Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Change Order 7 for Phase 2 Construction Services on Contract 24-03849 with Kiewit Infrastructure West Co (Kiewit).                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

UTA has been working collaboratively with Salt Lake City to extend the S-Line Streetcar from the existing end of the line at Fairmont Station (1040 East) to the heart of the Sugarhouse Business District at Highland Drive.

UTA issued a RFP for a Progressive Design Build contractor to design and build the S-line Extension. On September 25, 2024, the UTA Board of Trustees approved contract 24-03849 with Kiewit for Phase 1 Pre-Construction Design Services on the S-Line Extension.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

Design services under Phase 1 of the contract were completed in January 2026 and, in accordance with Section 8 of the Construction and Design Services Agreement between Kiewit and UTA, UTA is authorized to issue an addendum authorizing Kiewit to construct an extension of the S-Line streetcar from Fairmont Station to a location directly east of Highland Drive. In lieu of issuing a contract addendum, UTA is issuing this Change Order to authorize Kiewit to enter into Phase 2 for Construction.

Note: UTA and Kiewit have agreed to set an effective date for Phase 2 as February 1, 2026, to cover the extended negotiation period required to finalize the Phase 2 Change Order and associated funding agreements.
