Change Order: Master Task Ordering Agreement for Bus System Enhancement Design Services Consultant Pool A Only - Change Order No. 1 - Exercise of Option Years 1 and 2 (AECOM Technical Services, Inc.)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute change order no. 1 to the master task ordering agreement with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. and associated disbursements, in the not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 per year or $600,000 over the two option years for the entire pool A of contracts.
BACKGROUND:
In June of 2023 the UTA contracted with a pool of pre-qualified consultants that may be solicited to complete tasks via task orders to increase UTA’s efficiency to deliver system enhancement projects yearly and utilize the programmed budget. Local funding has been allocated yearly for bus stops, end-of-line facilities, and operator restrooms - Design Pools A, B & C respectively to develop an ongoing yearly program of projects for bus system improvements. Since requirements and budget are determined on an annual basis, these contracts were created for one-year periods with four (4) additional one-year options to be exercised each year contingent on the availability of funds. Board approval will be obtained prior to the exercise of each option year provided its value exceeds $200,000.
DISCUSSION:
If approved, AECOM Technical Services Inc, is qualified as part of Design Pool A, which shares an annual not to exceed value of $300,000.
• Pool A-Bus Stops: $300,000 each option year-per-year
No work is authorized, nor funds obligated until a task order is issued under this contract. Individual task orders totaling $200,000 or more will be brought to the Board for approval. If the cost of all task orders issued under the pool of agreement exceeds $300,000, additional Board approval will be required. Board approval will be obtained prior to the exercise of subsequent option years provided their value exceeds $200,000.

ALTERNATIVES:
By not developing and maintaining a pool of consultants for design services, UTA is compromised in its ability to deliver system enhancement projects quickly. The alternative to executing contracts for design services in each pool category would require three RFQu’s for design services for every project or every year and create additional work while possibly impacting completion dates. The current approach streamlines the process, allows for more efficient delivery, and helps ensure the project gets completed on time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal impact is a function of the total amount actually contracted via task order(s) under this Master Task Order Agreement. Technically, this is an authorization to contract but not an actual commitment of funds.
Note: The fiscal year budget period and the contract periods do not line up. Capital Budget and Capital Plans commitments are managed through requisition approvals.
