AGENDA ITEM TYPE:

Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve award and authorize Executive Director to execute a contract change order and associated disbursements with Kiewit Infrastructure West for the Airport TRAX Station Relocation project in the amount of $748,693 and extend the contract to November 24, 2021.

BACKGROUND:

In 2018, UTA released a best value procurement for the Airport TRAX Station Relocation project. Bids were received and evaluated, and Kiewit Infrastructure West was awarded the project. This project is a small piece of the larger airport redevelopment project.

DISCUSSION:

During the contract negotiations for the phase 2 construction portion of the TRAX project, it was determined that the access to construct the rail alignment would be delayed for 3 months from September 2020 to December 2020.   A ‘provisional’ cost was placed in the contract for this anticipated 3 months of delay.  However, the airport did not give UTA the access needed to start Phase 4 of our project until April 3, 2021.  This resulted in an additional 3+ months of delay not covered by the provisional cost amount reserved in the contract. This additional delay created a need to extend the contract and cover the additional contractor delay costs.   Due to the complex nature of this project, with multiple contractors working in the same area, and many utilities needing to be moved or relocated, before our work could begin, this project was budgeted knowing that delays were possible. However, the overall delays that have been accrued by the contractor, including this delay change order, are less than 10% of the original construction contract.  The delay cost was extrapolated from provisional delay cost which had been negotiated and included in the contract.  The cost has been determined to be fair and reasonable.
