Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Approve contract and authorize the executive director to execute a material procurement and associated disbursements with  SK Polymer Co. Ltd. in the amount of $1,062,600.00                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

There has been a potential safety issue identified.  When a customer boards our Frontrunner vehicle, there is a gap which poses a threat of having someone potentially fall in between the platform and the vehicle.  The gap filler will install a rubber-based barrier on the platform reducing the gap.  This is like the gap filler used at the new Vineyard platform. 

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

This procurement would install gap filler on the remaining Frontrunner platforms.  The cost of the material is $1,062,600.00.  The material lead time is approximately 5 months.  

There is budget in the 2022 capital budget to cover the material procurement.
