SUBJECT:

Amendment No. 3 to Professional Services Agreement with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for Archaeological Monitoring for the Menominee Park Zoo Bear and Fox Exhibit ($4,000)

BACKGROUND

A professional services agreement with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) for archaeological monitoring for the Menominee Park Zoo Bear and Fox Exhibit was signed on April 17, 2023. During the course of the Project, it was determined that additional days of monitoring were required. Amendments to the agreement covering these increases in monitoring days were signed on August 18, 2023 and December 21, 2023. A final amendment has been submitted, increasing the total number of days of monitoring to thirty-five (35) days.

ANALYSIS

Staff have reviewed the required number of monitoring days, and find that the costs associated with this number of monitoring days are commensurate with the amount of work performed.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost of these services is estimated not to exceed $4,000, which brings the total agreement amount to $26,850. Funding is available for this agreement in CIP Account #03250610-7216-62010 / Parks Improvement-Land Improvement-Menominee Park.

RECOMMENDATION

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. In accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this professional services agreement.

Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this amendment.
