AGENDA ITEM TYPE:                                                                                                                        

Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with Okland Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $861,486, for UTA Headquarters and Salt Lake Central redevelopment Phase I Preconstruction Services .                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

In 2019, the UTA Board of Trustees adopted the Salt Lake Central Station Area Plan. That plan contemplated UTA relocating its headquarters within a mixed-used development at and around the Salt Lake Central station. The development would provide excellent access for UTA employees and other building tenants, spur the redevelopment of the station area, and act as a gateway to Salt Lake City at the most transit-rich location in the state.

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) engaged in the conceptual design phase of this project. This preconstruction advisory role will add Okland Construction’s construction advising expertise to that process.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

As a result of a competitive procurement, UTA has selected Okland Construction Inc.  to lead preconstruction advisory efforts for the redevelopment of the Salt Lake Central Station, which will include a new mixed-use structure for UTA’s headquarters.

The approval of this contract will only execute the first phase of preconstruction services. This will include the Conceptual and Schematic Design phases of the project.

If a preferred Conceptual Design is selected to move into future design development phases, this contract will allow the agency to continue utilizing Okland’s services. Any additional services or costs beyond the requested $861,486 would require future board approval according to statutory board approval thresholds.

ALTERNATIVES:                                                                                                                                    

The board could recommend amendments or reject the proposed contract. Either option would cause significant delays to the project and potentially increase costs. It is unlikely that a significantly better consultant team would be found through a new procurement.

FISCAL IMPACT:                                                                                                                                

Request is only for services in 2024. Budget is approved in 5-Year Capital Plan.  Any future expense associated with this project is dependent on budget and future board approval, as required.
