Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize Executive Director to execute FrontRunner Forward Environmental Services Pool Contract Task Order No. 01 and associated disbursements with Parametrix Constult, Inc. in the amount of 692,725.

BACKGROUND:
UTA has identified sections of double tracking as a part of the Initial Investment Plan to improve FrontRunner speed and frequency. These identified projects must move through the environmental and preliminary design as a next step to keep the FrontRunner Forward Program moving.
The pool of qualified environmental consultants was selected and allows UTA to advance quickly into the environmental work once the investments/improvements are identified. A Master Task Ordering Agreement with Parametrix Consult, Inc. was approved by the Board of Trustees on January 12, 2022.
UTA desires to execute a Task Order with Parametrix Consult, Inc. to provide environmental study and preliminary design services for FrontRunner Forward Initial Investment Projects Package 1.

DISCUSSION:
This contract amendment is to approve Task Order No. 1 with Parametrix Consult, Inc. to provide environmental professional services to advance FrontRunner improvements through environmental study and preliminary design. This includes the design needed to continue coordination with Union Pacific Railroad in order to advance to an agreement with them. Package #1 includes the following segments:
• Clearfield to Roy segment (3.7 miles)
• Centerville to Woods Cross (2.0 miles)
• Lehi segment (1.6 miles)
• American Fork segment (2.6 miles)
