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:
• Electric bus on-route chargers. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide construction of civil improvements and installation of charging equipment at charging stations in Salt Lake City, and to provide the civil infrastructure and power for UTA’s Electric Bus on-route and depot charging program. The purchase and installation of these electric buses and chargers is part of the Volkswagen enforcement action grants and includes the construction of 4 overhead bus chargers. The design has been completed by Spectrum Engineering and the selected locations have been reviewed and confirmed with Service Planning, Operations Planning and Bus Maintenance. This contract will be for a term of 3 years, plus two one-year options. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 11127, and 11130, Hal Johnson)
• Snow removal for TRAX and Frontrunner. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide snow removal services for all UTA owned parking areas and sidewalks located through-out Salt Lake Valley, FLHQ, CNG Depot, and Central Station Hub. We anticipate multiple bidders and potentially multiple contracts based on the number of locations and geographic areas. Funding for this contract is included in the Facilities Management budget. This contract will be a three-year contract with two 1-year options. This procurement will be conducted as an IFB, where price will be the sole determining factor. (Req. 11164, Johnny Johnson)
