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:
The following projects, services, or products have an approved requisition by the Executive Director and are ready for bid solicitation: • Police Cruisers. This is a procurement to purchase six F-150 Police package special service vehicles with siren and lights upfitting. Trucks are the preferred vehicles for our police department as they have the ground clearance and design necessary to access Right of Way areas along our rail corridors and other facilities. With the purchase of these six vehicles we will retire four old cruisers and expand our fleet by two vehicles to meet the demands of new officers added in 2018. UTA PD will be using Federal grant money (1% formula money) to purchases these vehicles. This procurement will be conducted as an IFB and awarded to the dealer with the lowest overall bid. (Jason Petersen, Req 9331) • Talent and Culture Development Consultant. This is a procurement to establish a contract with a consulting firm to provide ongoing Culture and Talent Development services. The consulting firm will provide talent development training for multiple levels of management to better refine our workforce and their skillsets. Funding for this procurement was included in the approved 2021 Operating Expense budget. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Alisha Garret, Req. 9341)
