MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 7_:�f
DATE: April 3, 2014
RE: Professional Services Agreement for Right -of -Way Acquisition Services for the
Reconstruction of North Main Street 1 Moss & Associates, LLC ($80,000)
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal for right -of -way acquisition services for the
reconstruction of North Main Street from New York Avenue to Murdock Avenue. The reconstruction of
North Main Street is partially funded through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WDOT)
Surface Transportation -Urban program. Therefore, these services must be provided by a State - approved
consultant.
ANALYSIS
Engineering staff requested a proposal from Moss & Associates, LLC. They were selected because they
were approved by the State and have worked successfully on behalf of the City on several previous
acquisition projects.
FISCAL, IMPACT
The cost of the proposal selected is $80,000. The proposal includes costs for both the Negotiator /Project
Manager for $54,000 and a subcontracted Appraiser for $26,000. The Appraiser fee assumes 10 parcels
that require appraisals and five hours of court time. There are approximately 90 properties within the
project limits. Funding is available from unallocated funds to be reimbursed by the WDOT for a previously
completed Local Road Improvement Program project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature may be procured without the use of formal, sealed quotes. I have reviewed the
proposal and in accordance with Section 12 -16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending that the
Common Council approve this agreement.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this agreement.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
