RE: Professional Services Agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group
(Jacobs) for Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Clarifier Mortar
Replacement Engineering Services ($50,120)
The City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) secondary clarifiers were constructed
in the 1970’s. The original mortar installed on floors of the secondary clarifiers is in poor
condition and needs to be replaced. In 2023, the City intends to sequentially take the
clarifiers out of service to remove the existing mortar, prepare the surface for installation
of new mortar, and apply the new mortar. Jacobs was chosen to assist in these services
due to their extensive experience with these types of services and the City’s WWTP.
Jacobs’ services will include identifying and summarizing for City consideration
appropriate mortar materials and replacement methods including cost estimates;
conducting a design review meeting to discuss the mortar replacement alternatives and
schedule for completing the work; preparing the bidding and legal specifications,
technical specifications, and drawings needed to bid and perform the mortar replacement
project; fielding questions from bidders and preparing written responses to any questions
in the form of addenda; reviewing and approving technical submittals; responding to
requests for information; reviewing payment applications; and conducting eight (8)
inspections of the mortar surface preparation and replacement work.
The cost of this agreement is $50,120. Funding for this project is including in the
Wastewater section of the 2022 Capital Improvement Program (Account #03221910-7214-
64006/Sewer Capital Fund-Buildings & Building Imprvmnts-Clarifiers 1-4 Floor
Replacement).
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.
