AGENDA ITEM TYPE:

Pre-Procurement

RECOMMENDATION:

Informational report for discussion

BACKGROUND:

Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $200,000 or greater be approved by the UTA Board of Trustees.  This informational report on upcoming procurements allows Trustees to be informed and provide input on upcoming procurement projects.   Following the bid solicitation and contract negotiation process, final contracts for these projects will come before the board for approval.

DISCUSSION:

The following projects, services, or products have an approved requisition by the Executive Director and are ready for bid solicitation:  • Motorola Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN) support.  This is a sole source procurement to establish a 5-year contract with Motorola to continue support of our Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN).  The IDEN system was originally procured through a competitive bid in 2011 and it is the Radio system UTA has been using in our entire fleet since then.  The Motorola IDEN system uses cellular technology over an IP based network on a scaled down version of Nextel’s push to talk platform.  This allows for quick, reliable contact with our operators throughout our service territory.  This sole source contract will continue to provide support to our current system while UTA explores alternatives to replace it.  Funding for this support is included in the IT 2021 operating expense budget.  (Req. 9070, Kyle Brimley)  • Multiple buildings roof replacement.  This procurement is to contract with a firm(s) to replace the roof membrane and asphalt on the Midvale Rail Service Center, Timpanogos buildings 3 & 4, and Warm Springs facility.  The current roof was installed over 20 years ago and is well past it’s expected life.  Facilities crews have been patching the roofs over the years as needed but the roofs have deteriorated to the point of needing new asphalt and membrane.  Funding for these projects was included in the approved 2021 budget.  This procurement will be conducted as an IFB where award of the contract will be given to the lowest bidder for each building. (Req. 9223, 9218, Kevin Anderson)  • 3300 S. Bus stop design and property acquisition.  This procurement is to contract with a firm for the design services, property acquisition, right-of-way & topo survey services for the 3300 S CMAQ Bus Stop Project.  This will be for a total of 36 bus stops along 3300 S.  These services need to be completed as soon as possible in 2021 before construction of the bus stops can begin in 2022.  Funding for this contract will be provided by CMAQ grant and a 6.77% UTA match.  This procurement will be conducted as an RFP where selection criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price.
