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:
• South Jordan TRAX Station Construction. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide construction of a new TRAX platform in South Jordan near the future baseball stadium. It will be procured as a CMGC contract so that the contractor can help identify and mitigate long lead-time procurement items. The first phase will be for contractor input and assistance during the final design of the platform, and the second phase will be for the actual construction of the platform. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2024 with a completion date in the spring of 2025. Funding for this project is included in the Capital Development budget under code MSP300. The term of this contract will be for 18 months, and the procurement will be conducted as an RFP where technical criteria will be evaluated and scored in addition to price. (Req. 13142, David Osborn)
• UTA Facilities Waste Collection and Disposal. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide waste collection and disposal for all UTA facilities from Ogden to Provo. Funding for this contract is included in the Facilities Maintenance Operating Expense budget, and payments will be made by each division to the vendor using their p-card. The term of this contract will be for 5 years, and the procurement will be conducted as an IFB where award will be given to the lowest-priced vendor. (Req. 13180, Guy Miner)
• Westside Express Design. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide final design of the Westside Express bus project. The project includes the design of four park-and-ride lots, 22 bus stops along the 5600 West corridor, and traffic improvements. The project will include survey, geotechnical, utilities, drainage design, park and rides, bus stops, and traffic analysis. Coordination with Cities and UDOT will be a necessary component to the project’s success. Funding for this project is included in the Capital Development budget under code MSP260. The term of the contract will be for a term of 2 years, and the procurement will be conducted as an RFP. (Req. 13194 Travis College)
• Bridge Inspection Program. This is a procurement to contract with a firm to provide bridge inspection services. Inspection of UTA bridges is required by the FRA to be completed on an annual basis. These rail bridges and culverts are located long UTA’s rail corridors and include both Commuter Rail and Light Rail. Bridge inspections require physical inspection of bridges and associated components with photos, documentation, and ratings to identify any potential hazards/concerns. Funding for this contract is included in the State of Good Repair Capital Services budget under code SGR359. This contract will be a 3-yr contract with two 1-year options, and the procurement will be conducted as an RFP. (Req. 13225, Grey Turner)
