Contract: Lehi Pedestrian Bridge and Mainline Path Repairs (Granite Construction Company)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute sole-source contract no. 24-03882, and associated disbursements, with Granite Construction Company in the amount of $799,273 to repair the damaged section of the Lehi Pedestrian Bridge and Mainline Path.
BACKGROUND:
Over the last several years, UTA has been engaged in the TIGER Program of projects to construct first and last mile improvements across the UTA service area.
The Lehi Pedestrian Bridge project was part of the TIGER Program and was completed in March 2022. At this time, Lehi City received the bill-of-sale from UTA to own, operate, and maintain the bridge and associated trail leading to the bridge. Part of this agreement included a 1-year warranty on the constructed improvements. In January 2023, the Lehi area received a significant amount of rain over several days and overwhelmed the drainage system associated with the bridge. As a result, some of the supporting approach fill was eroded away and created void areas under the south approach slab. In addition, the western portion of the pavement and embankment fill settled approximately 18 inches, creating a safety hazard to the bicyclists and pedestrians using the trail. These hazards were fixed temporarily to eliminate the immediate safety risk, however, there needs to be a permanent fix to this damaged part of the trail and bridge embankment.
DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is requesting approval of sole-source contract #24-03882 with Granite Construction to complete the repairs needed to the Lehi Pedestrian Bridge project in the amount of $799,273. The scope of this request includes all time, labor, materials, and other items needed to repair the existing embankment and asphalt path. These permanent repairs to the damaged bridge embankment and path will ensure the safety of the pedestrians using the bridge and fulfill UTA's obligation to Lehi City and the US Department of Transportation. The contract pricing has been determined to be fair and reasonable based on an independent cost estimate and schedule analysis.

ALTERNATIVES:
If the repairs to the Lehi Pedestrian Bridge are not made, there could be significant safety concerns for the pedestrians using the bridge/trail. This, in turn, could create liability issues for UTA.
UTA could advertise these repairs as a separate construction contract. However, this would add additional cost and time to the project. Granite Construction is already under contract with UTA and is familiar with the construction means and methods that were used in the original project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2024 approved Capital budget includes funding to make repairs to the Lehi Ped Bridge. The total Lehi Pedestrian Bridge's Mainline Path repairs is estimated to be $799,273. All funds will come from the approved 2024 Capital budget.
• 2024 Budgeted Total: $800,000
• MSP205 Tiger Project 2024 Capital Budget $2,024,000
