WHEREAS Council must first secure a preliminary feasibility report in order to assess the
benefited property for all or a portion of the cost of the improvement,pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429;and •
WHEREAS the level of service provided in the project approach and public communication
proposed by WSB &Associates, Inc. (WSB), far exceeded the other firms. Their
scope includes an expert review of all pavement sections to confirm the proposed
approach to maintain or rebuild the pavement is the most cost effective method.
Their proposal further described a detailed public involvement process to assure all
residents are properly informed through all phases of the project. Their process was
clear from the inception of the project through final construction. The fee proposed
by WSB is about 6.5% of the estimated construction cost for the project. This is
lower than the 9.5%we paid for the 2011 Street Improvement project and well
below the 27-30% that was historically paid for engineering services on street
projects before soliciting competitive bids; and
WHEREAS WSB most recently completed the 171st AUAR project for Elk River in 2011.WSB
delivered that project on time and nearly 10%below their approved not-to-exceed
fee. Based on our review of their proposal, and past positive working history with
their firm, staff is recommending award of the work to WSB &Associates, Inc.in
the amount of$168,804. Upon the approval by the City Council, staff will work with
WSB to finalize a contract and being work on the feasibility report immediately.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Elk River, •
Minnesota:
That this matter shall be referred to WSB &Associates, Inc. at the direction of Justin
Femrite, City Engineer,who is requested to provide to the City Council a report advising,in
a preliminary way, as to whether the proposed improvement is necessary, cost-effective, and
feasible;whether it should best be made as proposed or in connection with some other
improvement;the estimated cost of the improvement as recommended;and a description of
the methodology used to calculate individual assessments for affected parcels.
Passed and adopted this 15th day of October 012.
