BACKGROUND:
In March of 2021, UTA executed contract 20-03382VW with Rocky Mountain Systems Services (RMSS) for on-call systems maintenance.

On November 18, 2022, UTA executed change order #23-001 to exercise the two, one-year term options, ending on December 31, 2025. The original contract value was estimated at $15,000,000. On April 12, 2023, the UTA Board of Trustees approved an increase of the estimated contract value to $30,000,000.
Typical task orders under this contract include:
• Support for rail and maintenance of way systems
• Upgrades, repairs, analysis, and training of train control systems
