AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Pre-Procurement

RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion

BACKGROUND:
Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $200,000 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:
• S-Line Extension Pre-construction and Construction. This is a procurement to contract with a construction firm to provide progressive design-build services for the S-Line Extension from the current end of line at Fairmont Station up to a proposed new station at Highland Drive in Salt Lake City. The project also includes adding double-tracking to the existing alignment from just east of 500 East to just west of 700 East to allow for additional passing area for the trains to maintain the current 15-minute headway. The contract will include a Phase 1 Pre-construction phase to advance the design in order to negotiate a bid cost to complete the construction of the project. Phase 2 will be for Construction, once a cost is agreed to. The contract will include survey, design, drainage, utilities, trackwork, switches, overhead catenary system (OCS), a new platform, landscape, irrigation, and other appurtenances to complete the project. Funding for this project is included in the Capital Development budget under code MSP259. The term of this contract will be for 18 months, and this contract will be procured as an RFP. (Req. 13296, Marcus Bennett)
• On-Call Transit Systems Professional Services, Construction, Maintenance, and Repair. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide Transit Systems professional services such as design, construction, maintenance, and repair work on UTA’s transit system that is beyond the ability of UTA personnel to perform. The systems work performed under this contract are defined as all systems related to train control, communications and fiber installation or splicing, overhead catenary systems, and traction power systems. The work will be on an on-call basis during the term of the contract, but the volume of work is large enough to require three (3) full-time contractor personnel to manage the work. Funding for this contract is included in the State of Good Repair and Capital Development budgets. The term of this contract will be for 3 years, plus two 1-year options for extension. This procurement will be conducted as an RFP. (req. 24-03814VW, Dean Hansen)
• Rideshare and Vanpool Preventive Maintenance. This is a procurement to establish pricing and contracts with several oil & lube shops across Utah for the preventive maintenance of UTA’s approximately 525 Rideshare and Vanpool vehicles. Services provided will include oil changes, filter changes, and minor consumables such as windshield wipers. The term for this contract will be for 5 years. Funding for this contract is included in the Rideshare Operating Expense budget, and the procurement will be conducted as an RFP. (req. Laserfiche, Mike Goldman).
• Facilities Remodel/Reconfiguration General Contractor. The facility development department is seeking a contracting firm to perform on-call general contracting needs inside of UTA facilities. This engagement would replace the current practice of bidding out individual jobs, which will greatly increase the speed and efficiency of performing necessary contractor work. Hourly rates will be pre-established in a rate matrix and will identify the hourly rate for the type of work being done for each task. Funding for this contract is included in the Capital Development budget under code FMA679, or various department budgets depending on the scope of work. This procurement will be conducted as an RFQu, where award will be given to the most qualified firm. The term of this contract will be for 3 years, plus two 1-year options for extension.
