Notes:
(1) Includes an estimated 10% cut in Transit Aid. Excludes 10% cut in state aid to public library systems since
State agencies have not released information on how the cut will be distributed to individual communities and
libraries.
(2) For simplicity, savings are based on 2011 budget rather than on estimates of 2012 budget. Payroll costs may
not increase much from 2011 to 2012, so the pension saving should be reasonably accurate. Health insurance
costs will likely increase in 2012, so using 2011 costs may overstate the savings..
(3) MOE REMOVED BYJFC ON 6 -2 -11
(4) Pension and health insurance contributions from utility and other non - general fund employees will create
savings in the utility or other fund. The savings may produce rate reductions in the sewer, water, electric, or
storm water utilities. In accordance with sound accounting practices, our community does not utilize utility or
enterprise funds to support the general fund.
(5) The City of Oshkosh does not pay retirement or health for elected officials so there is not an amount
included for this.

RE: Engineering Services Agreement Amendment -
Westfield Street Bridge - Strand Associates (Strand)
In November, 2010, a contract was awarded to Strand to conduct design services for the
Westfield Street Bridge over Sawyer Creek. This contract was previously amended in March of
2011. Through the course of performing these services, the scope of the project was revised, to
include additional utility design services, and to revise previously approved work.
The additional utility design services included design for reconstructing the water main and
sanitary sewer in the vicinity of the Westfield Street Bridge. The revisions to the design were
done to reduce / eliminate the need to obtain easements from adjacent property owners to
facilitate the construction of the project.
The amount of this contract amendment is $15,000. This will raise the total contract to an
amount not to exceed $195,000. The original contract was funded partially by the Storm Water
Utility and partially by the Street Improvements portion of the Capital Improvements Program.
The work associated with this contract amendment is being split between the accounts with the
same percentages as the original contract, 70% to the Storm Water Utility, 30% to the Street
Improvements. Funding for these services is available in both accounts.
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 amendment
