RE: CIP Budget adjustment of$150,000 for Lakeshore Riverwalk Project,
Contract No. 19-10
BACKGROUND
The City included the construction of the Lakeshore Riverwalk from I-41/Tribal Heritage Trail
east to Punhoqua Street in the proposal to Oshkosh Corporation for their Global Headquarters
project. Since then, the City has obtained a $793,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources for the construction of a riverwalk. Oshkosh Corporation also made a
$600,000 donation toward the construction of the riverwalk. The City awarded a construction
contract to Payne and Dolan for$1,232,621.00 earlier this summer. Since that time, construction
of the riverwalk has commenced, unfortunately, several soil related conditions will result in
additional construction costs. The proposed $150,000 Budget Amendment is in anticipation of
the Change Orders that are expected. Since construction is underway, the Budget Amendment
will allow staff to direct work to continue and complete the riverwalk as planned, and Council
will still have the opportunity to ratify any Change Orders once final costs are determined.
ANALYSIS
The total scope of the project includes the construction of an asphalt trail from the I-41 right of
way east to the terminus of Punhoqua Street. The riverwalk design is an asphalt trail with lights
and benches. Once construction began, the riverwalk excavation revealed several soil issues
that were not included in the original bid specifications:
• Petroleum impacted soils were uncovered in the old parking lot and it is estimated that
20 truckloads of contaminated soil will need to be hauled and landfilled to continue
construction of the riverwalk. The unanticipated land fill tipping fees must also be paid.
• Fill materials uncovered large chunks of concrete that must be excavated and hauled
away. The City would intend to crush the concrete for future use,but the excavation and
haul costs were not included in the original bid.
• A sink hole was uncovered and additional excavation and fill material was required to
provide a stable base for the riverwalk.
• Additional archeological supervision due to the soil excavations.

• As environmental and construction engineer, AECOM is now required to do additional
analysis, inspections and reporting.
In order for the construction of the riverwalk asphalt trail to proceed and still be completed by
October 1, 2019, the contractor will need to perform all the work in the next 2 weeks. Work is
currently stopped until these issues are resolved. Once the additional work is complete, staff
and the contractor will be able to tally the costs of the additional work. The bridges on the west
end of the project still have a long lead time and will not be installed by October 1st. It is
anticipated that the bridges would still be installed this fall.
The WisDNR will also require additional testing and possible remediation of the remaining un-
excavated petroleum-impacted soils, but that work will not be done as part of the riverwalk
construction. There is no cost estimate for this additional work at this time. The City will be
required to investigate the extent of the petroleum contamination, determine how best to
remediate the environmental conditions, and then remediate the site. An environmental
engineer will be required for all phases. AECOM is currently only doing what is necessary to
keep the riverwalk project on schedule. The additional investigation and remediation work will
be brought back to Council for future consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City funding for the Lakeshore Riverwalk project comes from the 2019 Capital
Improvement Program. In addition to the WisDNR grant funds and the Oshkosh Corporation
donation, the City's share of the funding is$200,000, and was funded,from the Lakeshore land
sale proceeds. The proposed $150,000 Budget Adjustment would be funded by General Funds
that were saved on the Oshkosh Ave. /Koeller St. /Westfield St. street project that was also part
of the Oshkosh Corporation project.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council approves the $150,000 CIP Budget Amendment for the Lakeshore Riverwalk
project due to soil conditions.
