RECOMMENDATION: |
This request seeks two actions from the Board of Trustees: 1. Approve Resolution R2021-06-01 executing Amendment No. 1 to Interlocal Cooperative Agreement (ILA) with the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) for a 650 South Main St. TRAX Station. The amendment extends the period of performance to March 31, 2022 and adds funds received from RDA in the amount of $514,727 for a total ILA amount of $2,502,404 ($1,987,677+$514,727). 2. Approve a technical budget adjustment moving $688,127 from Capital Contingency to the 650 South TRAX Platform Project. This amount covers the RDA amendment amount of $514,727 as well as a UTA contribution to the project to fund a snowmelt system with a cost of $173,400. |

BACKGROUND: |
On December 16, 2020, the Board approved by resolution (R2020-12-12) the execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) for the construction of a TRAX station at 650 South Main Street. Funding for the agreement comes from the RDA and private developers. UTA will award and manage the construction contract. In March of 2021, a request for proposal (RFP) to construct the project was issued. Due to lack of adequate industry response to the first RFP, a 2nd RFP was issued in April 2021, Paulsen Construction was selected on June 23, 2021 to perform the work. The later than expected contract award and unanticipated increase in construction costs resulted in the need for this Amendment to the ILA which extends the period of performance and adds additional funds. The Board of Trustees approved budget authority of $220,000 in 2020 and $2,000,000 in 2021 for total current budget authority of $2,220,000 for the 650 South Project. After accounting for costs incurred to-date, the decision to achieve economies of scale by adding the UTA funded snowmelt system to the contract, and the above-described increase in contract costs, UTA is seeking a technical budget adjustment of $688,127. This increase will be funded from the Capital Contingency budget. |
|
DISCUSSION: |
This ILA amendment will extend the period of performance for the 650 South TRAX Station project construction until March 31, 2022 and adds an additional $514,727 in RDA funds to the project. The RDA has agreed to fund this increase for the RDA elements of the construction contract. UTA intends to include a snow-melt system for this project funded with UTA funds. The snow-melt system was not included in the original project scope. The installation of the snowmelt system will enhance safety, reduce maintenance costs, increase service reliability, and improve on-time performance. This element of the contract is estimated at $173,400 and is included in the requested technical budget adjustment of $688,127 ($514,727 + $173,400) from Capital Contingency. |
|
ALTERNATIVES: |
If this amendment does not move forward, Utah Transit Authority may lose out on the third-party funds and be required to fund the project themselves. At a minimum, any delay will result in higher project costs in today’s construction market. |
|
FISCAL IMPACT: |
The RDA will be providing $514,727 of the additional project funds. This project is included in the 2021 Capital Budget. The technical budget adjustment requested will cover the additional project costs as outlined in the ILA and construction of the snow melt system described above. After the adjustment, the 650 South TRAX station project budget will be $2,845,445 and the Capital Contingency budget will be $1,311,873. See Attachment A for details. |
