Such services may include taking of tests or collecting samples of natural or manmade materials at various locations on a project site, and making visual observations related to earthwork, foundations, and /or materials. If the services to be provided by AECOM under this agreement include or are amended to include Construction Monitoring Services, the provisions of this Section 9 shall be an integral part of this agreement and applicable thereto. b. The presence of AECOM field personnel will be for the purpose of providing the client with a professional service based on observations and testing of the work which is performed by a contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service provider. Such services will only be those specifically requested by the Client and agreed to by AECOM. Discrepancies between construction operations or completed work and project requirements which are noted by AECOM field personnel will be referred to the Client, or the Client's representative, as designated prior to AECOM's involvement in the project. c. It is understood and agreed by the Client that the observation and testing of natural and /or man -made materials by AECOM in no way implies a guarantee or warranty of the work of the contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service providers, and the services rendered by AECOM will in no way excuse such contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service providers from liability in the event of subsequently discovered defects, omissions, errors or other deficiencies in their work. The presence or absence of AECOM on the Project site will not affect any obligation of any contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service providers to perform in accordance with the specifications and plans of the Project. The Client further understands that AECOM is not a quality assurance representative for any contractor, subcontractor, or other materialman or service provider on the Project. d. The Client agrees to supply AECOM with specifications, plans, and other necessary material for the Project pertinent to providing its services. e. Due to the nature of its services, observing and field testing the work of contractors, subcontractors, or materialmen or service providers on the Project, AECOM cannot always be responsible for the schedule or length of time its field personnel remain on the Project site. The time AECOM's field personnel spend on the Project site is dependent upon the schedule of the contractor, subcontractor or materialman, or service provider whose work they are observing and/or testing. AECOM shall make reasonable effort to utilize its time on the Project site judiciously, but the Client understands and agrees that any delays, cancellations, rescheduling, overtime or other construction activities that may alter the anticipated number of hours and the anticipated costs of AECOM on the Project site and that are beyond the control of AECOM field personnel are legitimate and chargeable time and will be invoiced at the rates designated in the attached fee schedules. 3 4/09 AECOM • AECOM f. Part-time work is defined as Construction Monitoring Services provided by AECOM where its field personnel are on the Project less than five (5) working days per week or less than forty (40) hours per week, or both. It is agreed that the Client will furnish AECOM with a minimum of one working day's notice, or twenty -four (24) hours notice, whichever is greater, on any part -time work of AECOM if field personnel are requested. AECOM shall make reasonable effort to provide field personnel on all projects, but reserves the right to schedule its field personnel as it deems appropriate, including the scheduling of different field personnel from day to day on any given part-time project of AECOM. The Client agrees to inform AECOM of the anticipated services required by AECOM field personnel on any day, including but not restricted to the kind and number of tests to be required and the anticipated amount of time the field personnel will be required on the Project site. g. All field personnel charges will be made on a portal -to -portal basis. Mileage to and from the Project site will be billed at the rate designated in the attached fee schedules as will any office engineering time needed to review, evaluate or analyze the field data. All calls made by the Client or the Clients representative to cancel requested part-time AECOM field personnel must be received by AECOM in time for AECOM to notify field personnel before they leave for the Project site. AECOM will make reasonable effort to contact its field personnel as quickly as possible, but reserves the right to bill the Client for time incurred in the event AECOM received a cancellation call too late for it to intercept the field personnel enroute to the Project site. Section 10: Opinions of Cost a. AECOM's opinions of probable total Project costs and Project construction costs, if any, provided as part of the services under this Agreement are made on the basis of AECOM's knowledge, experience, and qualifications and represent AECOM's judgment as an experienced and qualified professional engineer, familiar with the construction industry; but AECOM cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual total Project costs or Project construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost provided by AECOM. Section 11: Shop Drawings a. In the event that the scope of services includes review and approval of Shop Drawings or other data which contractor(s) are required to submit, AECOM's review and approval will be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the information given in the Project plans and specifications and shall not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. b. AECOM's review and approval of Shop Drawings or other data shall not relieve the contractor(s) from responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the plans and specifications unless the contractor(s) has, in writing, called AECOM's attention to each such variation at the time of submission and AECOM has given written approval of each such variation by a specific written notation incorporated into or accompanying the Shop Drawing or other data. Approval by AECOM will not relieve the contractor(s) from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings or other data. c. AECOM will accept Shop Drawings or other data submittals only from the contractor(s) required by the Project contract documents to furnish the Shop Drawings or data. AECOM will reasonably promptly review and approve, or take other appropriate action in regard to, Shop Drawings or data properly submitted to AECOM. Section 12: Allocation of Risk a. IN NO EVENT SHALL AECOM BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, FOR CLIENTS LOSS OF PROFITS, DELAY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE ARISING AT ANYTIME OR FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER. b. Subject to any limitations contained in Sec. 893.80 and any similar statute, of the Wisconsin Statutes, the City further agrees to hold AECOM harmless from any and all liability, including claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, and expenses of every kind and description (including death), or damages to person or property arising out of reuse of the documents without consent where such liability is founded upon or grows out of the acts or omission of any of the officers, employees or agents of the City of Oshkosh while acting within the scope of their employment. c.

Background The work identified in Item SS -2 below provides a General Scope of Services for each watershed that is to be modeled as a part of this agreement. Additional supplementary Services for each watershed are identified in Items SS -3 through SS -7. The modeling described below is urban land use hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for the purpose of assessing the capacity of the city's existing stormwater conveyance system, and to analyze potential modifications to the existing system. Unless noted otherwise by the City, the hydrologic / hydraulic modeling will be conducted using XPSWMM or an equivalent model. Specific projects may also require stormwater pollution modeling using WinSLAMM. SS -2. General Scope of Service Items 1. Utilize existing models generated during the City Wide Storm Water Management Plan (December, 2008) as a starting point where appropriate and available. 2. Construct conveyance network model. A. Model all storm sewer mainline segments. i. Unless noted otherwise, "mainline segments" are all storm sewer segments, publicly owned, between manholes, and does not include inlet leads. ii. Open channels and road ditches are also included as a "mainline segment" for purposes of these evaluations. iii. Utilize GIS data provided by the City for storm sewer and storm sewer manholes. iv. Catch Basin and Inlet Leads do not need to be included. v. Do not rely solely on GIS data to determine which pipe segments are mainline and which are leads, as there are several pipe segments that are miscoded in the GIS data. vi. All final determinations must be reviewed and confirmed by the City. B. Generally model all storm manholes. i. Utilize GIS data for storm manholes. ii. Inlets and catch basins do not need to be included. iii. Inlet Manholes shall be included. iv. All final determinations on removing manholes from the modeling must be reviewed and confirmed by the City. C. The tailwater elevation to be utilized will be provided by City Staff. This elevation may not be the same for all watersheds, as the elevation differs from Lake Winnebago up the Fox River to Lake Butte des Morts. 3. Construct Watershed Characteristics. A. Utilize Land Use GIS data provided by City. B. Utilize Impervious Area GIS data for City parcels. C. Utilize Drainage Basin Areas GIS data. D. Review existing watershed boundaries, and revise and update as needed. E. Subdivide into smaller sub - watersheds as needed in order to properly execute the model. F. General area information for public right -of -ways shall account for complete ROW impervious and pervious areas considering the road surface and sidewalks. 4. Execute Existing Conditions Hydrologic and Hydraulic Model. A. Utilize Huff & Angel (Midwest Climate Center Bulletin 71) rainfall depths and 1 quartile rain distributions. B. Node hydrology shall be based on SWMM hydrology methods (not Curve Number hydrology) C. Perform sensitivity analysis to determine which duration storm is the most critical for conveyance system capacities. i. 30- minute duration ii. 1 -hour duration iii. 2 -hour duration iv. 3 -hour duration D. Run model at the critical duration for the following design storm events: i. 1 -year ii. 2 -year iii. 5 -year iv. 10 -year E. Prepare figure showing the flooding depth at nodes for the 10 -year storm event. 5.

The primary goal is to ensure that the maximum water surface elevation from a 10 -year storm event at the critical duration does not surcharge above manhole rim elevations. B. A secondary goal is to contain larger storm flooding (> 10 year) within the ROW. C. Ensure adequate cover over conveyance system is maintained so that structure lids and castings can be installed. D. When system replacement starts at an outfall, there may be opportunities to lower the invert elevations to provide better cover over the collection system. E. Conflicts with existing sanitary sewer elevations shall be taken into account when proposing modification to the storm sewer system. The elevations may change during the reconstruction of streets, but that cannot be assumed for this modeling effort. F. Conflicts with existing water main elevations shall be taken into account for large diameter (16" or larger) distribution mains. The likelihood of being able to offset these mains to accommodate the storm sewer construction is very small. 6. Execute Proposed Conditions Hydrologic and Hydraulic Model. A. Utilize previously determined critical storm duration. B. Run model for the following design storm events: i. 5 -year ii. 10 -year iii. 25 -year iv. 50 -year C. Upon City's request, utilize 2D modeling and the City LiDAR data to "map out" the horizontal extent, depth, and duration of flooding experienced in storm events where flooding is shown to occur. 2D modeling shall take into account building footprints as available on city - provided digital planimetric maps. 7. Prepare deliverable materials. A. Figure showing watershed area with existing and final proposed (recommended) storm sewer pipe sizes, and detention facility footprints shown. B.

A- 2 AECOM Attachment A Storm Sewer System Modeling for the Capital Improvements Program Scope of Services SS - 3. Parkway Avenue Watershed The Parkway Avenue Watershed is a fully developed urban watershed on the northeast side of the City of Oshkosh. The watershed consists of approximately 110 acres. The headwater of the watershed is just east of North Main Street along Parkway Avenue and flows in an easterly direction to an outfall discharge to Lake Winnebago at Menominee Park. Parkway Avenue from Lake Winnebago west to Bowen Street is being reconstructed in 2009. Plan sheets from Contract 09 -07 will be provided to assist in the construction of the model. The storm sewer sizing as a part of this work will start at Bowen Street and proceed upstream into the watershed. The only street scheduled for reconstruction in 2010 is Broad Street between Irving and Parkway. Parkway Avenue west of Bowen Street is not currently in the five -year CIP Plan, however, some other upstream streets are. Ideally the invert elevations of the upstream streets being reconstructed ahead of Parkway Avenue will be approximately the same as existing, but that is not a requirement. SS - 4. Division Street Watershed The Division Street Watershed is a fully developed urban watershed on the north side of the City of Oshkosh. The watershed consists of approximately 225 acres. The headwater of the watershed is just north of West New York Avenue, just east of Jackson Street, and west of North Main Street. The watershed flows in a southerly direction with a storm sewer trunk line under Division Street. The watershed generally encompasses the area between Jackson Street and North Main Street from West New York Avenue south to the Fox River. There are multiple storm sewer ouffalls in this watershed. The primary outfalls are located on Jackson Street, at the Fox River. However, there is a secondary outfall at Commerce Street extended to the Fox River. This secondary outfall takes overflow runoff from the main Division Street storm sewer at Church Avenue. From there, the storm sewer picks up local runoff while flowing in a southerly direction. Of major note with this watershed is the removal of the North Main Street storm sewer north of Church Avenue from the watershed. This storm sewer will be re- routed down North Main Street with the construction of the North Main Street DOT project in 2010. The modeling of the Division Street watershed shall take into account the changes in the storm sewer routing that will take place with that project. In the upper reaches of the watershed portions of the old abandoned Soo Line Railroad right -of -way are present. Some of these abandoned right -of -way segments are still owned by the City of Oshkosh (between Prospect and Scott). As a part of the modeling effort for this watershed, these areas are to be analyzed as potential dry detention basins to provide storage of runoff. Street scheduled for reconstruction in 2010 include: Merrill Street, Prospect Avenue (between North Main Street and Jackson Street), Saratoga Avenue and Central Street. Central Street currently is within the Baldwin Avenue Watershed, however, as a part of the street reconstruction, the storm sewers on Central Street will be evaluated as to which watershed is more feasible to connect to. The lower reaches of this watershed are not being reconstructed at this time. So, while the modeling should make every attempt to provide the City with enough information to proceed with the design at some time in the future, the elevations of the upper reaches cannot be significantly lowered as a part of this design modeling effort.

Ohio Street Watershed The Ohio Street Watershed is a fully developed urban watershed on the south side of the City of Oshkosh. The watershed consists of approximately 75 acres. The headwater of the watershed is just north of West 9th Avenue, between Idaho Street and Ohio Street. The watershed flows in a northerly direction to West 4 Avenue, then flows through easements in a northeasterly direction to the Fox River near Michigan Street. The storm sewer system under Ohio Street was reconstructed with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation project that reconstructed Ohio Street in 2008. Since this portion of the storm sewer system was lust reconstructed in 2008, the modeling shall NOT attempt to alter the system in this area. The storm sewer downstream from Ohio Street to the Fox River has the potential to be altered if beneficial to the system as a whole. Street planned for reconstruction in 2010 include: • 4 Avenue from Ohio Street to Idaho Street • 5 Avenue from Ohio Street to Idaho Street • 8 Avenue from Ohio Street to Idaho Street 6 Avenue from Idaho Street to Knapp Street is planned for reconstruction in 2011. 6 Avenue from Ohio Street to Idaho Street is planned for reconstruction in 2012. SS - 6. Melvin Avenue Watershed The Melvin Avenue Watershed is a fully developed urban watershed on the northeast side of the City of Oshkosh. The watershed consists of approximately 105 acres. The headwater of the watershed is just east of North Main Street along Melvin Avenue and flows in an easterly direction to an outfall discharge to Lake Winnebago at Menominee Park. The Melvin Avenue watershed is located immediately south of the Baldwin Avenue watershed. The watershed contains a low "kettle" near the intersection of Melvin Avenue and Evans Street. In this location, the elevation of the existing street pavement is approximately 6 to 12 inches above summer target lake level. This proximity to the target Lake Winnebago water surface elevation makes the conveyance of storm water runoff very difficult at best. There are two different alternatives to be analyzed for the Melvin Avenue Watershed: 1. Size conveyance system to convey a 10 -year storm event without surcharging onto the street. 2. Size pump station and conveyance system to convey a 10 -year storm event without surcharging onto the street. The analysis shall include cost estimates for implementing both of the alternatives. The analysis shall also include 2D modeling of the watershed for all areas showing flooding in the 25 -year and 50 -year storm events. A decision by City Staff will be made after review of the alternatives. Special items to note for the Melvin Avenue Watershed: • The existing storm sewer on Melvin Avenue crosses an active Railroad track (between Grand and Broad). Adequate cover for a RR crossing must be maintained if the pipe needs to be replaced. • There is an 18" water distribution main crossing Melvin Avenue at Evans Street. • There is an old sanitary interceptor that is currently being utilized as a local sanitary sewer within Hazel Street. This sanitary sewer is a 32" Vitrified Clay pipe and has an invert elevation of approximately 739. • There is a newly installed sanitary sewer interceptor just east of Hazel Street, in Menominee Park. This sanitary sewer is a 60" HOBAS pipe and has an invert elevation of approximately 732. The street reconstruction (on Melvin from Grand to Lake Winnebago) is scheduled for 2010. Therefore, the potential exists to lower the outfall elevation within the lake should cover issues be identified upstream in the watershed.

Knapp Street Portion of Campbell Creek Watershed The Knapp Street portion of the Campbell Creek Watershed is a fully developed urban watershed on the south side of the City of Oshkosh. The watershed consists of approximately 145 acres. The headwater of the watershed is just south of West 1 1 th Avenue, along Knapp Street. The watershed flows in a northerly direction. The watershed discharges to Campbell Creek at the northern end of Knapp Street, just west of the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The existing storm sewer system consists of a dual main system installed under Knapp Street from 8 Avenue north to Campbell Creek. The pipe sizes of the dual system on Knapp St. are as follows: • From 8 Avenue to 7 Avenue: 27" and 21"; • From 7 Avenue to 6 Avenue: 27" and 24 "; • From 6 Avenue to 5 Avenue: 27" and 30 "; • From 5 Avenue to 4 Avenue: 30" and 30 "; • From 4 Avenue to Campbell Creek Outfall: 30" and36 ". Ideally, this dual main system will be replaced with a single main conveyance system. The Foster Heights Subdivision contains a series of dry detention basins to manage peak flow rates from the development. The subdivision is along Foster Street between 4 Avenue and 5 Avenue. These dry detention basins shall be taken into account in the storm sewer modeling. The reconstruction work associated with this watershed will start at the outfall to Campbell Creek. Portions of the upper reaches will be reconstructed in 2010, with the main trunk line scheduled for reconstruction in 2011. With the reconstruction work commencing at the outfall, the opportunity exists to potentially lower the outfall elevation in order to help offset potential cover issues further upstream. Idaho Street from 4 Avenue to 6 Avenue will be reconstructed in 2010. The following street will be reconstruction in 2011: • Knapp Street from 9 Avenue to Campbell Creek • 6 Avenue from Idaho Street to Knapp Street • 5 Avenue from Idaho Street to Knapp Street • 4 Avenue from Idaho Street to Knapp Street This watershed was not included in the City Wide Storm Water Management Plan storm sewer system modeling. Therefore, starting point models are not available from the plan for this watershed.
