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 from
January 1, 2017, for up to six (6) months.
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. In May 2016, The City extended the
services contract through December 2016 to assist in continuity of project management and staff.
This extension proposes to maintain all terms of the agreement (including fees) and will extend the term
date for up to six months. The extension will provide for staff continuity and allow adequate time for the
incoming City Administrator to determine and finalize City staffing needs and utilization of the
Engineering Consulting pool.
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 January
1, 2017 for up to six (6) months.
