RE: Award of Engineering Services Agreement —
Westfield Street Bridge / Strand Associates. (Strand)
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from Strand for the preparation of
construction documents associated with the construction of the Westfield Street Bridge over
Sawyer Creek.
Strand was chosen due to their experience with recent bridge design projects, and their storm
water modeling efforts for the Sawyer Creek Watershed. The cost of these design services is
estimated not to exceed $115,000.00. Of this total, $81,000 will be paid for by the Storm Water
Utility. The remaining $34,000 will be paid for from the Street Improvements portion of the
Capital Improvements Program. Funding is available in both accounts for these services.
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.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this contract award.
