AGENDA ITEM 6G
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 27, 2011
TOPIC: Resolution No. 11 -67, Authorizing
Execution of Professional Services
Agreement with WSB and Associates.
ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
In December of 2010, as part of the city budgeting process, the City Council directed staff to
prepare a Request for Proposals for the purpose of reviewing the city's general engineering
services. Interviews for the three engineering firm finalists, SEH, TKDA, and WSB were
held on April 18, 2011. The council discussed the proposals at the June 6, 2011 work
session, following receipt of a supplemental questionnaire.
Based on this review the City Council selected WSB and Associates to serve as Municipal
Engineer. The council authorized staff to prepare a professional services agreement with
WSB at the June 13, 2011 council meeting.
Under the terms of the agreement WSB will provide general engineering services, detailed
within the agreement, to the city based on a fixed monthly retainer. WSB will charge the
City $72,400 for July 1, 2011 through July 1, 2012. Certain general engineering services,
such as building foundation surveys, will be billed separately from the retainer at WSB
standard hourly rates.
The contract will incorporate a 24 hour work week. This is a reduction in the hours currently
provided for engineering coverage at city hall. However, staff will work with WSB to
maximize availability during the work week.
TKDA, will continue to perform work under their current authorizations, including the
Main /Lake and Birch/Ware Road signal projects. TKDA will be available to assist
throughout the transition period and as an ongoing resource. Staff would like to commend
TKDA and specifically Mr. Studenski for their valued service over the years.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 11 -67 authorizing execution of a
professional services agreement for Municipal Engineering Services with WSB and
Associates.
