Contract: Master Task Ordering Agreement for Bus System Enhancement Design Services Consultant Pool A (AECOM Technical Services, Inc.)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute the bus system enhancement master task ordering agreement, and associated disbursements, with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. for one year with a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for design services pool A.
BACKGROUND:
In the 2023-2027 Five-year Capital Plan local funding has been allocated yearly for Bus Stops, End of Line Facilities, and Operator Restrooms. To develop an ongoing yearly program of projects for bus system improvements, Design Pools A, B, and C were developed. Maintaining a pool of pre-qualified consultants that may be solicited to complete tasks via task order will increase UTA’s efficiency to deliver system enhancement projects yearly and utilize the programmed budget. Since requirements and budgets are established on an annual basis, this contract is for one year with four additional one-year options to be exercised contingent on the availability of funds.
DISCUSSION:
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. qualified for Pool A only
• Pool A-Bus Stops $300,000 for one year
No work is authorized, nor funds obligated until a task order is issued under this contract. Individual task orders totaling $200,000 or more will be brought to the board for approval. If the cost of all task orders issued under year one of this agreement exceeds $300,000 additional board approval will be required. Board approval will be obtained for the exercise of subsequent options which exceed $200,000 in value.

ALTERNATIVES:
By not developing a pool of consultants for design services, UTA is compromised in its ability to deliver system enhancement projects. The alternative to executing contracts for design services in each pool category would require three RFQu’s for design services every year and create additional work while possibly impacting completion dates. The current approach streamlines the process, allows for more efficient delivery, and helps ensure the project gets completed on time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2023 Capital Budget includes funds for bus stop design services.
