Agreement APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Motion to approve an Engineering Services Agreement with
WSB and Associates for construction observation, staking and project management for
Connemara Trail East Extension, City Project 2018-09.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved a consulting contract for Connemara Trail – East Extension, City Project
2018-09 at the February 5, 2018 Council Meeting. The scope of work covered under that contract
included final design, utility coordination and bidding services. With the construction start planned for
this spring, the approval of construction observation and staking services agreement is needed.
On March 17, 2020, the City Council awarded the contract for construction to A-1 Excavating. With the
significant work load and minimal development occurring near this portion of Connemara in 2020, the
decision to delay the construction to 2021 was made. As a result, the engineering services agreement was
not brought to City Council in 2020.
For the 2021 construction season, Connemara Trail work is planned to begin this spring, thus requiring
this engineering services agreement. A-1 Excavating anticipates beginning their work shortly after the
frost is out of the ground in order to complete this work earlier in the season.
Staff is also reviewing the possibility of extending Connemara Trail through the existing Emerald Isle plat
to the east property line; however, that work would be part of separate project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve engineering services agreement for construction observation, staking
and project management for the Connemara Trail – East Extension, City Project 2018-09.
