Hempen, Jr., P.E., Director of Public Works/County Engineer tfi Brief description of the problem/issue: The Public Works Department is currently designing the intersection of WCR 74 and WCR 19 and three miles of WCR 40.5 and WCR 5 just south of SH 56. Environmental clearances are required prior to construction. We have reviewed the projects with Darcy Tiglas, subconsultant to FHU who is currently contracted with PW for On-Call Engineering Services. Attached is Work Order No. 3 with the proposed scope of work and cost estimates for the work. The costs for these services have been budgeted for in the 2006 budget and are consistent with work performed on previous projects. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) The options for the Board are to accept the proposal from FHU and proceed with the work or not accept the proposal from FHU, which will have a direct impact on meeting the project construction deadlines. All projects above are scheduled for 2006 construction. Darcy Tiglas has performed most environmental clearances for PW projects in the past at costs equal to those proposed. Recommendation to the Board: Recommend Option 2. I recommend approving Work Order No.3 and proceeding with the work. ,- Initial: Approve Schedule Recommendation Work Session Other Geile / Long v Jerke / FT71(i Masden Vaad _IL pc: Wayne Howard, PW Cameron Parrott,PW M:\—Active Projects\Misc Projects\Engineering On-Call Services\FHU Contract\Work Order 3-Wayne\Work Session Request Form.doc Hello
