RE: Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) for Design Services of the
Parkway Avenue Watershed Detention Basin ($20,400)
BACKGROUND
A professional services agreement with AECOM for providing assistance with
engineering design services for the Parkway Avenue Watershed Detention Basin was
awarded by the Common Council (Council) on July 25, 2017. During the course of the
Project, additional services were requested by City Staff.
ANALYSIS
Due to delays in the negotiation of the property acquisition with Canadian National
Railroad (CN), the Project has extended beyond the original schedule for the Project.
AECOM has worked to continue to support the City through the property acquisition
process with CN. AECOM worked with the City to prepare and submit a Risk Analysis
memorandum to assist the City in their negotiations, which was beyond the original
scope of services for this Project.
As the Project has evolved, the design for the emergency overflow for the pond has
changed. It now includes a swale, which ties into Grant Street, which has resulted in
the need to acquire a new parcel, instead of the easement which was originally planned.
AECOM has assisted the City in the evaluation of the need for this property acquisition
and has performed preliminary work to develop a Certified Survey Map (CSM) for this
property acquisition. As a result of this additional acquisition, it is anticipated that two
(2) CSM’s will now be required.
Because of the extended schedule for the Project, additional effort is also required for
the preparation of technical specifications and bidding documents for the Project.
Updates to the specification to reflect the current City of Oshkosh Standard
Specifications will be required.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has reviewed the amendment and the costs. The amount of this amendment is
time and materials not to exceed $20,400. This will raise the total agreement amount to
$99,050. Funds for this Project are included in the Storm Water section of the 2017
Capital Improvement Program (Account #03210410-2184-04710/Contract Control-
Contracts Payable-Storm Sewer-Storm Sewer/Four-Way Construct).
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 amendment and in
accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending the Council
approve this amendment.
Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
