Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute task order No. 24-042, and associated disbursements, on the On-Call infrastructure Maintenance task ordering contract with Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. in the amount of $299,520.00 to pay for Pre-construction and Construction Management fees from July 2024 through December 2024.

BACKGROUND:
In December 2023, UTA released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an on-call maintenance contractor focused specifically on infrastructure assets. Bids were received and evaluated, and Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. was selected as the winner based on overall scoring using the best value format. The UTA Board of Trustees approved the contract and authorized the Executive Director to execute the master task ordering agreement (MTOA) with Stacy and Witbeck Inc. on April 18, 2024. The MTOA is for three years, plus two one-year options, with a total 5-year not to exceed value of $45,000,000.
UTA’s rail infrastructure is at an age where yearly rehabilitations and replacements need to occur to maintain the infrastructure in a state of good repair. These projects typically address three concerns:
- Passenger ride quality
- Automobile cross-traffic ride quality
- Stray current issues

DISCUSSION:
In accordance with section A of the Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. Price Proposal Form for the On-Call Transit Infrastructure Construction, Maintenance and Repair Project proposal, SWI has provided an anticipated budget for July through December of 2024 Pre-Construction and Construction Management Fees.
The 2024 rates are as follows:
• Infrastructure Project Manager - Collin Christensen $131.00/Hr. Budgeting for 40 hours a week for 6 months (26 weeks)
• Infrastructure Superintendent - Courtney Beesley $157.25/Hr. Budgeting for 40 hours a week for 6 months (26 weeks)
• 2024 Combined budget total fee would be $299,520
