Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Change Order 1, and associated disbursements, on the S-Line Extension Phase 1 Pre-Construction Design Services contract with Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. (Kiewit) in the amount of $1,117,471.11 for modified design services.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

UTA has been working collaboratively with Salt Lake City to extend the S-Line Streetcar from the existing end of the line at Fairmont Station (1040 East) to the heart of the Sugar House business district at Highland Drive.

 

UTA issued an RFP for a Progressive Design Build contractor to design and build the S-line Extension and Double Tracking. On September 25th, 2024, the UTA Board of Trustees approved contract 24-03849 with Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. for Phase 1 Pre-Construction Design Services on the S-Line Extension.

 

At the time, the scope included a single-track extension with a new station just to the west of Highland Drive and additional double tracking between 500 East and 700 East. Subsequently, an opportunity arose to extend the S-Line across Highland Drive into the Sugar House Shopping Center (which was the original goal of Salt Lake City). As the project team was approaching the 60% design submittal for the previous design, Salt Lake City requested that UTA evaluate the cost and schedule impacts of modifying the project. After completing this analysis and discussing with Salt Lake City and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), it was determined that the modification should be pursued. UDOT is currently seeking additional Transit Transportation Investment Fund (TTIF) funds to support increased construction costs.

 

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

This change order reflects the requested design modifications to the S-Line Extension. It will allow the project to achieve a 100% design. Once UTA and Kiewit agree on a scope of construction services and a guaranteed maximum price for those services, UTA will execute an

amendment to this agreement for Phase 2 Final Design and Construction Services.
