AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff recommend the City Council approve project change orders and amend an engineering agreement.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Yes No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The South Central Wellfield Siting Study is being completed to evaluate potential locations for future Tunnel City-
Wonewoc aquifer wells, estimate the capacity of those wells, and assess potential impacts to nearby private wells. To
support the study, the City retained Traut Companies to construct two public water supply wells, two test pumping
wells, and three monitoring wells to facilitate aquifer testing and groundwater drawdown monitoring.
During drilling of one of the proposed public water supply wells (Well 13) at the South Central Water Treatment Facility
site, unfavorable geologic conditions were encountered that are expected to significantly limit the anticipated Tunnel
City-Wonewoc well capacity. Based on these findings, the engineer and hydrogeologist recommend completing Well 13
as a Mt. Simon aquifer well. This recommendation aligns with the City's CIP, which includes a future Mt. Simon aquifer
well at this site in 2027-2028. To maintain the original objectives of the aquifer testing program, an additional test
pumping well and monitoring well are also recommended.
Traut Companies has submitted proposals for labor and materials to continue drilling and develop Well 13 as a Mt.
Simon well and to construct an additional monitoring well, resulting in a contract increase of $374,476.80 and a new
contract amount of $1,617,569.35. Following completion of the monitoring well, the Engineer and project team will
review the drilling and geologic data to determine whether the additional pumping well should be developed as a test
well or a full-size public water supply well. An additional test well is estimated to cost $160,000, while a full-size public
water supply well is estimated to cost $400,000. These costs are not included in the current change order request.
In addition, AE2S has requested an amendment to the Owner-Engineer Agreement in the amount of $45,700 to provide
engineering services associated with this change in scope. The amendment also includes additional services provided
during the preliminary study phase, as well as construction administration and on-site observation services associated
with the South Central Wellfield Phase 1A construction project.
The amendment and change orders were presented to the Public Works Subcommittee on August 19, 2026. City staff
have reviewed the requests and found them reasonable and consistent with the project’s needs. The City Attorney is
currently reviewing the AE2S amendment language, with no expectations for comments. Staff recommend approval of
the amendment to allow AE2S to continue providing construction support services through project final completion.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:
• Change Order Request – Well 13

in dealings with Contractor to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Construction Contract except as otherwise provided in writing.
• Selection of Independent Testing Laboratory: Assist Owner in the selection of an
independent testing laboratory to perform the testing services.
• Pre-Construction Conference: Participate in a pre-construction conference prior to
commencement of Work at the Site.
• Electronic Transmittal Protocols: If the Construction Contract Documents do not
specify protocols for the transmittal of Project-related correspondence, documents,
text, data, drawings, information, and graphics, in electronic media or digital format,
either directly, or through access to a secure Project website, then together with
Owner and Contractor jointly develop such protocols for transmittals between and
among Owner, Contractor, and Engineer during the Construction Phase and Post-
Construction Phase.
• Original Documents: If requested by Owner to do so, maintain and safeguard during
the Construction Phase at least one original printed record version of the Construction
Contract Documents, including Drawings and Specifications signed and sealed by
Engineer and other design professionals in accordance with applicable Laws and
Regulations. Throughout the Construction Phase, make such original printed record
version of the Construction Contract Documents available to Contractor and Owner
for review.
• Schedules: Receive, review, and determine the acceptability of any and all schedules
that Contractor is required to submit to Engineer, including the Progress Schedule,
Schedule of Submittals, and Schedule of Values.
• Baselines and Benchmarks: As appropriate, establish baselines and benchmarks for
locating the Work which in Engineer’s judgment are necessary to enable Contractor
to proceed.
• Visits to Site and Observation of Construction: In connection with observations of
Contractor’s Work while it is in progress:
i. Make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of
construction, as Engineer deems necessary, to observe as an experienced and
qualified design professional the progress of Contractor’s executed Work. Such
visits and observations by Engineer, and the Resident Project Representative, if
any, are not intended to be exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of the Work
or to involve detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities
specifically assigned to Engineer in the Agreement, this Task Order, and the
Construction Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to spot checking,
selective sampling, and similar methods of general observation of the Work
based on Engineer’s exercise of professional judgment, as assisted by the
Resident Project Representative, if any. Based on information obtained during
such visits and observations, Engineer will determine in general if the Work is
proceeding in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents, and
Engineer shall keep Owner informed of the progress of the Work.
Amendment No. 1
Page 3
ii. The purpose of Engineer’s visits to the Site, and representation by the Resident
Project Representative, if any, at the Site, will be to enable Engineer to better
carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by Engineer
during the Construction Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of Engineer’s
efforts as an experienced and qualified design professional, to provide for Owner
a greater degree of confidence that the completed Work will conform in general
to the Construction Contract Documents and that Contractor has implemented
and maintained the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a
functioning whole as indicated in the Construction Contract Documents.
Engineer shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of the
Work, supervise, direct, or have control over the Work, nor shall Engineer have
authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences,
or procedures of construction selected or used by any Constructor, for security
or safety at the Site, for safety precautions and programs incident to any
Constructor’s work in progress, for the coordination of the Constructors’ work
or schedules, nor for any failure of any Constructor to comply with Laws and
Regulations applicable to furnishing and performing of its work. Accordingly,
Engineer neither guarantees the performance of any Constructor nor assumes
responsibility for any Constructor’s failure to furnish or perform the Work, or
any portion of the Work, in accordance with the Construction Contract
Documents.
• Defective Work: Reject Work if, on the basis of Engineer’s observations, Engineer
believes that such Work is defective under the terms and standards set forth in the
Construction Contract Documents. Provide recommendations to Owner regarding
whether Contractor should correct such Work or remove and replace such Work, or
whether Owner should consider accepting such Work as provided in the Construction
Contract Documents.
• Compatibility with Design Concept: If Engineer has express knowledge that a specific
part of the Work that is not defective under the terms and standards set forth in the
Construction Contract Documents is nonetheless not compatible with the design
concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole, then inform Owner of such
incompatibility, and provide recommendations for addressing such Work.
• Clarifications and Interpretations: Accept from Contractor and Owner submittal of
all matters in question concerning the requirements of the Construction Contract
Documents (sometimes referred to as requests for information or interpretation—
RFIs), or relating to the acceptability of the Work under the Construction Contract
Documents. With reasonable promptness, render a written clarification,
interpretation, or decision on the issue submitted, or initiate an amendment or
supplement to the Construction Contract Documents.
• Field Orders: Subject to any limitations in the Construction Contract Documents,
Engineer may prepare and issue Field Orders requiring minor changes in the Work.
• Change Orders and Work Change Directives: Recommend Change Orders and Work
Change Directives to Owner, as appropriate, and prepare Change Orders and Work
Change Directives as required.
Amendment No. 1
Page 4
• Differing Site Conditions: Respond to any notice from Contractor of differing site
conditions, including conditions relating to underground facilities such as utilities,
and hazardous environmental conditions. Promptly conduct reviews, obtain
information, and prepare findings, conclusions, and recommendations for Owner’s
use, subject to the limitations and responsibilities under the Agreement and the
Construction Contract.
• Non-reviewable matters: If a submitted matter in question concerns the Engineer’s
performance of its duties and obligations, or terms and conditions of the Construction
Contract Documents that do not involve (1) the performance or acceptability of the
Work under the Construction Contract Documents, (2) the design (as set forth in the
Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or (3) other engineering or technical matters,
then Engineer will promptly give written notice to Owner and Contractor that
Engineer will not provide a decision or interpretation.
• Shop Drawings, Samples, and Other Submittals: Review and approve or take other
appropriate action with respect to Shop Drawings, Samples, and other required
Contractor submittals, but only for conformance with the information given in the
Construction Contract Documents and compatibility with the design concept of the
completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Construction Contract
Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means,
methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or to safety
precautions and programs incident thereto. Engineer shall meet any Contractor’s
submittal schedule that Engineer has accepted.
• Substitutes and “or-equal”: Evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or
“or-equal” materials and equipment proposed by Contractor.
• Inspections and Tests:
i. Receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals required
by Laws and Regulations or the Construction Contract Documents. Engineer’s
review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results
certified indicate compliance with the Construction Contract Documents and
will not constitute an independent evaluation that the content or procedures of
such inspections, tests, or approvals comply with the requirements of the
Construction Contract Documents. Engineer shall be entitled to rely on the
results of such inspections and tests.
ii. As deemed reasonably necessary, request that Contractor uncover Work that is
to be inspected, tested, or approved.
iii. Pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract, require additional
inspections or testing of the Work, whether or not the Work is fabricated,
installed, or completed.
• Disagreements between Owner and Contractor. Render formal written decisions on
all duly submitted issues relating to the acceptability of Contractor’s work or the
interpretation of the requirements of the Construction Contract Documents pertaining
to the execution, performance, or progress of Contractor’s Work; review each duly
submitted Claim by Owner or Contractor, and in writing either deny such Claim in
Amendment No. 1
Page 5
whole or in part, approve such Claim, or decline to resolve such Claim if Engineer in
its discretion concludes that to do so would be inappropriate. In rendering such
decisions, Engineer shall be fair and not show partiality to Owner or Contractor and
shall not be liable in connection with any decision rendered in good faith in such
capacity.
• Applications for Payment: Based on Engineer’s observations as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and
accompanying supporting documentation:
i. Determine the amounts that Engineer recommends Contractor be paid.
Recommend reductions in payment (set-offs) based on the provisions for set-
offs stated in the Construction Contract. Such recommendations of payment will
be in writing and will constitute Engineer’s representation to Owner, based on
such observations and review, that, to the best of Engineer’s knowledge,
information and belief, Contractor’s Work has progressed to the point indicated,
the Work is generally in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the
Construction Contract Documents, and to any other qualifications stated in the
recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor’s being entitled to
such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer’s
responsibility to observe the Work. In the case of unit price work, Engineer’s
recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and
classifications of the Work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by
the Construction Contract Documents).
ii. By recommending payment, Engineer shall not thereby be deemed to have
represented that observations made by Engineer to check the quality or quantity
of Contractor’s Work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive,
extended to every aspect of Contractor’s Work in progress, or involved detailed
inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to
Engineer in the Agreement or this Task Order. Neither Engineer’s review of
Contractor’s Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer’s
recommendation of any payment including final payment will impose on
Engineer responsibility to supervise, direct, or control the Work, or for the
means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or safety
precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor’s compliance with Laws
and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s furnishing and performing the Work.
It will also not impose responsibility on Engineer to make any examination to
ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the money paid to
Contractor by Owner; to determine that title to any portion of the Work,
including materials or equipment, has passed to Owner free and clear of any
liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there may not be other
matters at issue between Owner and Contractor that might affect the amount that
should be paid.
• Contractor’s Completion Documents: Receive from Contractor, review, and transmit
to Owner maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance required by the Construction Contract
Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, and Shop Drawings,
Amendment No. 1
Page 6
Samples, and other data approved. Receive from Contractor, review, and transmit to
Owner the annotated record documents which are to be assembled by Contractor in
accordance with the Construction Contract Documents to obtain final payment. The
extent of Engineer’s review of record documents shall be to check that Contractor has
submitted all pages.
• Substantial Completion: Promptly after notice from Contractor that Contractor
considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with Owner and
Contractor, visit the Site to review the Work and determine the status of completion.
Follow the procedures in the Construction Contract regarding the preliminary
certificate of Substantial Completion, punch list of items to be completed, Owner’s
objections, notice to Contractor, and issuance of a final certificate of Substantial
Completion. Assist Owner regarding any remaining engineering or technical matters
affecting Owner’s use or occupancy of the Work following Substantial Completion.
• Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work: Conduct a final visit to the specific Project
to determine if the Work is complete and acceptable so that Engineer may
recommend, in writing, final payment to Contractor. Accompanying the
recommendation for final payment, Engineer shall also provide a notice to Owner and
Contractor, “Notice of Acceptability of Work”, that the Work is acceptable to the best
of Engineer’s knowledge, information, and belief, and based on the extent of the
services provided by Engineer under the Agreement and this Task Order.
• Standards for Certain Construction-Phase Decisions: Engineer will render decisions
regarding the requirements of the Construction Contract Documents, and judge the
acceptability of the Work, pursuant to the specific procedures set forth in the
Construction Contract for initial interpretations, Claims, and acceptance of the Work.
In rendering such decisions and judgments, Engineer will not show partiality to
Owner or Contractor, and will not be liable to Owner, Contractor, or others in
connection with any proceedings, interpretations, decisions, or judgments conducted
or rendered in good faith.
2. Duration of Construction Phase: The Construction Phase will commence with the
execution of the first Construction Contract for the specific Project or any part thereof and
will terminate upon written recommendation by Engineer for final payment to
Contractors. If the specific Project involves more than one prime contract as indicated in
Paragraph A1.03.C, then Construction Phase services may be rendered at different times
in respect to the separate contracts. Subject to the provisions of Article 3, Engineer shall
be entitled to an equitable increase in compensation if Construction Phase services
(including Resident Project Representative services, if any) are required after the original
date for completion and readiness for final payment of Contractor as set forth in the final
Construction Contract under the Task Order.
• Construction administration and on-site observation services associated with the construction of
the South-Central Wellfield – Phase 1A construction project.
c. For the modifications of services set forth above, Owner shall pay Engineer the following additional
compensation on an hourly basis, not to exceed $45,700.00 without written authorization from the
Owner.
