Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with Horrocks Engineers, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $644,592 for Utah County Park & Ride Facilities design services.                      

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

In the 2024-2028 Five-year Capital Plan, funding has been allocated for the design and construction of two new Park and Ride Facilities at locations in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain to serve locations for a future Express service to serve east-west direction in north Utah County and connect to the existing American Fork Commuter Rail station and existing North-South bus service east of I-15. 

The proposed locations have been modified from the original locations shown along Pioneer Parkway to be located on Pony Express Parkway. These improvements are being built in partnership with Utah County, Saratoga Springs, and Eagle Mountain.

The work includes: traffic signal design, roadway improvements, trail connections/improvements, and bus stop improvements. The selected firm will work with UTA’s Service Planners and Bus Operations to create the facility designs and provide the necessary documents for the project. This includes completing required field studies needed for UTA to complete the CatEx and providing public involvement services.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

UTA has selected Horrocks Engineers, Inc to complete the design for the new station platforms. The contractor was selected through full and open competition. There were three proposals received. Horrocks was selected as the best qualified based on review of the proposals. 

The needs that the Project will address include:

1. Prepare alternatives for screening for pedestrian and bus stop enhancements along Pony Express Parkway near the proposed Eagle Mountain Park & Ride Facility and options for the Park & Ride Facility(ies) layout at this location.

2. Provide public outreach services during the environmental clearance, final design, and during construction.

3. Prepare plans and specifications for bidding and selecting a construction contractor to construct the new park & ride facility in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain.

4. Prepare any permit applications for submittal.

5. Provide exhibits as needed for any agreements needed between UTA and Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, and Utah County.
