricing has been determined to be fair and reasonable based on both a UTA Independent Cost Estimate and performance of a Price Analysis.
