BACKGROUND:
Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $250,000 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:
• Financial Auditing Firm for 2026-2030 Financial Audits
The Accounting department is seeking to contract with a firm to complete financial audits and year-end reports. The selected firm will perform an audit of UTA’s financial system, internal controls, and UTA’s Pension program to ensure compliance with all State and Federal regulations. They will also compile and format the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) including assistance with final preparation of the financial statements.
This procurement will be conducted as a Request for Proposal (RFP), where technical criteria will be valued and scored in addition to price. The base term of this contract is three (3) years, plus two (2) one-year options for extension. Funding for this project is included in the approved Accounting Operating Budget. (Req 15539, PM Rob Lamph).

The Innovative Mobility Services Department is seeking to contract with a private transportation provider to support UTA’s mobility zones. All services will be ADA-accessible and managed through a single, UTA-branded app that integrates with our preferred trip planner, Transit App. This platform will enable a range of solutions, from Transportation as a Service, including micro-transit, TNC trips, low-ridership buses, and flexible holiday operations to software and consulting services.
This procurement will be conducted as a Request for Proposal (RFP), where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. The term of this procurement is a base term of 5-years, with two 1-year options for extension. Funding for this project is included in the IMS Operation Budget 6650.50353.
