DATE: February 12, 2018 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br /> <br />SUBJECT: WSB Contract <br /> <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />N/A N/A N/A <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br /> <br />The City Council should consider entering into a new Professional Services Agreement (PSA) <br />with WSB to provide engineering and other support services as needed to the City of Arden <br />Hills. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />In 2016, the City entered into an agreement, which was updated in 2017, for engineering and <br />other support services with WSB. Subsequently, The City has hired a Director of Public <br />Works/City Engineer; however, there is still a need to provide engineering project support up to <br />twenty hours a week, and other support services on an as needed basis. The contract stipulates <br />that the Graduate Engineer will work an average of twenty hours per week or as needed per the <br />Public Works Director, but will not exceed eighty hours per month. WSB has agreed to provide <br />the services at a reduced rate, with any hours beyond that at the normal rate. This agreement is <br />supported by both parties, and will supersede the previous PSA. <br /> <br />This position is to provide engineering support to the Public Works Director/City Engineer, as <br />the City has eliminated the full-time City Engineer position. Currently, the City has budgeted <br />$101,081 for City Engineering duties in other professional services; this contract would expect to <br />cost the City $62,400, which does not include time allocated to projects. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Attachment A: WSB Contract <br /> <br />CONSENT ITEM –6D <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
