April, 2009
These General Conditions of Service,including any Supplemental Conditions of Service which are or may become
applicable to the services described in AECOM's Proposal,are incorporated by reference into the foregoing Proposal and
shall also be incorporated by reference into any Agreement under which services are to be performed by AECOM for the
Client. No agreement or understanding,oral or written,which in any way modifies or waives these General Conditions of
Service,shall be binding on AECOM (whether contained in the Client's purchase forms or otherwise)unless hereafter
made in writing and executed by AECOM's authorized representative.
Section 1: Scope of Work
a. The scope of work and the time schedules defined in the Proposal are based on the information provided by the

Agreement equitably adjusting the costs,performance time,and/or terms and conditions thereunder,shall be
executed by the Client and AECOM as soon as practicable. AECOM,at its discretion,may suspend
performance of its services until such an Amendment has been executed and, if such an Amendment is not
agreed to within a reasonable time,AECOM may terminate this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to this Section,the Client shall pay AECOM for all services performed prior to termination
and termination expenses as set forth in Section 15c of these General Conditions of Service.
Section 2: Billings and Payments
a. Payments for services and reimbursable expenses will be made on the basis set forth in the attached proposal.
AECOM shall periodically submit invoices for services performed and expenses incurred and not previously

anniversary date of the effective date of this agreement.
b. The Client shall provide AECOM with a clear written statement within fifteen(15)days after receipt of the invoice
of any objections to the invoice or any portion or element thereof. Failure to provide such a written statement
shall constitute a waiver of any such objections and acceptance of the invoice as submitted.
c. The Client's obligation to pay for the services performed by AECOM under this Agreement shall not be reduced
or in any way impaired by or because of the Client's inability to obtain financing,zoning, approval of
governmental or regulatory agencies,or any other cause, reason, or contingency. No deduction shall be made
from any invoice on account of penalty or liquidated damages nor will any other sums be withheld or set off from
payments to AECOM. Client further agrees to pay AECOM any and all expenses incurred in recovering any
delinquent amounts due,including,but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees,arbitration,or other dispute
resolution costs,and all court costs.
d. If any subpoena or court order is served upon AECOM and/or any of its staff, subconsultants or subcontractors
requiring presentation of documents or the appearance of AECOM's staff,subconsultants or subcontractors at a
trial,deposition,or for other discovery purposes arising out of AECOM's services performed under this
Agreement,Client will pay AECOM's fees(if any)applicable to AECOM's compliance with the subpoena or court
order. Fees will be based on actual units used at the standard rates in effect at time of service upon AECOM of
the subpoena or court order. Billings shall include time and expenses incurred gathering,organizing,duplicating
documents, preparing to give testimony,travel,and testifying in deposition or trial.
Section 3: Right of Access
a. If services to be provided under this Agreement require the agents,employees,or contractors of AECOM to
enter onto the Project site, Client shall provide right-of-access to the site to AECOM,its employees,agents and
contractors,to conduct the planned field observations or services.
b If the scope of services includes,or is amended to include,the performance of exploratory borings or test pit
excavations,Client will furnish to AECOM all diagrams,and other information in its possession or reasonably
attainable by Client indicating the location and boundaries of the site and subsurface structures(pipes,tanks,
cables, sewers,other utilities,etc.)in such detail as to permit identifying, in the field,boring/test pit locations
which will avoid interferences with any subsurface structures. AECOM will utilize"Diggers Hotline"to locate and
mark public utilities. Client shall indemnify and hold AECOM harmless from liability on account of damages to
subsurface structures or injury or loss arising from damage to subsurface structures,the locations of which are
not indicated or are incorrectly indicated by Diggers Hotline or the information provided by the Client.

Conssf.98k(Aug 13, 1998) 2
CDBG consulting-agreement-and-authorization-to-proceed
test pit locations.
d. AECOM shall take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site due to its operations, but AECOM has
not included in its fee,and is not responsible for,the cost of restoration for any damage resulting from its
operations. At the Client's request and for additional fee,AECOM will,to the extent reasonably practicable,
restore the site to conditions substantially similar to those existing prior to AECOM's operations.
Section 4: Safety
a. It is understood and agreed that,with respect to Project site health and safety,AECOM is responsible solely for
the safe performance by its field personnel of their activities in performance of the required services. It is
expressly agreed that AECOM's professional services hereunder do not involve any responsibility for the
protection and safety of persons on and about the Project nor is AECOM to review the adequacy of job safety on

necessary to afford AECOM field personnel access to sampling,testing,or observation locations in conformance
with federal,state,and local laws,ordinances, and regulations specifically, including,but not limited to
regulations set forth in OSHA 29 CFR 1926.
c. If,in AECOM's opinion, its field personnel are unable to access required locations and perform the required
services in conformance with federal,state, and local laws, ordinances and regulations due to Project site
conditions or operations of other parties present on the Project site,AECOM may,at its discretion,suspend its
services until such conditions or operations are brought into conformance with applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations. If,within a reasonable time,operations or conditions are not in conformance with applicable laws,
ordinances,and regulations,AECOM may,at its discretion,terminate this Agreement. In the event that the
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section,the Client shall pay AECOM for services and termination
expenses as set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement.

"competent person"conduct inspections of excavations and review any supporting system if workers are to enter
the excavations. See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926(Subpart P). Under the scope of work incorporated in this
Agreement,AECOM does not provide and has not assumed any duties of inspection and/or monitoring of
excavations required of the"competent person"under OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926(Subpart P). AECOM has
neither been assigned nor assumed the authority required of the"competent person"under OSHA 29 CFR Part
1926(Subpart P).

activities at the Project site;or supervising,directing,controlling or otherwise being in charge of the actual work
of the contractor,its subcontractors, or other materialmen or service providers not engaged by AECOM.
Section 8: Hazardous Substances
a. Upon entering into this Agreement,the Client shall notify AECOM of all such hazardous substances which it
knows or which it reasonably suspects are or may be present at or contiguous to the Project site or which may
otherwise affect the services to be provided. Thereafter,such notification to AECOM shall be required as soon
as practicable after the Client discovers either the presence of hazardous substances which were not previously
disclosed, increased concentrations of previously disclosed hazardous substances,or facts or information which
cause the Client to reasonably suspect the presence of any such hazardous substances. Hazardous substances
shall include, but not be limited to,any substance which poses or may pose a present or potential hazard to
human health or the environment whether contained in a product, material, by-product,waste,or sample and
whether it exists in a solid,liquid,semi-solid,or gaseous form.
b. If all or any part of the scope of work is to be performed in the general vicinity of a facility or in an area where
asbestos,dust,fumes,gas, noise,vibrations,or other particulate or nonparticulate matter is in the atmosphere
where it raises a potential health hazard or nuisance to those working in the area of such conditions, Client shall
immediately notify AECOM of such conditions,potential health hazard,or nuisance which it knows,should know,
or reasonably suspects exists and,thereafter,AECOM is authorized by the Client to take all reasonable
measures AECOM deems necessary to protect its employees against such possible health hazards or nuisance.
The reasonable direct cost of such measures shall be borne by the Client.
c. Following any disclosure as set forth in the preceding paragraphs,or if any hazardous substances or conditions
are discovered or reasonably suspected by AECOM after its services are undertaken,AECOM may, at its
discretion,suspend its services until reasonable measures have been taken at the Client's expense to protect
AECOM's employees from such hazardous substances or conditions. Whether or not AECOM suspends its
services in whole or in part,the Client and AECOM agree that the scope of services,terms, and conditions,
schedule,and the estimated fee or budget shall be adjusted in accordance with the disclosed information or
condition,or AECOM may,at its discretion,terminate the Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to this Section,the Client shall pay AECOM for all services rendered prior to termination
and all termination expenses as set forth in Section 15 of these General Conditions of Service.
d. In the event that services under this Agreement may involve or relate to hazardous substances, or constituents,
including hazardous waste(as defined by federal,state,or local statutes, regulations or ordinances),whether or
not involvement or relationship was contemplated at the time this Agreement was made or when services by
AECOM began under this Agreement,the following conditions shall also be incorporated into the Agreement and
be made applicable thereto:
d.1. In the event that samples collected by or received by AECOM on behalf of the Client contain
hazardous substances or constituents, including hazardous waste,AECOM will, after completion of
testing and, at Client's expense, (1)return such samples to Client, or(2)upon written request and
using a manifest signed by the Client as generator,release such samples to a carrier selected by the
Client to be transported to a location selected by the Client for final disposal. The Client agrees to pay
all costs associated with the storage,transport,and disposal of samples. The Client recognizes and
agrees that AECOM is acting as a bailee and at no time assumes title to said samples or substances.
d.2. All laboratory and field equipment contaminated in performing services under this Agreement which
cannot be reasonably decontaminated shall become the property and responsibility of the Client. All
such equipment shall be delivered to the Client or disposed of in a manner similar to that indicated for
hazardous samples above. The Client agrees to pay the fair market value of any such equipment
which cannot reasonably be decontaminated and all other costs associated with the storage,transport,
and disposal of such equipment.
Section 9: Construction Monitoring Services
a. "Construction Monitoring Services"is defined as services,furnished by AECOM to the Client,which are
performed for the purpose of evaluating and/or documenting general conformance of construction operations or
completed work with Project specifications,plans,and/or specific reports of the Project. 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
Conssf.98k(Aug 13, 1998)
CDBG consulting-agreement-and-authorization-to-proceed 4
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.
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 Client's 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,
Conssf.98k(Aug 13, 1998)
CDBG consulting-agreement-and-authorization-to-proceed 5
or take other appropriate action in regard to,Shop Drawings or data properly submitted to AECOM.

of their employment.
c. Under no circumstances shall AECOM be liable for extra work or other consequences due to changed conditions
or for costs related to failure of the construction contractor or materialmen or service providers to install work in
accordance with the plans and specifications.
d. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,it is further agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by
law the Client shall indemnify and hold harmless AECOM and its employees,agents,contractors and
consultants from and against all claims,damages,losses and expenses,direct and indirect,or consequential
damages, including but not limited to attorneys'fees and all Court,arbitration or other dispute resolution costs,
arising out of, resulting from,or related to the presence and/or involvement of hazardous substances,including
hazardous waste,at the Project site or contained in samples collected by or received by AECOM from the
Project site The indemnification set forth in this paragraph 12.e.extends to claims against AECOM which arise

City of Oshkosh
Stormwater Pollution Analysis Update
Scope of Services
A. BACKGROUND
Stormwater pollution from the City of Oshkosh's stormwater conveyance system is regulated under a
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) permit(known as the MS4 permit). The permit
became effective in January 2007 and the permit requires the City calculate the quantity of stormwater
pollution (sediment as Total Suspended Solids [TSS] and Total Phosphorus [TP])from the City's system
under: "base" and "existing" conditions as described below. In December 2008 the City completed a
stormwater pollution modeling analysis under a WDNR funded grant. The City of Oshkosh Citywide
Stormwater Management Plan and Ordinance Development(2008 Plan) reported that the level of TSS
reduction at that time was 17.3% compared to the base level conditions. Since that time, the WDNR has
implemented new policies and procedures for the stormwater pollution analysis requirements under the
MS4 permit. Also, the City has implemented several stormwater pollution control practices. The scope of
work(below)will utilize as much information as possible from the 2008 Plan, incorporate the practices
constructed since 2008, and update the modeling to meet current WDNR requirements.
In the State of Wisconsin Budget Amendment Bill of June 2011, the state legislature removed the
requirement of achieving a 40%TSS reduction from a base level. However, the preparation of the Upper
Fox River TMDL is currently underway(which includes the City of Oshkosh). Based on the recently
completed Lower Fox River TMDL it is anticipated that urban areas in the Upper Fox River Basin will be
subject to TSS and/or TP control levels equal to or higher than those required under NR 151.
B. SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1.0 Meetings
Three face-to-face meetings with City staff and AECOM staff are budgeted during the course of the
project. The first meeting is anticipated following Task 3. The second meeting is expected to occur
during Task 4 to fine tune the proposed stormwater control practices (SCPs) prioritization. The third
meeting is not scheduled and will occur when deemed appropriate by the City and AECOM. If requested
by the City, representatives from the other permitted entities within the Urbanized Area, or other project
stakeholders (such as DNR) may participate in the meetings. Work under this task includes all meeting
preparation, attendance, and meeting summary notes.
The budget for this task also allows for three (3)web-based meetings over the course of the project.
Task 2.0 Re-establish Base Load using Most Recent WDNR Guidance
AECOM will conduct the following subtasks to re-establish the City's base pollutant load:
2.1 Re-assess and Modify Winnebago County MS4 areas
Winnebago County also holds an MS4 permit. During the 2008 analysis,Winnebago County Highway
MS4s were included in the City's base pollutant load calculation (other County MS4 areas such as the
fairgrounds were removed from the base load calculation.) Since 2008 Winnebago County conducted a
pollution loading analysis on its MS4's including their highway system. AECOM also conducted a County
Highway pollutant load analysis for the City of Oshkosh in 2010. AECOM will review the County MS4
highway analysis and the analysis conducted by AECOM for the City, and work with the City to determine
which MS4 areas will become the responsibility of the City and which will stay the responsibility of the
County.
2.2 Review GIS data per WDNR Guidance
AECOM will compare the analyzed area in the 2008 Plan to the guidelines in the current WDNR guidance
and modify where needed. AECOM will rely on City staff review of data to aid in the process.
Examples of areas that will be reviewed include:
• October 2004 Land Use
Oshkosh SW Pollution Analysis Update Scope.docx Page 1 of 6
City of Oshkosh
Stormwater Pollution Analysis Update
Scope of Services
• Undeveloped lands as of October 1, 2004
• Industrial permitted land
• Other permitted land (such as UW-Oshkosh and Winnebago County)
• Agricultural land
• DOT right-of-way areas within the municipal boundary
• Riparian lands with no MS4 discharge
2.3 Revise Land Use Coverage to be Graphical
During the 2008 Plan, the land use was applied to WinSLAMM in a"tabular"format, because, at the time,
it was the most efficient way to conduct an analysis. The land use will be converted to a graphical format
for this update. To use a graphical land use cover, the road right-of-way will be allocated to the adjacent
parcels as a continuous polygon in a GIS format.
The advantages of conducting this task are: 1) more efficient updating future land use changes or
corrections; 2) more efficient map production; and 3)the GIS files will be more easily usable by the City.
2.4 Update Watershed Boundaries
AECOM used the existing watershed delineations for the 2008 Plan. Since the time of the study, several
watershed boundaries have been modified based on more detailed hydrologic/hydraulic studies.
AECOM will incorporate the updated watershed boundaries for this analysis. The update will also include
changes where detention basins have been designed since the 2008 Plan.
2.5 Re-run Base Conditions
The WinSLAMM stormwater pollution model (version 9.4 or newer)will be used to analyze the stormwater
pollution discharged from the City's regulated MS4(Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System). AECOM
will also run WinSLAMM for base conditions on the non-MS4 urban lands within the City's 2012 municipal
boundary and report the results separate from the MS4 regulated lands. This is being done to better
match anticipated TMDL urban analyses.
Base conditions are defined by NR 216 and subsequent policy memos from the WDNR. AECOM will
conduct this analysis in accordance with the Administrative Code and WDNR guidelines. In general, the
"base conditions" represent the urban stormwater pollution that existed under the land use conditions as
of October 1, 2004, with no stormwater control practices in place. The TSS loading under base
conditions establishes the "benchmark" against which TSS reductions are measured.
The results for the study will be reported for both TSS and TP in accordance with the MS4 permit.
Task 3.0 Re-establish Existing Conditions Load
AECOM will conduct the following subtasks to re-analyze the pollution reduction achieved by the City's
existing stormwater control practices. Practices in existence or under design as of June 2012 will be
included in the analysis.
3.1 Conduct Infiltration Testing of Existing Swales
AECOM will conduct field infiltration testing of the existing grass swales. The purpose of the testing will
be to determine the swale infiltration rate that will be used in the WinSLAMM model. In absence of field
measured rates, the rates published in WDNR Technical Standard 1002 must be used. Experience has
shown that the field measured rates are higher than the published values in Technical Standard 1002.
AECOM will follow the guidelines published by the WDNR for evaluating grass swale pollution control
capabilities. For this subtask, AECOM will:

Scope of Services
1) Review the available GIS data, hard copy maps, and soil survey data to select up to ten locations
within the City for testing.
2) Submit the proposed testing sites and procedures to WDNR to obtain approval before proceeding
with the field work.
3) Conduct the field work in compliance with WDNR guidelines at up to ten locations.
4) Summarize and format the data collected during the field work.
5) Provide the results of the testing to WDNR for their review and approval.
3.2 Update Grass Swale Performance
Once AECOM receives WDNR approval of measured infiltration rates from subtask 3.1, AECOM will
incorporate the updated infiltration rates into the WinSLAMM model and re-calculate the pollution control
effectiveness of the existing swales using the field test infiltration results.
3.3 Add Stormwater Lift Stations (2)
The City has two (2) stormwater lift stations. Stormwater lift station sumps can be modeled as catch
basin with sumps, and the associated pollution reduction can be credited towards the City's base pollution
load. AECOM will model the stormwater lift station sumps as part of this study.
3.4 Update Catch Basins with Sumps
The 2008 Plan included catch basins with sumps that were in place at the time of the study. AECOM will
add the catch basins with sumps that have been constructed since the completion of the 2008 Plan.
AECOM will update the modeling for the catch basin with sumps to WinSLAMM version 9.4 or newer. As
part of this task AECOM assumes that data regarding catch basin location will be provided by the City.
3.5 Update Street Sweeping
At the time of the 2008 Plan, street sweeping was conducted on the majority of the streets every other
week, and in the downtown area, once per week, spring through fall. Since the completion of the 2008
study, the City has implemented an enhanced street cleaning program. The enhanced program will be
re-modeled and reported as an existing stormwater control practice.
3.6 Model all Existing Wet Detention Basins included in 2008 Plan (31 basins)
The 2008 Plan accounted for 31 existing wet detention basins which were both publically and privately
owned. For the 2008 plan, a basin was assumed to have an 80%TSS reduction if it met the
requirements of WDNR Wet Detention Pond Technical Standard 1001 for permanent pool size (relative to
the basin's watershed), depth, and outlet structure. Generally Technical Standard 1001 is conservative
and when basins are modeled, they can achieve a TSS reduction higher than 80 percent. In 2008, only
those basins that did not meet the requirements of Technical Standard 1001 were modeled using
WinSLAMM. AECOM will model all 31 wet detention basins using the WinSLAMM version 9.4 or newer
and/or WinDETPOND for purposes of determining their respective TSS control efficiencies.
The following thirty one (31) basins were included in the 2008 Plan and will be modeled under this task:

3.7 Model Stormwater Detention Basins Installed or Designed After 2008 Plan
Since the 2008 Plan, five(5) new detention basins are under contract for design or have been
constructed. The basins were modeled in the version of WinSLAMM that the 2008 Plan used because
WDNR guidelines require that the stormwater control practices are modeled in the same version as was
used for the Citywide plan. The modeling for the five new basins will be updated to WinSLAMM version
9.4 or newer, and will be based on the actual design for each basin.
The detention basins listed below will be analyzed under task 3.7:
1) Oakwood Road Wet Detention Basin
2) North High School Area Wet Detention Basin
3) Westhaven Clubhouse Area Wet Detention Basin
4) 9th&Washburn Area Wet Detention Basin
5) Armory Area Wet Detention Basin
3.8 Model up to ten (10) other Stormwater Control Practices not included in the 2008 Plan
Since the 2008 Plan the city has constructed at least four(4) biofilters identified below.
1) 400 E. Main Parking Lot 3) Marion/Pearl RDA
2) Otter Ave. Parking Lot 4) The Rivers
AECOM will model and include under the"existing conditions" analysis the four listed biofilters and up to
six(6)additional stormwater control practices that were not included in the 2008 Plan and not listed under
Tasks 3.1 —3.7. It is assumed that the City will identify the additional practices and provide the
information necessary to conduct the modeling.
3.9 Summarize Existing Results
AECOM will model annual loadings of stormwater pollutants for Total Suspended Solids (TSS)and Total
Phosphorus (TP) using WinSLAMM for the City's existing stormwater control practices. The results will
be presented in the following formats:
1) Tabular
a. Base TSS and TP load for each watershed
b. Existing TSS and TP annual load for each watershed
2) Graphical
a. GIS maps of base TSS load by watershed, and by load/acre/yr for each watershed
b. GIS maps of existing TSS load by watershed, and by load/acre/yr for each watershed
Task 4.0 Evaluation of Proposed Stormwater Control Practices Identified in the 2008 Plan and
Proposed Stormwater Control Practices

Scope of Services
4.1 Update Proposed Stormwater Control Practice Evaluation
A total of twenty seven (27) sites were evaluated for potential new wet detention basins in the 2008 Plan.
Of the twenty seven sites, eighteen (18)were selected for final evaluation and nine(9)were deemed "not
feasible". Since the 2008 Plan, new information may change the construction feasibility of the 2008
proposed wet detention basins and those identified as"not feasible". AECOM will update the evaluation
of all 27 sites based on the new information. The new considerations will include Council decisions
regarding the site(s)and changes in DNR permit policies that have occurred since 2008.
Engineered swales and biofiltration devices were evaluated on a unit load reduction basis in the 2008
Plan. The evaluation will be updated using WinSLAMM version 9.4 or newer, and the most recent WDNR
policy memos regarding biofilter pollution control effectiveness.
4.2 Update TSS and TP Removal for Proposed Stormwater Control Practices
AECOM will update the Total Suspended Solids and add the Total Phosphorus loads for the 27 proposed
stormwater control practices identified in the 2008 Plan. If the practice was designed or constructed since
the 2008 Plan, it will be so noted. This evaluation only includes the re-modeling of the potential wet
detention basins for TSS and Total Phosphorus pollution control potential.
4.3 Update Stormwater Control Practice Cost Estimates
The 2008 Plan included cost estimates for the proposed stormwater control practices. The cost estimates
will be updated with information from the most recent bid tabs for other stormwater projects within the City
and surrounding area. Specifically, tables ES-2, 5-5, 5-7, and 5-8 from the 2008 Plan will be updated
under this task,
4.4 Revise Alternative Evaluation Matrix
AECOM will update the Alternative Evaluation Matrix created for the 2008 Plan (Tables 5-2A and 5-2B of
the 2008 Plan.) The matrix will be updated with the revised loadings, updated costs, updates in
ownership of land, etc. The proposed stormwater control practices will be re-scored and then re-ranked.
4.5 Update Proposed Redevelopment Areas
There are areas within the City of Oshkosh that have planned redevelopment. Redevelopment will be
subject to the post-construction standards of NR151. The 2008 Plan included the pollution reduction that
will be achieved by these sites when they re-develop. AECOM will update the analysis based on the
most recent WinSLAMM version 9.4 or newer, WDNR Guidance, NR151, and the City's updated re-
development plans.
4.6 Update Implementation Schedule
AECOM will update the implementation schedule created for the 2008 Plan.
Task 5 Update City's Stormwater Management Ordinances
AECOM will update the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance to be consistent with the current
NR151 (as adopted December 2010). Specifically, AECOM will draft a new Chapter in the Municipal
Code to incorporate:
1) Definitions
2) Storm Water Utility(no change in current language)
3) Construction Site Erosion Control (to meet revisions to NR 151)
4) Post-Construction Stormwater Management(to meet revisions to NR 151)
5) Illicit Discharge and Connection to the City Storm Sewer System

Task 6 Prepare Report
AECOM will prepare a report which: 1)documents modeling methodology, 2)compiles annual TSS and
TP pollution loadings into an appropriate tabular format, 3) documents the pollution control (TSS and TP)
achieved by existing management measures, and 4)summarizes the potential new stormwater control
practice removal efficiency and cost.
The report will also contain maps displaying the results of the modeling; and the potential locations of
proposed stormwater control practices. The City will review this report before it is finalized.
AECOM will provide 2 hard copies of the draft report for City review. AECOM will provide 5 hard copies
and a complete copy in an Adobe format of the final report to the City. In addition, AECOM will provide
GIS files prepared under this scope of work as requested by the City.
C. ASSUMPTIONS
1. The City shall furnish AECOM all available maps, orthophotographs, stormwater conveyance
system drawings, stormwater management plans, parcel graphical and tabular data, and other
relevant stormwater management data, all of which may rely upon without independent
verification in performing the Scope of Work. It is also assumed that the above information will be
provided at no cost to the project. Data files will be provided digitally to AECOM if available or
paper copy format(if a digital format is not available).
2. Some information provided by the City may be inaccurate or unreliable. AECOM cannot be
responsible for inaccuracies in the data supplied by the City. Field verification of the data is not
included in the Scope of Work.
