RE: Award of Professional Services Agreement — Main Street Right -of -Way
Acquisition
Engineering staff requested proposals from three firms to perform the appraisal and
acquisition services on Main Street from the Fox River to Irving Avenue. Temporary
and permanent easements are required from 34 properties on this project to allow for
the reconstruction of public sidewalks and handicap ramps. Six of the properties are
located along the US Highway 45 portion of Main Street from the Fox River to Algoma
Boulevard. The remaining properties are located in the portion of Main Street under the
jurisdiction of the City of Oshkosh.
A proposal from Timbers- Selissen Land Specialists, Inc. (Timbers) was selected as
most appropriate for this work. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT)
has concurred with the selection of Timbers. The City of Oshkosh has previously used
Timbers for similar acquisitions that were required for the 2008 project on Ohio Street.
The proposed fee is estimated not to exceed $37,400. The WisDOT is responsible for
75% of the cost for parcels located in the section of Main Street designated at US
Highway 45. The Street Section of the CIP includes funding for the remaining City
portion of these costs.
Section 12 -10 (D) (5) of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including real estate 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.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this contract award.
