Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize Executive Director to execute the task order and associated disbursements for FrontRunner Forward Environmental Services Contract Task Order No. 01 with HDR Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $1,386,505
BACKGROUND:
UTA has identified sections of double tracking as a part of the Initial Investment Plan to improve FrontRunner speed and frequency. These identified projects must move through the environmental and preliminary design as a next step to keep the FrontRunner Forward Program moving.
The pool of qualified environmental consultants was selected and allows UTA to advance quickly into the environmental work once the investments/improvements are identified. The Board of Trustees approved a master task ordering agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. on January 12, 2022.
UTA desires to execute a Task Order with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide environmental study and preliminary design services for FrontRunner Forward Initial Investment Projects Package 1.
DISCUSSION:
This contract amendment is to approve Task Order No. 1 with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide environmental professional services to advance FrontRunner improvements through environmental study and preliminary design. This includes the design needed to continue coordination with Union Pacific Railroad in order to advance to an agreement with them. Package #1 includes the following segments:
• Warm Springs (0.9 miles)
• South of Salt Lake segment (2.1 miles)
• South of Murray segment (1.5 miles)
• Draper segment (3.1 miles)
• Beck Yard (1.6 miles)
