CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum i ~ ~ `
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Consultant Contract Extension
DATE: January 15, 2008
INTRODUCTION:
Staff is requesting a contract extension to January 1, 2009 for consultant contracts
between the City and Engineering consultants working for the City.
BACKGROUND:.
In 2003, staff went through a request for proposal and selection process to determine
three consultants to work on municipal improvement projects for the City. The contract
termination date is January 1, 2007. Last year the Council approved an extension of
contract to January 1, 2008.
In review of the reduced amount of work to be done by consultants in 2008, staff would
recommend another one year extension on the contacts with WSB & Associates, Inc. and
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc. The major projects for 2008 utilizing
consultants are as follows and are already under contract:
• Beckrich Estates Sewer & Water
• 2008 Overlay
• 2008 Street Improvements
• Comprehensive Storm Water
Staff would recommend Council approve a motion extending the contracts of WSB &
Associates, Inc. and Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc. to January 1, 2009.
The amount of work for consultants will be reduced from past years due to the
development slowdown.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the extension of the consultant contract to January 1, 2009 for WSB &
Associates, Inc. and Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc.
2. Do not extend the consultant contract, at this time, and direct staff to solicit
request for proposals.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the extension of the consultant contract to January 1, 2009 for WSB &
Associates, Inc. and Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc.
