AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve award and authorize Executive Director to execute the contract and associated distributions with Paulsen Construction in the amount of $2,136,458.26.
BACKGROUND:
The 650 South TRAX platform project is the construction of a new TRAX platform at 650 South Main Street in Salt Lake City. The new platform at 650 Main is the subject of an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement (ILA) between the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) and UTA. The ILA was approved by Board Resolution R2020-12-12 on December 16, 2020. Under the ILA, there are multiple funding sources for this platform. The largest share of the funding is coming from developers through agreements with the RDA. UTA will fund the construction of a snow melt system within the platform and provide signs for the platform. The remainder of the funding is from the RDA and the developers.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to execute a construction contract for the new TRAX platform on 650 South Main Street. UTA competed and selected a construction contractor through a Best Value selection process for the 650 South TRAX Station Project. Paulsen Construction was selected based on highest score and therefore represents the best value to UTA. UTA would like to enter into a construction contract with Paulsen Construction to begin work on this project. UTA staff is requesting approval to enter into a contract with Paulsen Construction for this platform construction project. A Notice to Proceed will not be issued until the developer funds have been placed into escrow. The developer contributions are scheduled to be placed in escrow by July 20, 2021 as described in the First Amendment to the ILA Construction Agreement for the TRAX 650 South Main Passenger Station between the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City and UTA. Amendment No. 1 to the ILA adjusts the cost shares for UTA, RDA, and the developers and establishes a new construction timeline. It is also before the Board for approval on July 14, 2021.
