AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the executive director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with FFKR Architects in the amount of $288,275 for the Depot District CNG Fueling Bay Addition Design and a construction support option, to be exercised in UTA’s sole discretion, in the amount of $127,652 for a total contract value of $415,652
BACKGROUND:
UTA was awarded a Low or No Emission Grant to add 25 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses to the fleet. These buses will be housed at the Central Depot District Garage and will operate on the 5600 West Bus Route. In order to support these buses, additional CNG fueling capacity is needed. The Depot District CNG fueling building was master-planned for expansion when it was built in 2015.
DISCUSSION:
UTA issued a request for qualifications for an architecture & engineering firm to design an additional fueling bay equipped with a CNG dispenser and other ancillary equipment to be added to the existing Central Depot District Garage. FFKR Architects was selected through this procurement process. The contract includes the preparation of construction documents for the expansion with optional construction phase services.
