RE: Professional Services Agreement for Feasibility Study for the Reconstruction of
Red Arrow Park Parking Lot / AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM)
($38,455)
The City of Oshkosh (City) is considering reconstructing the Red Arrow Park Parking Lot and
eventually tearing down the two (2) wooden buildings/shelter that currently exist there.
Historical records indicate that this area was the location of an unlicensed municipal solid waste
disposal site. Therefore, the feasibility and durability of a parking lot on this site is questionable.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)
considers this an abandoned landfill site, and will likely require an exemption to permit
construction on this site.
The Transportation Department requested a proposal from AECOM to perform a feasibility
study. AECOM was chosen due to their extensive experience with former landfills and their
work on similar City projects. The scope of services includes: WDNR coordination for permit
requirements, a preliminary subsurface exploration, storm water management concepts, and an
opinion of probable construction cost for this project.
Transportation Department and Department of Public Works 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.
The proposed fee is not to exceed $38,455. Funding for these services is included in the 2020 CIP
budget for parking lots. The account number is 0323-1717-7216-63001.
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.
