Stacy Witbeck has completed its third contract, and is currently working on the fourth, for UTA’s light rail and commuter rail systems. A range of scopes are performed on these task-order based contracts, from the total replacement of a half grand union to the light rail system to improve ADA access to transit facilities. Much of the work is and was performed on weekends and at night to avoid impacting UTA’s active operations. Additionally, work was performed next to Union Pacific Railroad, which required coordinating joint grade crossing reconstruction.
These task-orders have required coordinating with more than 14 cities, as well as dozens of businesses and community members. Much of the work requires temporary impacts to the bus and rail systems, so UTA and Stacy Witbeck work together to maintain a calendar with information from each stakeholder.
Maintenance work is coordinated around UTA’s revenue operations for FrontRunner trains (under FRA jurisdiction), light rail trains, streetcars, maintenance facility operations, and bus operations. To date, we successfully negotiated and completed over 300 separate task orders. Task orders have consisted of platform surface rehabilitation, tactile and sidewalk replacement, track construction and/or repairs, mitigation of stray current issues, CIP wall construction, platform widening, storm drain installation, bus loop concrete replacement, OCS foundations, asphalt paving, site grading, and concrete work.
Many of these orders require a quick turnaround, making coordination and schduling critical aspects for the continued success of UTA's operations.
