MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Managers --
DATE: May 5, 2016
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for 2016 Landfill Environmental Operations and
Maintenance Support / AECOM Technical Services, Inc. ( AECOM) ($45,500)
The Department of Public Works has utilized AECOM (former STS Consultants) for various
environmental engineering needs at the Quarry Park Landfill located on Knapp Street since
1979 and at the Timmerman Landfill since 1993. The new active venting system has been
operating at Quarry Park since spring of 2010. AECOM continues to report no measurement of
methane at the various monitoring points. It is anticipated the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (WDNR) will require several years of active collection of methane gas before
considering a reduced operation or switching to passive collection. AECOM has requested the
WDNR reduce monitoring and reporting requirements for Timmerman.
Previously, separate agreements with AECOM for environmental engineering services for each
landfill were executed and reported to the Common Council. Since similar services are being
provided for both sites, it was determined to combine these services into a single agreement.
This agreement will cover the required monitoring and maintenance at both former landfills until
the end of 2016. The scope of services includes continued methane gas monitoring and
reporting to the WDNR.
This agreement is for $45,500. The cost for these gas monitoring services will be allocated to
the operating budget (Account 212 - 0470 /Garbage Collection & Disposal).
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized nature,
including 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 here by submitting this
report regarding this engineering services agreement.
