RE: Amendment to Engineering Services Agreement—
City Hall Area Storm Water Detention Basin Design/AECOM ($20,876)
BACKGROUND
In July 2009, an engineering services agreement was signed with AECOM to perform detailed planning-
level analyses of storm water watersheds in conjunction with the 2010 Capital Improvements Program.
For the Division Street area watershed, the analysis recommended a combination of storm sewer
upgrades, new storm sewer systems, the diversion of a small portion of the upper portion of the
watershed into an adjacent watershed, and an underground detention system on the City Hall/Safety
Building property.
Due to their familiarity with the Division Street Watershed, the Department of Public Works signed an
agreement with AECOM for design-related services for the City Hall Area Storm Water Detention Basin.
The services included in this agreement included preparing plans and specifications for the bidding of the
underground detention system, the storm sewer from the detention system to the Fox River, and finalizing
the City Hall and Safety Building Parking Lot design. The services also included environmental review,
sampling and coordination with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for disposal of anticipated
impacted soils and sediment.
ANALYSIS
An amendment to this agreement is needed to compensate for additional services required for this
project. These services include additional benchmark and datum verification, updating City Hall and
Police Department survey elevations, preparation of a certified survey map, survey of geotechnical boring
locations, and additional preparation of electrical system plans/specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of these services is estimated not to exceed $20,876. The current contract total is $250,682;
this amendment will increase it to $271,558. Funding for these services was budgeted in the 2012 Storm
Water Utility section of the Capital Improvements Program. Adequate funds remain to include this
amendment.
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 the amendment and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby
recommending that the Common Council approve this amendment.
