AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Change Order 4 and associated disbursements on Contract 24-03849 for Special Trackwork & Switch Machines with Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. (Kiewit) in the amount of $3,907,664.
BACKGROUND:
UTA has been working collaboratively with Salt Lake City to extend the S-Line Streetcar from the existing end of the line at Fairmont Station (1040 East) to the heart of the Sugarhouse Business District at Highland Drive.
UTA issued an RFP for a Progressive Design Build contractor to design and build the S-line Extension and Double Tracking. On September 25, 2024, the UTA Board of Trustees approved contract 24-03849 with Kiewit for Phase 1 Pre-Construction Design Services on the S-Line Extension.
DISCUSSION:
The S-Line Extension has reached 90% design completion. UTA will begin negotiations for Phase 2 construction services with Kiewit towards the end of the year, with construction currently planned to begin in March of 2026.
To keep the schedule on track, additional long lead items need to be purchased ahead of the negotiations for Phase 2. This includes signal equipment, the overhead catenary system, a power control center cabinet, and pre-cure rail.
Kiewit will purchase this equipment in UTA’s name so it can be transferred to UTA should the agency decide to pursue a different contractor for construction.
1. Title to the purchased equipment will transfer to UTA upon receipt, inspection and acceptance by Kiewit.
2. Kiewit will not accept the equipment until it receives UTA concurrence.
3. Kiewit will be responsible for the physical possession, storage, and care of the equipment until it is physically incorporated into the project or is transferred to a successor contractor at UTA’s direction.
4. Should Kiewit not be awarded the Phase II construction contract, at UTA’s direction it will transfer the equipment to the successor contractor in a timely manner at no additional cost to UTA.

ALTERNATIVES:
UTA could wait until the Phase 2 contract is officially awarded or procure the long lead items directly.
Waiting to procure the track work will delay the construction scheduled for the S-Line extension, increasing the cost of the project. Procuring the trackwork directly would increase UTA’s risk as the agency would be responsible for ensuring quality and conformance with the design, rather than the contractor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2025-2029 approved Five-Year Capital Plan includes $22,317,000 for the S-Line extension project (MSP259). This includes a $12 million legislative appropriation and a $9.9 million Transit Transportation Investment Fund (TTIF) Grant. In September, the Transportation Commission approved an additional $9 million for the project. This will be reflected in the 2026-2030 Five-Year Capital Plan.
Total not-to-exceed contract amount: $8,923,166.11
