AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
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:
• FrontRunner Wayfinding Signage. This is a procurement to complete phase I of the FrontRunner wayfinding design guidelines as published in 2019. Phase I includes the design, fabrication, and installation of the wayfinding signage on each of the UTA FrontRunner platforms. This is a one-year contract and funding for this project is included in the Capital Projects budget under project code MSP198. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 12314, GJ LaBonty)
• UTA Sustainability Audit. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to assist UTA in developing a Sustainability Plan with the aim to enhance social well-being, protect the environment, and promote economic prosperity in the community. The selected firm will be required to conduct an assessment of UTA’s operations, determine the agency’s total carbon footprint, document their findings, and map out improvement strategies. The consultant’s final report will inform UTA’s Sustainability Plan. This is a two-year contract, and funding for this project is included in the capital project budget under project code MSP288. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 12475, Patti Garver)
• Mid-Valley BRT Construction. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to construct the Mid-valley Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connector line. This BRT route will start at the West Valley light rail station and will travel down 2700 West to 4700 South, then proceed East and will ultimately end at the Murray Central light rail station. Construction will include BRT stations, communications, a dedicated bus lane along the route, as well as any necessary retaining walls and grading, and a new transit hub at Salt Lake Community College. Funding for this project is through a Capital Investment Federal grant and UTA Capital Project code MSP253. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 322842, Andrea Pullos).
