Resolution to Authorize and Amendment to a Contract with Ayres Associates for Engineering Services for the Delton Dam

BACKGROUND: During the 2019 inspection of the Delton dam, it was noticed that there was concrete spalling and repairs were necessary.  On June 24, 2021, the County entered a contract with Ayres Associates to engineer the project for a cost of $4,000.  On December 15, 2021, during a routine inspection, it was noted that a concrete training wall near the edge of the dam had shifted.  In discussions with representatives from JF Brennan on-site as well as phone conversations with Ayres Associates, this is not an imminent issue, but does need to be addressed.

Given that Ayres is already contracted for work at the Delton Dam, the LRE Department would like to amend that contract to include this new project as well.  The projects may also be eligible for WDNR Municipal Dam Grant funding.  Sauk County would like to contract with Ayres Associates to create design specifications and engineering plans as well as to assist the County in applying for and administration of a WDNR Municipal Dam Grant if the County is chosen to receive funding.  Ayres Associates will also assist in preparation of request for bids and construction project management.  The additional cost to add these services to the original contract would be $25,000; for a total contract cost of $29,000.
