DATE: January 8, 2015
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Design and Bid Support Services for the Fernau Avenue
Area Watershed/North Main Street Area Detention Basin
Brown and Caldweil ($79,400)
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 provide design and
bid support services for the Fernau Avenue Watershed / North Main Street Area Detention Basin. 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. The design of this detention basin is a key
component of the implementation of storm water management facilities for the Fernau Avenue
Watershed, and Tax Incremental Financing District 27.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of this proposal is $79,400. Funds for this project are included in the Storm Sewer section of the
2015 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professionaf services of a
specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured without the use of formal, sealed
quotes. I have reviewed the proposai and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby
recommending that the Common Council approve this agreement.
Approved,
i��---- � ��-'�G�-.
