FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager 0---T
DATE: August 22, 2019
RE: Professional Services Agreement for Construction-Related Engineering
Services for Contract 19-01 West Waukau Avenue Gallups-Merritts Creek
Crossing Reconstruction/Strand Associates, Inc. (Strand) ($49,500)
The Winnebago County Highway Department inspects all bridges within the City of Oshkosh on
a bi-annual basis in accordance with Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT)
requirements. Those reports are submitted to the WDOT upon completion. As a result of the
inspection completed in late 2016, the WDOT required that the West Waukau Avenue Bridge
over Gallups/Merritts Creek be weight restricted to twenty (20) tons. This restriction was
immediately communicated to Oshkosh Corporation, the largest nearby company impacted by
the restriction. The City selected Strand to design a new bridge crossing at this location and to
assist with preparing bidding documents.
Engineering Division requested Strand provide a proposal for performing construction-related
engineering services for this project. The proposed services include providing contract
administration, providing one (1) iteration of construction staking for the construction of the box
culvert, providing up to six (6) weeks of full-time observation of construction on the box culvert,
and providing record drawings.
Strand was chosen to perform these services because of their familiarity of the design and
experience in providing similar services to the City.
The proposed fee is not to exceed $49,500. Funding for these services is included in the 2019
Capital Improvements Program.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured without the use of formal,
sealed quotes. In accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report
regarding this professional services agreement.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this professional services agreement.
