AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve award and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with Wabtec Transportation Systems in the amount of $1,373,783.36.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Commuter Rail Overhaul Program, the truck frames on the locomotives need to be overhauled. The truck frame is a steel structure which contains the wheel sets, journal bearings, springs, and other suspension components. The procurement contract would overhaul the 32 trucks on UTA’s 18 locomotives.
DISCUSSION:
UTA released a best value RFP. The winning bidder was Wabtec Transportation Systems, LLC. The not-to-exceed (NTE) price of $1,373,783.36 is deemed fair and reasonable based on the competitive nature of the procurement and also the Independent Cost Estimate.
The project would be effective through 12/31/2025. The funding would be covered by the Commuter Rail Overhaul program.
UTA is requesting approval from the Board to authorize the Executive Director to overhaul the truck frames on the locomotives for a total amount of $1,373,783.36.
