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:
• Wayfinding Phase II - Blue Line. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to fabricate, install and replace all the aluminum wayfinding signage and information kiosks on the Blue Line TRAX platforms (approximately 550 signs and 200 Information kiosks). The signage being replaced is the original signage that was installed as part of the Blue Line construction in 1999 and is now 24 years old. In addition to much of the signage showing significant deterioration, the signage is also inconsistent with other wayfinding signage across the rest of the UTA TRAX system. This project is part of a multiyear implementation of the UTA Wayfinding Plan published in 2018. Funding for this project is included in the Capital Projects budget under MSP198. This contract will have a term of 12 months and the procurement will be conducted as an RFP. (req. 12921, GJ LaBonty)
• Right of Way Program Manager. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide right of way acquisition services to help UTA deliver real estate needs in a timely manner. The types of services the firm will provide include corridor preservation expertise, relocation services, acquisition services, appraisal reviews, lead agent services, title and closing services, and general management of programs and processes. Projects expected to utilize these services immediately are the Box Elder and Weber County corridor preservation projects and corridor preservation for the FrontRunner South Extension. Other projects will be able to utilize this contract as needed. Funding for this contract is included in the Capital Projects budget under codes MSP140, 193, and 264. This contract will be for a term of 3 years, plus two 1-year options for extension, and the procurement will be conducted as an RFQu, where selection will be based on the most qualified firm.
