MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 19, 2009
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
RE: Award of Engineering Services Agreement —
Tipler School Area (Campbell Creek) Stormwater Detention Basin Design / Strand
Associates Inc.;
Engineering staff requested a proposal from Strand Associates Inc. to perform the final design
engineering and prepare construction plans and specifications for the proposed dry stormwater detention
basin behind Tipler School. The pond was recommended in the Campbell Creek Stormwater
Management Plan Report and Addendum No. 1 to the report. The Oshkosh Area School District is in
agreement with the project.
A proposal was requested from Strand Associates Inc. due to their involvement and familiarity with the
project. Strand Associates Inc. completed the Campbell Creek reports and prepared all of the flood
modeling in the Campbell Creek Basin. This will allow for faster design of the project and for construction
to occur in 2009 while school is out of session.
Engineering staff have reviewed the proposal and costs. The services to be provided will allow for the
bidding of the Tipler Stormwater Detention Basin. The proposed fee is not to exceed $102,200.
Section 12- 10(D)(5) of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized nature,
including engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager without the use of formal, sealed
quotes. In accordance with 12 -10(E) of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this
contract award. Funds for these services are budgeted in the Storm Sewer section of the CIP.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this contract award.
