ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is tasked to provide additional onsite Covid 19 bus and streetcar cleaning and disinfecting at the Duncan Plaza Bus Hub, the UPT streetcar terminal, and the end of line streetcar shelter located at Carrollton and Claiborne. Vendor needs to provide two workers at each location for a total of six workers, plus one traveling supervisor. Vendor will also need to provide disposable cleaning rags. This is a 7 day a week contract from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm daily. This CO will cover the additional cleaning needs from 7/1/2021 - 12/31/2021. Egle’s monthly quote is $20,427.08 (see back-up quote attached). This change order is for an additional six (6) months of service for a total of $122,562.48.
end
DISCUSSION:
In an abundance of caution two small change orders were issued for additional Covid cleaning that started in late December 2020 and has continued through today. This request is to cover these services through the end of the calendar year. If it is determined that these services are not required for the entire period, they will be discontinued.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Egle’s original contract for all RTA facilities is $307,488.00. The prior change orders executed totaled $131,205.40. The additional CO will cost the RTA $122,562.48 if we extend it out to December 31, 2021. The total contract value will be $561,255.88.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon Board approval, procurement will issue the change order through December 31, 2021. During the performance of this contract, Operations and Safety will assess the need for the additional Covid cleaning based on the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Federal Transit Authority (FTA).
