Revenue Contract: S-Line Funding Agreement (Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency)

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the funding agreement with the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) for the S-Line Extension Project.
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 Sugar House business district at Highland Drive. This project will help support economic development and serve the growing population of Sugar House by providing an improved connection to Sugar House. The project has included close coordination with the CRA, who owns property adjacent to the project.
This funding agreement with CRA serves as a portion of the required local match for the Transit Transportation Investment Program Funds (TTIF) Cooperative Agreement for the S-Line Extension Project (Utah Department of Transportation), authorized and approved on March 11, 2026 by the Board of Trustees.
DISCUSSION:
CRA owns property in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, a portion of which is adjacent to UTA’s S-Line Extension project. The CRA will dedicate land to Salt Lake City as right of way through a plat process to allow for the S-Line extension. The CRA is leading the efforts on the plat application. Buildings on the CRA property need to be demolished prior to the plat approval. CRA and UTA desire to collaborate on the designs and construction for utility relocation and building demolition required in connection with CRA’s redevelopment work on the CRA Property.
UTA will assume responsibility for the CRA Work. CRA will reimburse costs incurred by UTA for completion of the CRA Work that is beyond the scope of the design work included in UTA’s existing S-Line Design-Build Contract, in an aggregate amount not to exceed Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($95,000) for design-related work and Seven Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand and Fifty Nine Dollars ($757,059) for construction-related work and overhead.

ALTERNATIVES
This agreement is needed to allow the S-Line Extension project to proceed in a timely manner. If UTA chooses not to proceed with this agreement, the S-Line Extension cannot proceed until the CRA procures a separate contractor to complete the scope of work included in this agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The CRA will reimburse UTA $852,059 for design and construction services for scope items supporting their work. This funding will offset costs incurred to the S-Line Extension (MSP259) project budget.
The CRA contribution was reduced from what was presented during approval of the TTIF funding agreement on March 11, 2026. The $13,000 reduction accounts for environmental mitigation to be conducted by CRA rather than UTA's contractor. This does not impact the TTIF funding since the project currently has more local funding than required.
