ATTACHMENTS: Proposal and Professional Services Agreement from WSB and Associates, Inc. APPROVED BY: ddj RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Authorize an Amendment to the Current Professional Services Agreement with WSB and Associates, Inc. Extending Project/Assistant City Engineer Services from June 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 ISSUE Consider authorizing execution of an amendment to the current Professional Services Agreement with WSB and Associates, Inc. (WSB) for extension of the Project/Assistant City Engineer services through December 31, 2016. BACKGROUND The contracted Assistant City Engineer provides support to the Public Works Director/City Engineer with the project management of ongoing public improvement programs (i.e. pavement management), coordination of private and public development projects, management of the City’s Municipal State Aid Street system, response to resident concerns related to traffic safety, utilities and drainage, review of commercial and residential site plans for conformance to city standards, coordination of private utility operators within the public right of way, the preparation of staff reports to the City Council for engineering related projects and the management of design consultants for development projects and as time allows, the design of streets and utilities (water, sewer and storm sewer). In October 2015, the City contracted with WSB to continue this position through July 1, 2016. Staff is reviewing whether or not an internal Assistant City Engineer position may be economically justifiable at this time. Staff will be conducting further analysis of the general fund impacts during the upcoming 2017 budgeting efforts. However, with the status of projects being finalized for 2016 construction and the impending construction season, it is recommended that the contracted Assistant City Engineer be continued for the remainder of 2016. SUMMARY Staff is requesting City Council authorization to execute an amendment to the current Professional Services Agreement with WSB for extension of the Project/Assistant City Engineer services from June 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
