E.,Director of Engineering & Infrastructure�)D ? ' Matthew C. Newell, P. E., City Engineer�µ( �I SUBJECT: Agreement with Phillip W. Cochran for Professional Surveying Services I North Main Street between William Street and Prairie Avenue SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing an agreement with Phillip W. Cochran, Consulting Engineer, (PWC) to provide professional surveying services for North Main Street between William Street and Prairie Avenue. The proposed agreement is for a fee not to exceed $8,600.00. BACKGROUND: On April 5, 2004, the City Council entered into a redevelopment agreement with Lucas Properties, LLC to rehabilitate the former Good's Furniture buildings into a mixed-use facility including residential and commercial uses. As a part of the redevelopment agreement, the City is committed to rehabilitating the streetscape of the 200 Block of North Main Street, not to exceed $100,000. In order to initiate the design work necessary to the improvement process, a detailed survey must be completed. City staff requested a quote for professional surveying services from PWC to facilitate the City's design efforts. Cochran has provided design services in the past for the City, including surveying, and has performed these services well. Professional services are not generally bid out since the work items are not well defined, or not entirely known, and as such the City is essentially retaining a representative that will seek its best interest on the project. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections to this request. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Dane Bragg, Assistant City Manager Phillip W. Cochran, Consulting Engineer L
