MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
DATE: July 20, 2017
RE: Amendment to Agreement for Archaeological Investigations for 2017 Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) / University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee (UWM)
($40,000)
An agreement was executed on December 29, 2016 with the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee
for archaeological investigations related to the 2017 CIP. During the course of the investigations,
one of the City's projects, Contract 17-04, was identified as adjacent to a known archaeological
site. While construction on City Contract 17-04 was proceeding, the University provided onsite
monitoring services.
During the construction monitoring, several items were uncovered. These items included pieces
of pottery and cookware in addition to some human remains. The amendment includes the
additional services that are required for the additional monitoring, analysis, excavation, and
management of the remains.
Staff has reviewed the amendment and the costs. The amount of this amendment is not to exceed
$40,000. This will raise the total agreement amount to $60,000. These costs will be split among
the Street Paving, Storm Water, Water, and Sanitary Sewer CIP sections. Funding is budgeted in
all four sections of the 2017 CIP.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature may be procured without the use of formal, sealed quotes. In accordance with
Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this engineering services
amendment.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this engineering services amendment.
