Public Works committee recommends extension and increase to Sergeant Engineers on‑call engineering agreement
Summary
Committee recommended placing an amendment to the on‑call engineering agreement with Sergeant Engineers on the Nov. 18 consent calendar to extend the contract period and increase the not‑to‑exceed amount to provide structural engineering support for construction and bridge maintenance.
The Tumwater Public Works Committee on Nov. 6 recommended the City Council place an amendment to the on‑call professional services agreement with Sergeant Engineers on the Nov. 18 consent calendar and authorize the mayor to sign. A representative for Sergeant Engineers described the change as "pretty simple, pretty straightforward": an extension of the existing on‑call contract and an increase to the not‑to‑exceed amount to cover anticipated structural engineering services for ongoing construction and bridge maintenance projects.
Committee materials show the original on‑call agreement had a $40,000 not‑to‑exceed amount; the amendment would add about $100,000 in capacity, raising the not‑to‑exceed amount to approximately $140,000 for the next year. The presenter also described that individual tasks are typically issued via task orders or work orders and many on‑call items proceed without separate council approvals; staff confirmed the city actively manages costs and scopes under the on‑call arrangement.
The committee approved recommending the amendment for placement on the Nov. 18 consent calendar by voice vote.
The transcript did not provide a precise contract expiration date in clear form; staff described the extension as "through 2026" but an exact calendar date was not specified in the committee discussion.
