Change Order: On-Call Infrastructure Maintenance Contract Task Order #23-118 - 450 East Double Crossover Design (Stacy and Witbeck, Inc.)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve task order #23-118 to the on-call maintenance contract with Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. and authorize the Executive Director to execute the task order and associated disbursements in the amount of $244,229 for design of the concrete track slab for the new Direct Fixation style track proposed to replace the current embedded track at the 450 East Double Crossover on the University Line.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2020, UTA released a request for procurement (RFP) for an on-call maintenance contractor focused specifically on infrastructure assets. Bids were received and evaluated, and Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. was selected as the winner based on overall scoring using the best value format. The UTA Board of Trustees approved the contract and authorized the Executive Director to execute the contract with Stacy and Witbeck Inc. on January 27, 2021. This contract is for three years (with 2 option years) and will be coming up for re-procurement in 2024.
UTA’s rail infrastructure is at an age where yearly rehabilitations and replacements need to occur to maintain the infrastructure in a state of good repair. These projects typically address three concerns:
- Passenger ride quality
- Automobile cross-traffic ride quality
- Potential stray current issues
DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is requesting approval of task order #23-118 with Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. to have Sener design the concrete track slab for the new Direct Fixation style track proposed to replace the current embedded track at the 450 East Double Crossover on the University Line.

ALTERNATIVES:
Without the design work, the improvement project at the 450 East Double Crossover on the University Line (procurement of materials already approved in TO23-106) would have to be put on hold. This would lead to deferring maintenance, which could lead to slow orders and delayed service. Eventually, a failure to proceed could cause safety issues.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This budget is included in the 2023-2027 Capital Plan
