Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the change order and associated disbursements with Paulsen Construction LLC for Phase 2 Construction services for the new South Jordan Downtown TRAX station in the amount of $3,960,921.54.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

UTA was approached in late 2023 about constructing a new TRAX platform in South Jordan on the existing red line between South Jordan Parkway and Daybreak Parkway due to rapid growth in the area, including commercial development. The City’s community master plan demonstrated increased demand for transit connections. South Jordan City applied for and received Transit Transportation Investment Fund (TTIF) funds for the project. Additional funding for the project will come from Salt Lake County and UDOT. A funding agreement between UTA and the stakeholders has been executed. Total funding made available to UTA for the entire project is $6,000,000.00. 

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

UTA issued an RFP for the award of a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC).  Paulsen construction was selected on a best value basis. The GM/GC contract contains two Phases.  Phase I is for pre-construction services with a negotiated price of $51,000 and was executed earlier this year. The Board of Trustees approved the Phase 1 contract on March 13, 2024.  Phase 2 is for construction services. The phase 2 price was negotiated during Phase 1.   An Independent cost estimate was prepared and the price has been determined to be fair and reasonable.
