RE: Approve Professional Service Agreement with AECOM in the amount of
$297,000 for Implementation of Services under the US EPA Brownfield
Assessment Grant
BACKGROUND
The City obtained a US Environmental Protection Agency grant of$300,000 in 2019 for
environmental investigation services in the Sawdust District and any other sites that may need
this work done. In late, 2019, City staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) and received four
proposals from Wisconsin engineering/environmental investigation companies. City staff
analyzed the proposals based on the company's and their staff's experience with
environmental investigation and remediation projects in Oshkosh, experience with the US
EPA and their proposed costs. City staff is recommending the award of the professional
services agreement to AECOM.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Agreement is based on an hourly contract, not to exceed $297,000. Specific
elements of the services to be performed for the project are:
• Phase 1 environmental investigations and reporting.
• Phase 2 environmental testing, analysis and reporting.
• Coordination with US EPA and WisDNR for all site environmental investigations.
• Grant reporting/documentation.
It is anticipated that the investigations into multiple sites will begin in 2020 and extend to 2022.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The hourly rates charged by AECOM are not the highest, nor are the rates the lowest. The cost
of these professional service will be entirely covered by the US EPA grant. The$3,000 in
remaining grant funds will be used for City staff time required for US EPA grant
administration, training and reporting.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council approves the proposed Professional Services Agreement with AECOM for
$297,000.
