Change Order: SD100/SD160/S70 LRV Seating Replacement Contract Modification 1 (United Safety and Survivability Corporation)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve change order, with associated disbursements, to the contract with United Safety and Survivability Corporation (USSC) in the amount of $608,004 for design improvements on the light rail seat replacement project.
BACKGROUND:
On October 21, 2020 the UTA board of trustees approved a contract between UTA and United Safety & Survivability Corporation (USSC) to replace all the fabric seats on UTA’s 117 light rail vehicles with a textured vinyl. As part of this contract, the priority seating area will have color and visual designation to help our passengers identify accessible locations.
The original schedule was delayed due to Covid and Supply Chain issues. The revised schedule is to have the first car set onsite 7/1/2022 with the last delivery 12/19/2022.
DISCUSSION:
After the preliminary design was received from USSC, the UTA Operations, Maintenance, Customer Experience and ADA teams recommended modifying the original configuration of the seats.
The design improvement will change the back-to-back seats in the priority seating area to perimeter flip up seats. This new seating configuration will reduce passenger leg protrusion into the vehicle doorway by around 2”. Also, we are adding egress grab handles and partition barriers which are comparable to the current configuration. These changes will improve the accessibility for our ADA customers.
