Change Order: Point of the Mountain Transit Design and Environmental Services (Parametrix Consult, Inc.)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve award and authorize the Executive Director to execute the change order and associated disbursements for the Parametrix Consult, Inc. contract to complete the environmental document and conceptual design refinements for Point of the Mountain Transit in the amount of $3,462,678 through June 2023.
BACKGROUND:
The Point of the Mountain Transit Study was initiated in 2019 by UTA and a coalition of governments and stakeholders. The purpose of the transit study was to identify a rapid transit service connection between southern Salt Lake County and northern Utah County. The preferred alternative has been selected and is moving into environmental analysis and conceptual engineering, which this change order will allow to move forward. The “Common Ground Segment” is the preferred alternative transit corridor for the juncture of southern Salt Lake County and northern Utah County. Bus Rapid Transit was identified as the best-performing and optimal transit technology for the corridor.
DISCUSSION:
This is change order #5 to contract #19-03038TP (approved on 7/17/2019) for the Point of the Mountain Transit project. The change order is for the consultant, Parametrix Consult, to refine the preferred alternative and conceptual design at key locations and complete the environmental document for the POM preferred alternative. This work was included as an option in the original contract which would be defined, pending the results of the earlier planning. The contract therefore requires a contract modification and Board approval. This change order also extends the contract term from 6/30/2021 - 6/30/2023. This phase of the project will include environmental review and documentation of the project consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act. It is anticipated that an Environmental Assessment is the appropriate environmental document for this project. The dollar amount of this modification has been determined to be fair and reasonable through means of an independent cost estimate and a UTA cost analysis.
