Pre-Procurement

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Informational report for discussion                      

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:                                                                                                                                      

                     Bi-Level Seating Foam

The FrontRunner maintenance department is seeking to contract with a supplier to provide foam material for ongoing foam and reupholstery needs of seats in thirty-eight (38) Bi-level passenger rail cars. 

 

Over time the seat foam on the FrontRunner passenger cars wears out and no longer provides cushion or comfort for our riders.  The seat foam will be ordered, as needed, and sent to UTA to be kitted together with the seat cores and vinyl upholstery, and then sent to an upholstery service provider for rebuild. 

 

This procurement will be conducted as an Invitation for Bid (IFB), where the contract award will be solely based on the lowest 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 2025 State of Good Repair budget under code SGR040. (Req 15456, PM Ryan Gardner)
