RE: Approve Agreement for Professional Services Related to
Construction of City Contract 20-05 Work Unit B—West 281h Avenue Pump Station
Upgrades/Jacobs Engineering Group (Jacobs) ($445,775)
BACKGROUND
In November 2019,Jacobs was selected to prepare the design and bid documents for the West 281h
Avenue Pump Station upgrades project. Jacobs was selected based on their experience in
performing these types of services for the City. Due to the knowledge Jacobs has related to this
project, Jacobs was requested to prepare a proposal to provide construction-related engineering
and control system integration services for this project.
ANALYSIS
Engineering Division staff carefully reviewed the scope of services and the proposed cost, and
found that it is in line with the level of effort necessary to complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed cost is not to exceed $445,775. Funding for the project is included in the Public
Infrastructure Improvements — Wastewater Utility section of the 2020 Capital Improvement
Program. This cost is included in the Estimated Total Construction Cost listed in the memo
recommending the award of the construction of Contract 20-05 to PTS Contractors, Inc.,which is
also being presented at this Council meeting.
RECOMMENDATIONS
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. I have reviewed the proposal and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I
am hereby recommending that the Common Council approve this agreement.

we anticipate soil testing to include determination of dry density and material gradation. We also
anticipate testing will include extraction gradations for bituminous pavement and compressive strength for
concrete materials placed.
• Provide field testing to document conformance with plans and specifications. Record horizontal and
vertical coordinates of individual test to allow later identification and inclusion in the project construction
documents. Field testing to include: nuclear density compaction testing for soils and bituminous pavement
and cast-in-place concrete placement monitoring.Subcontract laboratory testing services as required.
• Document construction and test locations with a PDA/tablet computer(YUMA). The information to be
