City of Oshkosh
Community Development Department o r v r
215 Church Avenue, Oshkosh, WI 54903 ON THE WATER
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: February 21, 2013
SUBJECT: Approve Professional Service Agreements with AECOM for 3 sections of
the Southshore Riverwalk
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh is continuing the construction of the riverwalk on the south shore
of the Fox River. The construction schedule for the next riverwalk segments depend on
a number of factors. Grant availability, property owner willingness to provide access,
and permitting from State and Federal agencies all play a significant role in the timing of
the construction. The next 3 segments of riverwalk are the Boatworks area, the Jeld-
wen area and the Sweetwater area. The 2013 CIP has identified the Boatworks area
as the next construction phase of the riverwalk. The Jeld-wen and Sweetwater
segments could be constructed in 2014 — 2015, depending on grant funding,
ownership, and permitting.
ANALYSIS
The construction of the riverwalk on Steiger Park, from the Wisconsin Ave. Bridge east
to the Boatworks property is largely completed. The project should be complete this
spring once vegetation is planted. After construction this spring is complete, there is
about $912,000 of borrowed funds available for additional riverwalk work on the
Southshore. One thing that I have learned with the Boatworks property is that Army
Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard require more review time for permitting than
expected. I think that the earlier we start the permitting process with the State and
Federal agencies, the better for the City. In addition, there may be economies for the
City when there could only be one time mobilization for surveying, geo-technical testing,
or sediment sampling, etc. instead of two mobilizations.
Sweetwater Area: This riverwalk segment runs from Jackson Street to Main Street,
and includes the Sweetwater Marine area. The City has developed a concept for the
riverwalk that the property owner has reviewed and tentatively approved. Preliminary
design is now needed for State and Federal permitting and writing an easement for the
riverwalk through the private property. AECOM's proposal for the work necessary for
the permitting is $99,000.
Jeld-wen Area: This riverwalk segment runs from the Boatworks property east to
Jackson Street and includes most of the Jeld-Wen property. The City has developed a
concept for this segment of the riverwalk; however, the current owners are looking to
sell the property. If the property is sold, staff would like to have a preliminary design
completed so that discussions and negotiations with a new owner would be substantive
and serve as the basis for a development agreement. In addition, this work is
necessary to meet State and Federal permit review standards. AECOM's proposal for
the work necessary for the permitting is $124,700.
Boatworks Section: This is the riverwalk bridge section that would use the railroad
bridge portals donated by the railroad contractor, Edward Kraemer and Sons, to help
span the water in the old marina. The City has submitted grant applications to WisDNR
for this section of the riverwalk. WisDNR staff has recommended approval of about
$400,000 in grant funds and the Joint Finance Committee should be accepting their
recommendation in March, 2013. Final Design should start this spring and bidding
should take place in the summer, hopefully about the time the City Center section of the
riverwalk will be completed. Construction would take place in the late summer and fall
of 2013. Final restoration may occur in 2014.
AECOM's proposal for design, bidding, construction and environmental observation and
management for this section of the riverwalk is $284,000.
The following is a breakdown in the engineering professional services:
Budgeted funds remaining $912,000
Boatworks design/construction 284,000
Jeld-Wen prelim design/permit 124,700
Sweetwater prelim design/permit 99,000
Remaining funds for riverwalk $404,300
FISCAL IMPACT
The City has borrowed the funds for TIF #20 and the Southshore Redevelopment area
in 2013. Since the riverwalk project cost has come in under budget, the remaining
funds area available to get an early start on the riverwalk design and permitting. These
costs are all eligible costs for reimbursement in the TIF #20 Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council approves:
1. Professional Service Agreement with AECOM for Project Permits for Proposed
Riverwalk Improvements in the Sweetwater Area, South Shore Redevelopment
Area ($99,000.00)
2. Professional Service Agreement with AECOM for Project Permits for Proposed
Riverwalk Improvements in the Jeld-Wen Area, South Shore Redevelopment
Area ($124,700.00)
3. Engineering Services Agreement with AECOM for Design, Bidding, Construction
and Environmental Oversight of the Boat Works Pedestrian Bridge/Riverwalk,
South Shore Redevelopment Area ($284,000.00)
Approved,
City Manager
