AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with CRSA Architects in the not to exceed amount of $946,906 for professional services for Transit Technical Education Center (TTEC) Final Design.
BACKGROUND:
UTA lacks sufficient space in existing facilities to perform training for vehicle maintenance employees.
UTA owns an existing building located at approximately 2300 South and 900 West. The building was originally constructed in the early 1970s and was acquired by UTA in the mid 2010s. UTA hired a consultant to perform a concept planning study to explore remodeling the building for use as a technical transit education center (TTEC). The study was completed earlier this year.
In September 2023, UTA released a request for qualifications (RFQU) for an Architectural Consultant Services Contract. The requested services included preparing plans and specifications for bidding and selecting a construction contractor, bidding support, and design support during construction.
Statements of qualifications were received from four firms. A selection team reviewed and scored the submittals and determined that CRSA was the most qualified to perform the work.
DISCUSSION:
This contract for CRSA provides for final design and construction administration of the TTEC facility.
