MEMORANDUM

FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager Q,�-
DATE: October 8, 2015
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Subsurface Investigation and Geotechnical Analysis for
the Fernau Avenue Watershed / North Main Street Area Wet Detention Basin /
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) ($60,043)
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.
Department of Public Works staff requested a proposal from AECOM to provide subsurface investigation
and geotechnical analysis services for the Fernau Avenue Watershed / North Main Street Area Detention
Basin. AECOM was chosen due to their experience in providing these types of services and their
experience in providing these services to the City in the past.
The cost of these services is $60,043. Funds for this project are included in the Storm Sewer section of
the 2015 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized nature, inciuding
engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager without the use of formal, sealed quotes. In
accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this engineering
services agreement.
