RE: Approve Professional Services Agreement with AECOM for
Environmental Support for 2023 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
($120,000)
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from AECOM for environmental
support for the 2023 calendar year. The services provided under this proposal include,
but are not limited to, Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, site
investigations/characterizations and cleanups, documentation of contaminated soil
removal during construction activities, and offsite treatment and disposal applications
and approvals.
ANALYSIS
AECOM was chosen for this work due to their field office in Oshkosh, their knowledge
of the City, and vast experience with this type of work from our previous programs. The
work associated with this Project requires an extremely short response time in order to
reduce/eliminate down time charges from contractors. When contamination is
discovered in the field, the Contractor cannot proceed with work until the Consultant is
on site to test, document, and ensure the materials are handled appropriately in
accordance with all local, state, and federal laws.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has reviewed the agreement and costs. The cost of these services is estimated not to
exceed $120,000, and will be charged to the Storm Water Utility, Water Utility, Sanitary
Sewer Utility, or the Street Paving CIP depending on the location of any contamination
encountered. Funding is available in all four (4) accounts (Account #03210410-68XX-
XXXXX/Multiple Funds).

RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh (Code) provides that professional
services of a specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured without
the use of formal, sealed quotes. I have reviewed this agreement and in accordance with
Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending that the Common Council approve
the award of this professional services agreement.
Approved:
