AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Pre-Procurement
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Utah’s Public Transit District Act requires all contracts valued at $200,000 or greater be approved by the UTA Board of Trustees. This informational report on upcoming procurements allows Trustees to be informed and provide input on upcoming procurement projects. Following the bid solicitation and contract negotiation process, final contracts for these projects will come before the board for approval.
DISCUSSION:
• On-Call Materials Test and Inspection. This is a procurement to establish a new on-call contract with a firm to perform task orders for materials testing and inspections on various UTA construction projects. Currently the Depot District project, the Meadowbrook Expansion project, the Ogden-Weber BRT project, and several others are all using on-call testing and inspection services to meet either quality control or quality assurance requirements. This new contract will have a three-year term, with two one-year options. This Procurement will be conducted as an RFP, where technical criteria will be scored in addition to price. (Req. 9873, Dane Cooley)
• Architectural Services. UTA is seeking an architectural/engineering firm to support multiple facility planning projects. The requested services include space planning, concept design, schematic design, cost estimates, etc. UTA bus operations facilities at Mt. Ogden, Riverside, Meadowbrook, and Timpanogos are undersized and outdated. The selected consultant will help determine how to optimize the space for current and future needs, as well as develop architectural plans for an expansion that will support the build-out of the facility and develop detailed cost estimates to use for budgeting purposes. In addition, UTA has a project underway to rehab the OK Manufacturing Building (now called JRRSC Bldg. 2) and Semi Service building (Transit Technical Education Center), which will be included in this scope. This procurement will also be conducted as an RFP. (Req. 9771, Hal Johnson)
• Midvalley Connector Final Design. This is a Sole Source procurement with Jacobs Engineering. Taylorsville City originally selected Jacobs Engineering to complete the Midvalley Connector BRT design and produce an advertising package that a contractor could bid on and build. Jacobs Engineering completed a design up to 60% at which point the project became federalized and UTA took over management of the project including the design. The balance of the design contract budget (from 60% to 100% design) was used by Taylorsville City to pay Jacobs Engineering for updating the environmental document. Jacobs Engineering with a 60% design can more cost effectively progress the design to 100%. Another consulting engineering firm would have to review, and validate, all of the work that Jacobs has completed. In essence another firm would have to do a lot of re-design work to get the plans to 100% and significant costs and delays in the project would be incurred. (Req. 9850, Hal Johnson)
• UTA Facilities Structural Analysis. UTA is seeking a firm to conduct seismic structural analyses at various UTA facilities. This effort aims to determine the investments needed to make UTA’s facilities more earthquake resilient. A structural analysis was previously completed on FLHQ and included a Structural Gravity Load Evaluation. UTA is now requesting proposals from qualified consultants to complete this analysis on the Warm Springs facility. An analysis of the Jordan River, Midvale, Meadowbrook, Riverside, Mt. Ogden, and Timpanogos facilities is included in the scope and will be exercised as funding is available. This will be a three-year contract with two one-year options. This will also be conducted as an RFP. (Req. 9577, Hal Jonson)
