Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve change order #23-002 (Limited Notice-to-Proceed for Phase 2 to Procure Long-Lead Materials) to the Light Rail Red Signal Enforcement System Phase 1 contract with Rocky Mountain System Services (RMSS) and authorize the Executive Director to execute contract and associated disbursements in the amount of $4,247,949.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

In July 2017, UTA released a Request for (RFP) for a Construction Manager/General Contactor (CMGC) for Phase 1: Preconstruction Services of the Light Rail Red Signal Enforcement Systems project. RMSS was selected as the winner based on overall scoring using the best value format.  The Executive Director executed the contract with RMSS on April 26, 2018.  Section 8 of the contract allows for an amendment to execute Phase 2: Construction Services, if UTA and RMSS agree on scope and price.  

On November 9, 2018, UTA put the Light Rail Red Signal project on hold to allow the Federal Transit Authority to complete the new Safety Rail Protocols. The contract resumed on September 22, 2022, via a Notice-to-Proceed letter to RMSS. The Phase 1 scheduled completion date was March 11, 2023. On March 8, 2023, the UTA Configuration Control Committee approved a Phase 1 time extension change order (#23-001) through December 31, 2023.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

UTA is requesting approval of change order 23-002 with RMSS.
