RE: Amendment to Agreement for Engineering Services for Various Wastewater Treatment
Plant and Pumping Station Improvement Projects / Strand Associates (Strand)
($15,000.00)
BACKGROUND
In May of 2011, an engineering services agreement was awarded to Strand for design, bidding, and
construction services for improvements to the Wastewater Treatment Plant and pumping stations. The
pumping station work included new panels and adding a generator to Sawyer Creek and electrical system
work to Northside and 28Th Street.
ANALYSIS
Due to contractor project delays and extra equipment submittal review time, an additional $15,000 in
engineering fees will be required to complete the project. The contractor, J. F. Ahern, has agreed to
deduct these costs from their contract through Project Change Order No. 1 to cover the cost for these
additional services.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current engineering services agreement with Strand is $174,000. This amendment is for $15,000
bringing the total to $189,000. The cost of this amendment is being covered by a deduct in the
construction contract cost for this project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured without the use of formal, sealed
quotes. I have reviewed this amendment and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby
recommending that the Common Council approve this amendment.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
