Acct. No. 540-1040-6401-00000 TIF #23 Southwest Industrial Park – Contractual Services � OlHKOlH ON THE WATER MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the C on Council FROM: James Rabe, Director of Public Works DATE: November 19, 2015 RE: Wisconsin Public Service Agreement for Southwest Industrial Park Expansion (TID #23) ($331, 300) BACKGROUND The Common Council awarded a contract for construction of Grading/Graveling and Utility Construction in the Southwest Industrial Park (TID #23) on October 14, 2014 to Dorner, Inc. of Luxemburg, Wisconsin. Funding from TID #23 and State Trust Fund borrowing totaling $4,006,455 was available at that time for construction of the project. The estimated construction costs, with engineering fees, were $3,881,176. These construction costs and engineering fees were for the construction of the public (City-owned) utilities, storm water management, and street grading and graveling, in addition to the work to grade the site into development-ready parcels. ANALYSIS In addition to the work that Dorner, Inc. completed, it is necessary for Wisconsin Public Service Corporation (WPS) to install backbone infrastructure to provide electrical and natural gas for the future development within the Southwest Industrial Park. Without the backbone infrastructure in place, the City will be unable to effectively market the industrial lots in this portion of the industrial park. WPS charges developers for the cost of installation of this backbone infrastructure. In this case, the developer is the City of Oshkosh. WPS has estimated the cost of installing this backbone infrastructure at $331,300. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) portion of the 2016 Capital Improvement Program. RECOMMENDATIONS Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that services, materials, supplies or equipment available only from a sole source may be procured without the use of formal, sealed quotes. WPS is the sole provider of electrical power and natural gas to properties within the City of Oshkosh. I have reviewed the agreement and in accordance with Section 12-11 of the Code, I am hereby recommending that the Common Council approve this agreement. Approved, �.-�z Mark A.
