MEMORANDUM

FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public WorksSMS
DATE: January 22, 2015
RE: Amendment to Engineering Services Agreement for Construction-Related Services for
Construction of Armory Area Detention Basin / AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM)
($40,500)
BACKGROUND
A professional services agreement for construction-related services associated with the construction of
the Armory Area Detention Basin with AECOM was approved by the Common Council on February 25,
2014. During the course of the construction of the Armory Area Detention Basin project, it became
apparent that additional engineering-related services were necessary in order to successfully complete
the construction project.
ANALYSIS
Additional engineering-related services were required to address challenges that arose during
construction. These services include: updating the handicap accessible ramps at the intersection of
Crystal Springs Avenue and Reichow Street; street drainage improvements at Menard Drive and Koeller
Street; relaying the water service lateral for McDonald's Restaurant; providing additional staff to meet
contractor's construction schedule; relocation of water service main for the National Guard Maintenance
Building; resolving additional concerns relating to invasive species' impact on topsoil; review of project
progress plans in relation to multiple weather-related delays; additional field and laboratory testing; and
additional field and office construction documentation for project close out.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has reviewed the amendment and costs. The amount of this contract amendment is $40,500. This
will raise the total contract amount to $376,913 (not to exceed). These services will be funded through
the Storm Water Utility. Funding is available within the 2014 Capital Improvement Program for these
services.
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,
