RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Design and Bidding Services
West Fernau Avenue
Gremmer&Associates, Inc. (Gremmer)/($141,135.24)
BACKGROUND
The City is planning on constructing West Fernau Avenue from Jackson Street to Vinland Avenue in
2016. The project will be partially funded by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) and
will be bid and managed by the WDOT. City staff are not familiar with the WDOT design and plan
requirements. In order to efficiently pertorm this design, a consultant with experience in WDOT work
needs to be selected to complete this design.
ANALYSIS
Department of Public Works staff requested proposals from six different engineering firms. After careful
review of the proposals, Gremmer was selected based on several factors. First, their proposal team has
the necessary experience in designing projects for the WDOT. They are also familiar with the City of
Oshkosh standards from working on past projects. The new roadway will require storm water
management. Gremmer has experience designing roadside infiltration studies to meet these
requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the proposal selected is $141,135.24. Funds for this project are included in the Street, Storm
Water, Wastewater, and Water sections of the 2015 Capital Improvement Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipa/ 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,
