General Conditions of Service—City of Oshkosh
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
Client and shall be subject to the provisions of this agreement. If this information is incomplete or inaccurate,or
if site conditions are encountered which materially vary from those indicated by the Client,or if the Client directs
AECOM to change the original scope of work established by the Proposal,a written amendment to 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
billed. Payment is due upon receipt. For all amounts unpaid after 30 days from the invoice date,as set forth on
AECOM's invoice form,the Client agrees to pay a finance charge of one and one-half percent(1-1/2%)per
month,eighteen percent(18%)annually.The fees described in this agreement may be adjusted annually on the
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.
c. AECOM reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from prescribed or selected exploratory boring or
Conssf.98k(Aug 13,1998)
2010 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 2
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 the Project. It is further understood and agreed,and not in limitation of the foregoing,that AECOM shall not
be in charge of,and shall have no control or responsibility over any aspect of the erection,construction or use
of any scaffolds,hoists,cranes,stays,ladders,supports,or other similar mechanical contrivances or safety
devices as defined and interpreted under any structural work act or other statute,regulation,or ordinance
relating in any way to Project safety.
b. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement,Client shall provide,at its expense,facilities and labor
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.
d. Current regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA)require that a
"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).
Section 5: Samples
a. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or amendments thereto,AECOM reserves the right to
discard samples immediately after testing. Upon request,the samples will be shipped(shipping charges
collected)or stored at the rate indicated in the fee schedule attached.
Section 6: Reports and Ownership of Documents
a. AECOM shall furnish up to six(6)copies of each report to Client. Additional copies shall be fumished at the
rates specified in the fee schedule. With the exception of AECOM reports to Client,all documents,including
original boring logs,field data,field notes,laboratory test data,calculations,and estimates are and remain the
property of AECOM. Client agrees that all reports and other work product furnished to the Client not paid for in
full will be returned upon demand and will not be used for any purpose,including,but not limited to design,
construction,permits,or licensing.
Section 7: Standard of Care
a. AECOM represents that it will perform its services under this Agreement in conformance with the care and skill
ordinarily exercised by reputable members of the professional engineering community practicing under similar
conditions at the same time in the same or similar locality.
b. NO OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,AT COMMON LAW OR CREATED BY
STATUTE,IS EXTENDED,MADE,OR INTENDED BY THE RENDITION OF CONSULTING SERVICES OR BY
FURNISHING ORAL OR WRITTEN REPORTS OF THE FINDINGS MADE.
c. Any exploration,testing,surveys,and analysis associated with the work will be performed by AECOM for the
Client's sole use to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement and AECOM is not responsible for interpretation by
others of the information developed. The Client recognizes that subsurface conditions beneath the Project site
may vary from those encountered in borings,surveys,or explorations and the information and
Conssf.98k(Aug 13,1998)
2010 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 3
recommendations developed by AECOM are based solely on the information available.
d. AECOM is not responsible for supervising,directing,controlling,or otherwise being in charge of the construction
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
Conssf.98k(Aug 13, 1998)
2010 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 4
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.
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
Conssf.98k(Aug 13,1998)
2010 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 5
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
CLIENT'S 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. 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
out of,are related to,or are based upon,the dispersal,discharge,escape,release,spillage or saturation of
smoke,vapors,soot,fumes,acids,alkalis,toxic chemicals,liquids,gases or any other material,irritant,
contaminant or pollution in or into the atmosphere,or on,onto,upon,in or into the surface or subsurface(a)
soil,(b)water or watercourses,(c)objects,or(d)any tangible or intangible matter,whether such event or
circumstances is sudden or not. Nothing in this Paragraph 12.e.is intended to indemnify,or shall be construed
as indemnifying,AECOM with respect to claims,losses,expenses or damages to the extent caused by
AECOM's own negligent acts or omissions.
Section 13: Liability Insurance
a. AECOM shall abide by the document entitled'INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR"PROFESSIONAL
LIABILITY"PROVIDERS FOR CITY OF OSHKOSH'(a copy of which is attached). In the event the City
requires specific inclusions of coverage in addition to that obtained by AECOM,or increased limits of liability in
AECOM's liability policies,the cost of such inclusions or increased limits shall be bome by the City.The City
agrees to provide liability protection for its officers,employees and agents while acting within the scope of their
employment. 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 or in connection with or occurring during the course of this agreement 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.
Section 14: Dispute Resolution
a. All claims,disputes,controversies or matters in question arising out of,or relating to this Agreement or any
breach thereof,including but not limited to disputes arising out of alleged design defects,breaches of contract,
errors,omissions,or acts of professional negligence,(collectively"disputes")shall be submitted to mediation
before and as a condition precedent to any other remedy. Upon written request by either party to this
Agreement for mediation of any dispute,Client and AECOM shall select by mutual agreement a neutral
mediator. Such selection shall be made within ten(10)calendar days of the date of receipt by the other party of
the written request for mediation. In the event of failure to reach such agreement or in any instance when the
selected mediator is unable or unwilling to serve and a replacement mediator cannot be agreed upon by Client
and AECOM within ten(10)calendar days,a mediator shall be chosen as specified in the Construction Industry
Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Oshkosh,Wisconsin
City Hall Underground Detention Facility,Parking Lot,Outlet Storm Sewer Design and
Associated Environmental Services
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The project consists of design and bidding services described herein, provided by AECOM
(ENGINEER) for the City of Oshkosh,Wisconsin(OWNER).
AECOM completed two phases that evaluated the potential for an underground detention facility
within the Oshkosh City Hall parking lot. The first phase evaluated flooding within the Division
Street watershed and evaluated various flood relief measures. The results were a
recommendation of storm sewer improvements within the watershed, and the construction of an
underground detention facility at the City Hall parking lot. A preliminary engineering and site
investigation was then conducted by AECOM to further evaluate the feasibility of the proposed
underground facility. The preliminary engineering and site investigation included survey of the
City Hall parking lot, geotechnical / environmental investigations, comparison of cast-in-place
and pre-cast construction methods,and review of cost estimates previously developed.
The scope of work presented in this document is for: 1) the preparation of construction drawings
and specifications sufficient for contractor bidding purposes, and 2) an updated opinion of
probable construction cost for the City Hall underground detention facility,parking lot,and outlet
storm sewer. The bidding documents will include the following facilities:
1. An underground detention structure beneath the City Hall parking lot. The detention
structure will consist of a cast-in-place concrete structure with a storage volume of
approximately five (5) acre-feet. The structure will have a footprint of approximately one-
half (0.5) acre and a height of approximately ten (10) feet. The detention structure will
include a sump to provide water quality benefits. The sump will be three (3) feet deep and
cover approximately 30%of the bottom.
2. Outlet storm sewer from the City Hall underground detention structure to the Fox River. The
outlet storm sewer will be located between the underground structure to Jackson Street (near
the Algoma Boulevard intersection) and then within the Jackson Street right-of-way (ROW)
from Algoma Boulevard to the Fox River.
3. Parking lot improvements to the City Hall and Public Safety Building parking lots. The
improvements will be based on the layout developed by Gremmer Associates unless revisions
are necessary to allow for maintenance access to the underground structure, or the biofilters
need to be resized to meet stormwater pollution control requirements. The parking lot
improvements will include storm water best management practices (BMPs) to achieve at least
a 40 percent TSS reduction in accordance with City of Oshkosh redevelopment and WDNR
requirements.

B. DESIGN SERVICES
Task 1. Survey
A survey of the City Hall and Public Safety Building parking lots was conducted as part of the
preliminary engineering and site investigation task previously completed by AECOM. This
existing survey data will be incorporated with the addition survey described in this task.
AECOM will conduct a field survey of Jackson Street for design of the underground detention
facility outlet storm sewer. Between Algoma Boulevard and Pearl Avenue it is anticipated the
Jackson Street storm sewer will be located beneath the existing road surface. Between Pearl
Avenue and the Fox River it is anticipated the storm sewer will be located within the current City
ROW,west of Jackson Street (outside of street pavement). The survey will be consolidated with
previous survey data collected to generate a single base survey file. The survey will include the
following:
A. Horizontal and vertical datum will be consistent with previous City Hall parking lot
surveys.
B. Contact Digger's Hotline to have all utilities in project areas outlined below located.
C. Full topographic survey of outlet storm sewer route along Jackson Street,between Algoma
Boulevard and the Fox River. The survey will include additional survey at cross streets up
to 50' in each direction at cross streets,and/or the next utility structure in each direction
will be surveyed.
i. Full Street cross sections at 50' intervals and at high points and low points in street.
a. Back of walk.
b. Front of walk.
c. Top of curb.
d. Flow line of gutter.
e. Centerline.
ii. Partial cross sections at 25' intervals(in addition to full cross sections)
a. Top of curb.
b. Flow line of gutter.
c. Centerline.
iii. Existing features within terrace and 10 feet behind the ROW(trees,mailboxes,utility
pedestals,etc). Between Pearl Avenue and the Fox River the survey will extend 25 feet
behind the ROW.
iv. All utilities identified by Digger's Hotline locates.
a. Include all manholes,catch basins,valves,etc (rim and invert elevations).
v. Concrete pavement joints.
vi. Locate existing property irons
D. Digital photographs of sanitary,storm,and water manholes and catchbasins,and note
general condition of manholes.

AECOM will prepare plans and specifications for the underground storage structure, inlet and
Conssf.98k(Aug 13,1998)
2010 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-Proceed 9
Attachment A
outlet pipes (outlet pipe to the Fox River), and reconstruction of the City Hall and Public Safety
Building parking lots.
i. Plans will be prepared for 30 percent,60 percent,and 90 percent City review.
ii. Specifications will be prepared for 90 percent City review (concurrent to plans).
Specifications will be coordinated with Tracy Taylor(City of Oshkosh).
iii. All review plans and specifications will be provided electronically to the City.
iv. All plan sheets shall be ANSI D(22x34)in size.
v. All Plans shall be scalable with an Engineer's or Architect's scale at full and half size.
vi. AECOM will prepare specifications following the Engineers Joint Contract Documents
Committee(EJCDC)contract and general conditions.
vii. AECOM will provide relevant special provisions and technical specifications as
needed.
viii.When appropriate the City of Oshkosh Standard Specifications will be referenced and
utilized for the project.
One set of the complete plans and specifications will be submitted to the City. A digital copy will
be provided on CD or through AECOM's ftp site. The digital copy of the plans will include full
size (22x34) and half size (11x17) PDF's of the plans as well as the AutoCAD Files. The digital
copy of the contract book documents will include PDF copies, as well as MSWord or Excel
documents.
B. City Hall Underground Storage Facility Structural Design
A cast-in-place concrete underground detention facility is currently proposed for the site.
AECOM will also consider additional construction materials and construction techniques. While
cast-in-place concrete is an industry standard, options such as top down construction, permanent
sheet pile walls, and/or pre-cast roofs may provide a means to expedite the construction schedule
and meet project goals. These three (3) options will be evaluated and summarized in a
memorandum listing pro's and con's of each methodology including planning level cost
estimates. If an alternative construction methodology is recommended the design scope and
budget will be reviewed and adjusted as agreed upon by AECOM and the City. The memo shall
include an estimate of design contract revisions should pre-cast option be selected.
AECOM anticipates that a 3.0 foot deep sump will be incorporated into the design to provide
water quality benefits. AECOM will conduct a review of the potential to provide water quality
treatment within the underground detention structure. The review will include WinSLAMM
modeling to determine the potential for stormwater pollution (in the form of TSS and TP)
reductions and approximate costs associated with water quality control. The results of the
analysis will be summarized in a memorandum.
The design of the underground detention structure will allow for the City to conduct regular
maintenance and structure inspections. Access and structure layout will be coordinated with the
parking lot layout to provide adequate access for maintenance with the consideration of
requirements for confined space entry and available City equipment. AECOM will review
options for providing access and ease of maintenance. These options will be discussed with, and
approved by,the City.
AECOM will prepare structural plans and specifications for an underground storage structure
with a storage capacity of approximately five (5) acre-feet. The design will utilize reinforced
cast-in-place concrete. The structure will consist of a base mat, perimeter walls and top slab

supported by columns. A sump will be incorporated into the design to enhance sediment trapping
efficiencies of the structure. The structure will be designed to resist buoyancy forces in an un-
drained groundwater condition. AECOM will use a design groundwater elevation of 762.0'.
Structure design will follow ACI 350 requirements for water holding structures. The use of
waterstops and waterproofing systems will be used to provide a watertight structure. The
structure design will consider the requirements for earth retention during construction; however,
the design of the earth retention system will be the responsibility of the contractor.
C. City Hall and Public Safety Building Parking Lot Design
Plans will include drawings showing temporary traffic control and management, erosion control,
grading, storm sewer, stormwater management practices, site landscaping, pavement marking,
and relevant details.
The parking lot design will include;
i. Temporary traffic control measures to allow for City Hall access during construction.
Access to the front door of City Hall will be provided along with handicap parking and
access,and limited public and employee parking. Construction phasing,construction
limits,potential traffic routes,and parking lot configurations during construction will
be developed in close coordination by AECOM and City staff. As needed,construction
documents will incorporate these requirements.
ii. Grading plan to provide adequate site drainage,ADA compliance,and compliance with
City Zoning codes.
iii. Storm sewer designed to convey the 10-year storm without surface ponding(except
within the designed biofilters).
iv. Stormwater management practices sized to meet State and City post-construction
stormwater management regulations.
v. Site landscaping meeting City Zoning codes and Site Design Standards as outlined in
the Site Development Planning Handbook.
vi. The City will perform all aspects of parking lot lighting design. Including,but not
limited to: light pole locations,light specifications,electrical requirements,wiring
schematic,and other design for lighting requirements. This information will be
provided to AECOM in an AutoCAD or PDF format as appropriate. In addition,
lighting specifications will be provided by the City to AECOM in an MSWord format.
AECOM will review the lighting documents provided by the City for coordination with
the other aspects of the project and incorporate the lighting plan into the final
construction documents(plans and specifications).
D. City Hall Underground Storage Facility Outlet Pipe Design
Plans will include drawings showing, erosion control, proposed storm sewers, pavement
restoration,and details. This task includes the design of one(1) storm sewer junction structure at
the intersection of Pearl Avenue and Jackson Street.

iv. Provide stations and spot elevations on the centerline and gutter flow line at 50 foot
intervals,high points,low points,breaks in grade,and at radius points at intersections.
Provide spot elevations at mid radius at intersections.
Task 3. Geotechnical and Environmental Investigation
A. Waste Profiling
An environmental records review was conducted by AECOM in October 2010 and resulted in the
report titled: "Environmental Review of Historical Records for the Proposed City Safety Building
and City Hall Parking Lot Stormwater Detention Structure." This document identified potential
sources for contamination along Jackson Street and within the City Hall parking lot.
Composite samples will be collected for waste characterization analysis(to be provided by a sub-
contracted analytical laboratory)from the environmental borings along Jackson Street in the areas
identified in the environmental records review as having the potential for contamination. For the
purposes of preparing a scope of work with associated costs, AECOM assumed eight (8) waste
characterization samples will be collected for analysis. One storm sewer outfall is planned for
reconstruction during this project. AECOM personnel will collect a sample of the sediment
(below mean summer river elevation) in this area for waste characterization of the sediment.
B. Material Management Plans
AECOM will prepare a material management plan for each area where contaminated soil and/or
contaminated groundwater is encountered. The plan will describe the appropriate handling and
management of the contaminated material(soil and/or groundwater)anticipated to be encountered
during the construction activities. AECOM will develop the plan to be included with the bid
documents.
C. Geotechnical Investigation
AECOM will conduct a geotechnical investigation to assist in the design of the outlet storm
sewer. The geotechnical investigation will consist of five (5) soil borings drilled along the
alignment of the proposed storm sewer along Jackson Street. All borings will be advanced to a
nominal depth of 25 feet which will be approximately 10 to 15 feet below the proposed sewer
invert elevations. Soil samples will be collected at 2.5 foot depth intervals for the full depth of
the borings in general accordance with ASTM Standards D1586 and D1587. All soil borings will
be back filled in general accordance with WDNR requirements. The results of the geotechnical
investigation will be summarized in soil boring logs and a technical memorandum.
The borings will be completed using truck mounted drilling equipment. Closure of one lane of
traffic for two of the soil borings will be required. The remaining three borings will be drilled
outside of the roadway but within the limits of the City's property. AECOM and the
subcontractor will locate the proposed boring locations in the field and will have the public
utilities located by Digger's Hotline. AECOM is not responsible for damage to incorrectly or
unmarked utilities.
Task 4. Permit Applications
AECOM will prepare the following permit application materials:

of impacted soil and groundwater. We do not anticipate a permit will be required but recommend
the WDNR be notified.
Task 5. Stormwater Modeling
AECOM will update the XP-SWMM model created as part of the Division Street Watershed
H&H modeling project based on the final design of the underground detention facility. The
model will be used to verify that the project design complies with City of Oshkosh street flooding
goals.
A. The XP-SWMM model will be used to evaluate the outlet storm sewer from Pearl Avenue to
the Fox River. AECOM will evaluate two scenarios:
i. Replacement of existing storm sewers with a single larger diameter pipe,and
ii. Addition of a second parallel storm sewer(in addition to the existing storm sewer).
Proposed storm sewer sizes will be determined and a conceptual cost estimate will be
prepared for each scenario. The results will be discussed with City Staff and a preferred
option will be selected for the design.
B. AECOM will utilize WinSLAMM to calculate the Total Suspended Solids and Total
Phosphorus control provided by the underground detention facility under the designed
conditions.
C. The WinSLAMM model will be used to assist in the sizing and design of on-site stormwater
BMPs to provide pollution control from the new parking lot in compliance with City and
State stormwater management regulations. AECOM will utilize WinSLAMM to calculate
the Total Suspended Solids and Total Phosphorus control provided by the stormwater
management BMPs under the designed conditions.
D. A stormwater management plan will be created meeting the requirements of City of Oshkosh
and DNR regulations and suitable for submittal with the City Site Plan Review application.
