Contract: Collision and Auto Body Repair Services Contract Pool (Benjamin J Lucero dba Straight Line Auto Body)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute contract 25-039403 and associated disbursements with Benjamin J Lucero (dba Straight Line Auto Body) in the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $520,000 for the entire pool over five (5) years as one of four vendors in a Collision and Auto Body Repair Services vendor pool.
BACKGROUND:
UTA is utilizing a pool of contracted vendors to provide collision and auto body repair services to help maintain the state of good repair of approximately 525 Rideshare/Vanpool vehicles, approximately 583 insured UTA owned vehicles, and third-party claimant vehicles of different makes and models in operation throughout various counties in Utah.
After conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation, UTA received multiple proposals. After evaluation, UTA chose to proceed with a multiple-award contract, creating a vendor pool of four vendors. Benjamin J Lucero (dba Straight Line Auto Body) was one of the four selected vendors with the best overall value.
DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is requesting approval of the contracts under the vendor pool for a total aggregate amount for all contractors in the vendor pool in the (NTE) amount of $520,000 over a five (5) year period. The contracts allow for P-Card purchases for service transactions of less than $5,000; otherwise, payment shall be invoiced after services have been performed. This payment method is required to allow payment flexibility between UTA’s vehicle operators and contracted service providers within the vendor pool.
Applicable Contracts: 25-039401, 25-039402, 25-039403, and 25-039404.
Actual cost will be tracked and managed by the Procurement Department.
