FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager���-/2
DATE: November 8, 2012
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Sediment Sampling Investigation and Sediment
Disposal Characterization for the Sawyer Creek Channel Creek Improvement Project /
AECOM ($59,045.00)
Advance Construction, Inc. was awarded Contract 12-03 — Sawyer Creek Channel Improvements at the
May 22, 2012 Common Council meeting. While dredging in the area between Sawyer Street and the Fox
River, a sheen appeared on the water surface. The appearance of the sheen is an indication of
contaminated sediment. The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from AECOM to
determine the nature and extent of the contamination and to provide recommendations for the approach
for the remainder of the dredging and for disposition of the dredged sediments.
AECOM was chosen due to their experience on previous environmental engineering projects for the City.
Staff has reviewed the proposal and costs. The proposed fee is time and materials $59,045.00. Funding
for these services is available in the Storm Water Utility.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized nature, including
engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager without the use of formal, sealed quotes. In
accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this engineering
services agreement.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this agreement.
