end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution R2023-11-02 authorizing amendment 2 to the Air Quality Monitoring on Electric Buses Interlocal Cooperation Agreement as presented.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2021, UTA entered into an interlocal cooperation agreement with Salt Lake County, the University of Utah, and the State of Utah Division of Air Quality to install air monitors on three UTA electric buses and to gather, process, and visualize the real-time air quality monitoring data. UTA and Salt Lake County each contributed $20,000 toward the project. The University is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the monitors. In 2022, the first amendment was processed, which extended the project performance period, added Salt Lake City Corporation as a party to the agreement, and provided that the County would host a website housing and making available to the public air quality data analysis derived from the project.
DISCUSSION:
Amendment 2 (UTA Contract #21-P00076-2) makes the following changes to the agreement:
• Updates the budget (no additional budget from UTA)
• Extends the performance period through June 30, 2027
• Allows the air quality monitors to be installed on up to 15 of UTA’s electric buses
• Makes minor adjustments to administrative components of the project
ALTERNATIVES:
In order to continue this important research, this amendment is needed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
UTA previously provided $20,000 for the project. No additional UTA funds will be allocated. UTA is providing minimal staff time to support the project.
