Contract: Civil Contractor Services for Battery Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure (Cache Valley Electric Company)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute a contract and associated disbursements with Cache Valley Electric (CVE)in the amount of $940,174.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2022, UTA released a request for procurement (RFP) for Battery Electric Bus - High Powered On-Route and Depot Charging Infrastructure and Civil Contractor Services. UTA’s expanding fleet of electric vehicles necessitates installation of these facilities to provide the necessary charging capacity for those vehicles. The proposed project and locations are consistent with the Board Approved Fleet Plan. CVE was selected as the “best value” for UTA based on a combination of technical and cost factors.
DISCUSSION:
This contract provides for initial installations at Kimball Junction, Central Station, and the Tooele Senior Center. The charger at Kimball Junction will be for use by High Valley Transit and is being installed by UTA as part of an FTA No/Low grant. The chargers at the Tooele Senior Center will be used to charge micro transit vehicles, and the high-powered charger at central station will be used for UTA battery electric buses.
The contract also allows for additional optional sites to be added at the discretion of UTA. Additional sites would be added by change order to this contract, which would be brought to the board for approval according to contract value threshold requirements. Designs are currently in progress at 3900 South and Wasatch and Central Point for high powered chargers for UTA battery electric buses. Design is underway at these locations. Any additional sites would be priced consistent with the prices contained in this Agreement.
