City Council Minutes Page 5 <br /> October 15,2012 <br /> "The level of service provided in the project approach and public communication <br /> • proposed by WSB far exceeded the other firms. Their scope includes an expert <br /> review of all pavement sections to confirm the proposed approach to maintain or <br /> rebuild the pavement is the most costs effective method. Their proposal further <br /> described a detailed public involvement process to assure all residents are property <br /> informed through all phases of the project. Their process was clear from the <br /> inception of the project through final construction. The fee proposed by WSB is <br /> about 6.5%of the estimated construction cost for the project. This is lower than <br /> the 9.5%we paid for the 2011 Street Improvement project and well below the 27- <br /> 30%that was historically paid for engineering services on street projects before <br /> soliciting competitive bids. <br /> WSB most recently completed the 171st AUAR project for Elk River in 2011.WSB <br /> delivered that project on time and nearly 10%below their approved not to exceed <br /> fee. Based on our review of their proposal,and past positive working,history with <br /> their firm,staff is recommending award of the work to WSB&Associates,Inc.in <br /> the amount of$168,804.
