Change Order: Electric Buses and Charging Equipment 2nd Order for Charging Equipment (Gillig, LLC)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Change Order #2 and associated disbursements with Gillig, LLC, in the amount of $1,734,082, for four (4) overhead chargers and two (2) depot chargers.
BACKGROUND:
UTA has ordered 20 electric buses for service in Salt Lake County. The project is funded through a combination of UTA, VW Settlement Agreement grant funds, and CMAQ funding. UTA is planning to construct 4 overhead on-route chargers to support the implementation of the electric bus project. UTA has engaged a designer to complete final design for the overhead chargers. A construction contract for the installation of the charging station has been opened to bidders. To ensure compatibility of the buses and charging equipment, UTA is purchasing the charging equipment through the bus vendor. In order to reduce the number and types of chargers UTA needs to maintain, UTA is using ABB depot bus chargers to charge micro transit and on demand fleets. After approval by the Board of Trustees on April 14, 2021, UTA entered into an agreement with Gillig LLC for electric buses and charging equipment. A base order of 44 electric buses, 16 depot chargers, and 4 overhead chargers was placed at that time.
DISCUSSION:
Under the proposed “second order” change order, 4 overhead and 2 depot chargers would be purchased. The four overhead chargers would be installed at the following locations, Wasatch 3900 South, 2100 South (2), and the Salt Lake Central Station. The contract includes the purchase of two 150kWh depot chargers. The depot chargers would be installed at the Orange Street Transit Center to support future micro transit electrification and as a backup to the bus charger.
