TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to an Agreement with
Baxter and Woodman
PURPOSE
The purpose of the memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to consider
Amendment No. 2 to an Agreement with Baxter and Woodman to
modify the fee for design services associated with the Tyler
Creek Interceptor Sewer - Phase V (TCIS-V) and add design
services associated with Phase VI (TCIS-VI) .
BACKGROUND
At its meetings of March 12, 1997 and August 13 , 1997, the
City Council authorized an agreement and Amendment No. 1,
respectively, for the preparation of plans, specifications,
estimates of cost and bidding engineering services for the
TCIS-V Project .
The TCIS-V and TCIS-VI will increase the development potential
for the northwest portion of the City' s planning area. The
annexation agreement with Industrial Developments Internation-
al (IDI) requires the completion of the TCIS-V by June, 1999 .
It was originally envisioned that the TCIS-V would generally
follow a route north of Tyler Creek and south of the Soo Line
Railroad. However, due to the extensive wetland issues, it
would be prohibitively expensive to construct the sewer along
this route . Staff then directed Baxter & Woodman to explore
alternative routes for the location of the sewer. It has been
determined that the sewer can be constructed north of the Soo
Line Railroad along the south property line of the IDI devel-
opment . Substantial reductions in construction costs will be
realized by placing the sewer along this new route . Work
within the wetlands will be minimized, creek crossings will
not be required and the sewer will be installed at a shallower
depth. The majority of the sewer will also be installed
utilizing open cut construction instead of tunneling the sewer
line, as would have been required in the wetlands . The sewer
route relocation has resulted in a overall reduction in design
effort by Baxter and Woodman which has allowed them to reduce
their fee by $20, 000 from $180, 000 to $160, 000 . This reduction
is reflected in Amendment No. 2 .
i C.O. #2 with Baxter and Woodman
February 13, 1998
Page 2
ew Amendment No. 2 also adds the fee ($98, 000) for design and
bidding services to the agreement with Baxter and Woodman for
the TCIS-VI . Phase VI will extend the Tyler Creek Interceptor
Sewer north along the western edge of the IDI development to
Big Timber Road. A copy of Amendment No. 2 is attached as
Exhibit A.
The original agreement and Amendment No. 1 covered the design
of approximately 4, 500 L. F. of sanitary sewer. At an amended
fee of $160, 000, the cost per foot is $35 . 56 .
Amendment No. 2 will be for the design of approximately 5, 000
L.F. of Sanitary Sewer. At a fee of $98, 000 , the cost per foot
is $19 . 60 .
The procurement ordinance allows an existing contract to be
expanded instead of again seeking competitive proposals . A
finding by two-thirds vote of the City Council is necessary if
the City Council chooses to proceed with this option. The
finding must explain why the exception is in the best interest
of the City.
The proposed amendment with Baxter and Woodman is a superior
option to requesting proposals from other engineering firms
for the following reasons :
1 . The proposal system could take several months to com-
plete, resulting in final plans not being ready for
bidding until mid-1999 .
2 . Baxter and Woodman has already completed some of the
preliminary engineering for Phase VI as part of the plan
preparation for Phase V. Another engineering firm would
have to duplicate this effort which could result in
higher design costs.
3 . Baxter and Woodman provided engineering services for
TCIS-V.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
'44--FINANCIAL IMPACT
Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Baxter and Woodman will
reduce the fee for the Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer - Phase V
from $180, 000 to $160, 000, or a reduction of $20, 000 . Moneys
for this project are budgeted in account number
ep, 397-4200-795 . 92-41, project number 339558 .

r''" Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Baxter and Woodman will
add the design and bidding engineering services for the Tyler
Creek Interceptor Sewer - Phase VI . The fee for Phase VI is
$98, 000 . Engineering for Phase VI ($100, 000) and construction
for Phase V ($2, 050, 000) are included as part of the Sewer
portion of the 1998 bond sale scheduled for March, 1998 .
Moneys were budgeted in the amount of $100, 000 in account
number 398-4200-795 . 92-41, project number 339558 , for design
services for the TCIS-VI .
If the above amendments are approved, the amount of the
agreement with Baxter and Woodman would total $258, 000 .
A copy of Amendment No. 2 is attached as Exhibit A.
LEGAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVES
Reject the amendment and direct staff to request proposals for
engineering services .
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council find that proceeding with
Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Baxter and Woodman is
necessary and in the best interest of the City.
