MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 5p,
DATE: June 5, 2014
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Development of a Storm Water Management Plan for
the Fernau Avenue Area Watershed / Brown and Caldwell ($125,700)
BACKGROUND
The Fernau Avenue Watershed is roughly bounded by Snell Road on the north, Vinland Street on the
west, the Canadian National Railroad spur line on the south, and Lake Winnebago on the east. The
Fernau Avenue Watershed discharges to Lake Winnebago via an open channel to the northeast of the
intersection of CTH A and Macarthur Road. The watershed has experienced moderate to severe flooding
in several rain events over the past decade. This flooding has been highlighted by flooding on North Main
Street in front of Hoffmaster, and also in front of Wisconsin Public Service.
ANALYSIS
Department of Public Works staff requested a proposal from Brown and Caldwell to prepare the Storm
Water Management Plan for the Fernau Avenue Watershed. Brown and Caldwell was chosen due to
their staff familiarity with the City of Oshkosh, the Fernau Avenue Watershed, and previous work within
this watershed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the proposal selected is $125,700. Funds for this project are included in the Storm Sewer
section of the 2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). There is $200,000 budgeted in the CIP.
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 proposal and in accordance with Section 12 -16 of the Code, I am hereby
recommending that the Common Council approve this agreement.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
