Body
PREAMBLE
The City of Madison Engineering Division identified the Pheasant Branch Greenway project area as an area with the potential for storage and conveyance improvements to be made that will have the effect of mitigating flooding. The occurrence of flooding has been observed over the past decade and was confirmed by the Pheasant Branch Watershed Study. The ponds in the greenway system have also accumulated sediment and need to be dredged to improve their efficiency of nutrient removal and stormwater detention.
This contract will include work over multiple years (2023-2026). The City Engineer advertised for consultant services for the completion of a comprehensive greenway enhancement design and restoration plans that will be used for bidding and constructing the project. Pursuant to City Ordinances and Policies, the City Engineer advertised for consultant proposals, reviewed the submitted proposals, and recommends the engineering contract be awarded to Merjent, Inc.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute an agreement with Merjent, Inc. for engineering services for the Pheasant Branch Greenway Enhancement Design project.
