MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works SM
DATE: May 18, 2017
RE: Amendment to Engineering Services Agreement for Design and Preparation of Construction Documents for
the Urban Reconstruction of North Main Street (from New York Avenue to Murdock Avenue) / McMahon
Group (McMahon) ($79,511)
BACKGROUND
A professional services agreement for engineering services for the design and preparation of construction documents for the
urban reconstruction of North Main Street from New York Avenue to Murdock Avenue with McMahon was approved by the
Common Council on March 26, 2013. During the course of this project, additional engineering -related services were requested
by City staff.
ANALYSIS
The additional services requested included design changes due to implementation of the Federal Highway Administration's
new sidewalk policy, historical studies and Section 106 review, preparation of Section 4(f) evaluations, and design changes
resulting from changes to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's design procedures. Staff also requested plan changes
to allow the City to direct purchase the traffic signals and related equipment for the New York Avenue, Harrison Street, and
North Main Street intersection. This allowed the intersection to be opened to traffic in July, instead of October.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has reviewed the amendment and the costs. The amount of this amendment is $79,511. This will raise the total agreement
amount to $301,011 (not to exceed). Funds for this project were included in the Street, Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, and
Water Main sections of the 2013 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). $217,000 was budgeted in the CIP. Adequate funds
exist within other 2017 CIP projects to cover the difference.
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 amendment and, in
accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending the Common Council approve this amendment.
Approved,
Mar A. Rohloff
City Manager
