MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 5, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Environmental Investigation and Assessment of the
Marion Road Water Tower Site / AECOM Technical Services, Inc. ( AECOM) ($46,825)
The Department of Public Works Utility Division requested a proposal from AECOM for an environmental
investigation and assessment of the Marion Road Water Tower and site. The tower was originally
constructed in 1938. Building materials containing lead (paint), asbestos (insulation), and mercury
(switches) were commonly used in construction at that time. Limited testing onsite has been performed
and indicates these materials are present and need to be further investigated. This proposal includes a
detailed investigation and recommendations for remediation in compliance with environmental
regulations.
AECOM was selected due to their knowledgeable staff having the expertise necessary to provide the
sampling, testing, and management services this type project requires in order to comply with regulatory
requirements. Funding for this work is included in the Property Improvements section of the 2015 Capital
Improvements Program.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh 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 12 -16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report
regarding this engineering services agreement.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this engineering services agreement.
