MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Co Council
FROM: James Rabe, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 8, 2016
RE: Approve Engineering Services Agreement for Construction - Related Engineering Services for Marion
Road Water Tower Replacement / CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. (CH2M HILL) ($347,000)
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from CH2M HILL to provide construction- related services
associated with the construction of the new Marion Road Water Tower. These services will include, but are not
limited to: coordinating with permitting agencies, construction observation and oversight, review of contractor
submittals, control system integration services, and preparation of as -built construction drawings. CH2M Hill will
coordinate with AECOM (under separate contract with the City) and Dixon Engineering (sub- contracted with
CH2M Hill) in providing these services.
ANALYSIS
CH2M HILL was chosen due to their experience with the Marion Road Water Tower and the City's utility
infrastructure, and their experience in performing these types of services for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed fee is not to exceed $347,000. The construction bid was previously awarded to CB &I, Inc. in the
amount of $3,624,000. This project was budgeted for $4,000,000 in the Property Improvements (Water Utility)
section of the 2015 Capital Improvements Program (CIP). An additional $750,000 is being requested in the Property
Improvements (Water Utility) section of the 2017 CIP. The funding appropriated in the 2017 CIP will not be
expended until after the funding has been approved. Additionally, approximately $190,000 of the overall project
costs will be reimbursed to the City by the cellular telecommunications companies for costs associated with
accommodating their facilities on the City site.
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,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
