PUBLIC WORKS/SEWER & WATER COMMITTEE
MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2019
1. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Touchett at 5:15pm.
2. Roll Call: Present: Evan Touchett, Chad Kemp, and Sarah Gaskell. Also present: Theran Jacobson, Public Works
Director; Adam Sayre, Planning Director / Interim City Administrator; Jim Ferolie, Verona Press.
3. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Kemp, to approve the minutes of the May 28, 2019 meeting of the Public
Works/Sewer and Water Committee. Motion carried 3-0.
4. Mr. Jacobson provided an overview of curb side services that are contractual or provided by staff.
Sayre entered at 5:28pm
• Waste Management contracted curb side pick-up regarding Refuse and Recycling. Jacobson
presented the following:
o Contract terminates end of 2021.
o All information is readily available on the website.
o Refuse is weekly and includes bulk item pickup curb side.
o Recycling is bi-weekly and does not include any additional pickup; all items shall be
placed in the cart.
o Of the approximately 3,900 stops only 16 stops have an additional refuse or recycling cart
that is contracted through waste management on a one year contract for $5 a month.
o Staff requested an estimate from Waste Management in late 2018 to modify the
recycling from bi-weekly to weekly and that cost was an additional $25 per stop annual.
This would be a pass through cost to the refuse and recycling budget of just under a
$100,000.
o Staff noted the challenges are cardboard and that is the primary inquiry received. Staff
always directs residents to breakdown and bundle their cardboard.
o Alternative option is to coordinate a cardboard dumpster to be located at public works
facility for use by residence and shall breakdown cardboard. Jacobson noted he had
coordinated this request with Waste Management and is awaiting a price.
o Gaskell noted she would like to see a full recycling drop off location at the new public
works facility that requires a permit fee for use. This would help users that have excess
recycling and not have an adverse cost to other not in need of additional recycling
services. Jacobson noted they would evaluate and include as part of the design and
provide future information as the design progress in 2019 – 2020.
o Committee mutually discussed that no changes to curb side pick provided by Waste
Management should be considered.
Touchett noted the cardboard dumpster would help as this is the largest item(s) that
accumulates the recycling cart. Breaking down the cardboard and bundling great
increases the efficiency of any resident’s cart. Touchett request any additional
information that can be placed on the website would be helpful.
• Jacobson noted that staff has been working with waste management as of last
week to get additional recycling information.
Kemp noted the lack of numbers with residents with second carts does not support any
change for all residents due to the costs.
Gaskell noted she would like to see a full recycling drop off location at the new public
works facility that requires a permit fee for use. This would help users that have excess
recycling and not have an adverse cost to other not in need of additional recycling
services.
• Jacobson noted they would evaluate and include as part of the design and
provide future information as the design progress in 2019 – 2020
Ferolie left at 5:33 pm
• Public works staff curb side pick-up regarding brush, leaf, and yard waste. Jacobson presented the
following:
o Comparison of multiple communities curbs side services for brush, leaf, and yard waste.
o Verona Brush collection is 2nd and 4th week of the month, all brush and tree debris from
residents are collected. No size limitation on diameter and pile size. No commercial
contractors waste is collected. Two full crews and take two days to pass through City on
typical week. Brush can be transferred and disposed of at public works facility during
operating hours.
• Other communities are:
• Monthly with size limitation on diameter and pile
• Varies if have alternative drop off site similar to Verona
o Verona leaf collection is fall only, from early / middle October to end of November or first
snow fall. No pile size limitation. Pickup is weekly. No commercial contractor’s leaf is
collected. Primary public works activity, full forces dedicated to service with street
sweeping occurring immediately after pickup. Leaves can be transferred and disposed of
at public works facility during operating hours.
• Other communities are:
• Leaf collection in fall
• Equipment varied from trailer mounted vacuum or Vacall units
• 5 of the 11 communities surveyed picked up leaves in spring
3 of the 5 were contracted and was a pickup in April and
May only
• Material to be placed in open bags or storage
containers to be emptied
2 remaining communities had multiple Vacall leaf
collection equipment
• One community did not include grass clippings
• Varies if have alternative drop off site similar to Verona
o Verona yard waste collection is fall only, from early / middle October to end of November
or first snow fall with leaf collection. No pile size limitation. Pickup is weekly. Yard
waste, leaf, and brush piles are to be segregated for pickup. Yard waste can be
transferred and disposed of at public works facility during operating hours. Yard waste
bunk at the public works facility is being utilized. For instance, the bin was emptied Friday
June 7 in the afternoon and again after Saturday drop off hours (with compaction of the
bin and site management), and Monday am the bin was emptied again.
• Other communities are:
• 5 of the 11 communities do not pickup yard waste.
• Yard waste is pickup up with leaf collection
• 4 communities pick up with spring leaf collection
2 of the 4 were contracted and was a pickup in April and
May only
• Material to be placed in open bags or storage
containers to be emptied
1 of 4 remaining communities had material to be placed in
open bags or storage containers
1 of 4 remaining communities used a trailer mounted
vacuum
o Jacobson noted any changes to public works staff curb side collection would require
additional equipment and staff. Additional equipment alone would represent capital
costs of $125,000 to over $200,000 depending on the type of equipment and process
necessary to modify collection.
o Residents still place yard waste curb side even when not collected and it is tagged with a
flyer. Any spring collection unfortunately would be non-compliant.
o Jacobson noted that he has stated previously that we would provide an isolated 24 / 7
brush, leaf, and yard waste bin at the new public works facility policed by video
surveillance for compliance.
o Committee mutually discussed that no changes to curb side pick-up provided by public works
staff should be considered.
Touchett noted the service provided is above what other communities provide, the
drop off site is readily available, and that other services would be impacted also from
an operations standpoint.
Kemp noted he lived in a community where leaf and other curb side collection required
bagging the process was inefficient as compared to unlimited pile sizes available for
Verona currently.
Gaskell noted she support the drop-off expansion at the new facility but not additional
curb side services. Ultimately, this contradicts sustainability and impacts operations
from a street sweeping and storm water management perspective.
Committee thanked staff for the detailed comparison between communities.
MOVED Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, to maintain current level of services for curb side pickup. Motion carried
3-0.
5. Mr. Jacobson provided an update on Gateway Pond as staff is waiting on permit requirements from Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources.
6. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Kemp, to adjourn at 6:00pm. Motion carried 3-0.
Note: These minutes were prepared by Theran Jacobson, Director of Public Works. These minutes are based
on the notes of the recorder and are subject to change at a subsequent meeting.

Item (4) Professional Services agreement with AECOM for Construction Related Services for
Project 2016-123 CTH PD, Woods Road to CTH M.
This Consulting Services Agreement with AECOM is for construction staking, contract
administration, product review, request for information, right-of-way staking, and shop drawing
review of their design services during construction:
• Construction Staking
• Product Submittal review
• Request for Information
• Contract Administration
• Progress meetings
• Pay requests review
• Property corner / right-of-way staking at project completion
• Project Closeout
The construction inspection will be completed by City staff.
The cost is not to exceed $79,361.
Item (5) Professional Services agreement with JT Engineering for construction administration
and inspection in regards to work within right-of-way.
This Consulting Services Agreement with JT Engineering is to assist Public Works staff with
administering, enforcement, and inspection of work with City of Verona right-of-way and
easements by utility companies. The cost of these services will be billed back to the company
through the permit issued. Depending on the size of the application, a retainer will be required
at time of application and permit issuance.
Mr. Jacobson has been approached by two other fiber optic companies that are looking to place
transmission facilities in Verona.
As each application is applied for and a permit is issued, a work order will be issued to JT
Engineering by staff.
This contract approach is being used by communities that do not have the staffing capabilities
to administer and / or inspect projects of such scope and size.
The draft work order included in the contract is $15,000 to cover the two applications
mentioned above. These two projects will require a retainer at permit issuance.
City attorney has reviewed the Public Works staff approach with this and it can be completed
under our current codes.
Action shall be contingent on legal review of the contract.
Item (6) Verona waterworks rate case update.
Baker Tilly our City Auditors and City staff (Utility) submitted the water rate case to Wisconsin
Public Service Commission in July of 2018 after recommendation for Public Works Committee
on July 23, 2018. The rate case is nearing the final stages after multiple data requests from PSC
staff, coordination with Auditors and PSC staff, and data request responses by staff and
Auditors. Here are the formal updates:
1. Utility received a response from PSC staff on May 15, 2019 that PSC staff has analyzed the rate

5.1 AECOM shall perform the Services in accordance with the degree of professional skill, quality and
care ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing in the same locality under
comparable circumstances and as expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and the orderly
progress of the Project. The full extent of AECOM's responsibility with respect to the Services shall be to
perform in accordance with the above standards and to remedy any material deficiencies or defects in the
Deliverables at AECOM’s own expense, provided that AECOM is notified by Client, in writing, of any such
deficiency or defect within a reasonable period after discovery thereof, but in no event later than 90 days
after AECOM's completion or termination of the Services. AECOM MAKES NO OTHER
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, INFORMATIONAL
CONTENT OR OTHERWISE.
5.2 AECOM will endeavor in good faith, as needed, to obtain from the appropriate authorities their
interpretation of applicable codes and standards and will apply its professional judgment in interpreting the
codes and standards as they apply to the Project at the time of performance of the Services.
Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree that, as the Project progresses, such codes or standards may
change or the applicability of such codes or standards may vary from AECOM’s original interpretation
through no fault of AECOM and that additional costs necessary to conform to such changes or
interpretations during or after execution of the Services will be subject to an equitable adjustment in the
Compensation and Project Schedule.
5.3 AECOM shall be responsible for its performance and that of AECOM’s lower-tier subcontractors and
vendors. However, AECOM shall not be responsible for health or safety programs or precautions related to

contract. AECOM shall not be responsible for inspecting, observing, reporting or correcting health or safety
conditions or deficiencies of Client, Contractors or others at the project site (“Project Site”) other than
AECOM’s employees, subconsultants and vendors. So as not to discourage AECOM from voluntarily
addressing health or safety issues while at the Project Site, in the event AECOM does identify such issues
by making observations, reports, suggestions or otherwise, AECOM shall have no authority to direct the
actions of others not under AECOM’s responsibility and control and shall have no liability, responsibility, or
affirmative duty arising on account of AECOM’s actions or forbearance.

discovery, presence, handling, removal, transportation, storage or disposal of, or exposure of persons to
hazardous materials in any form related to the Project. AECOM shall not be responsible for Client's pre-
existing site conditions or the aggravation of those preexisting site conditions to the extent not caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of AECOM.
5.5 In the event that the Services include construction observation or similar field services, AECOM’s
responsibility shall be limited to determining general conformance with AECOM’s design. Visits by AECOM
to the Project Site and observations made by AECOM shall not relieve the Contractors of ther obligation to
conduct comprehensive inspections of the construction work sufficient to ensure conformance with the intent
of the construction contract documents, and shall not relieve the Contractors of their responsibility for means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of
the construction work and for all safety precautions incidental thereto.
5.6 Any opinions of probable construction costs provided by AECOM represent AECOM's good faith
professional judgment in light of its experience, knowledge and the information reasonably available to
AECOM at the time of preparation of the opinion. However, since AECOM has no control over the market,
economic conditions or the bidding procedures, AECOM, its directors, officers and employees and
subconsultants do not make any guarantees or warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with
respect to such opinions and accept no responsibility for any loss or damage arising therefrom or in any way

ownership and control thereof, AECOM hereby grants to Client, upon full payment for the Deliverables and
Services, a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, royalty-free license to use and sublicense said AECOM
Intellectual Property solely and to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes stated in EXHIBIT A.
9.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit AECOM or its consultants from using for
other purposes, clients or projects the skills, knowledge and experience gained by AECOM or its consultants

this Agreement are intended by AECOM for the sole use by Client for the specific purpose stated in EXHIBIT
A. Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AECOM and
its consultants and their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, affiliated and parent

reliance upon, or transmission to a third party of, said Services, Deliverables, AECOM Intellectual Property,
by Client outside the scope of this Agreement without the express, written permission by AECOM.
10. RECORD DRAWINGS Client shall direct the Contractors to provide AECOM with updated red-line
documentation which accurately and completely reflects any changes between the original design and the
final construction. Record drawings to be delivered by AECOM to Client as a part of the Services (“Record
Drawings”) reflect the design provided by AECOM as modified by such updated information. Consistently
with AECOM’s defined Services, AECOM shall not have an obligation to independently validate such
information related to the actual construction. AECOM makes no warranty or guarantee with regard to the
accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the Contractors and third parties and shall bear no

information.
11. ELECTRONIC FILES
11.1 Electronic files to be delivered under this Agreement, if any, contain information to be used for the
production of contract documents for the Project and are provided solely as an accommodation to Client. The
official Contract Documents of Record (“Contract Documents”) are those documents produced by AECOM
which bear seals and/or signatures. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the Services, no electronic files
delivered under this Agreement are Contract Documents.
11.2 The electronic files, if any, were created to supplement the official Contract Documents. Due to the
possibility that files of this nature can be modified, either unintentionally or otherwise; or that the information

this Agreement, is specifically limited to the Project and the purpose defined by AECOM and is conditioned
upon proper payment for such use.
11.5 If a third-party license is required to access or use electronic files, Client acknowledges its
responsibility at its own expense to obtain all applicable hardware and software needed to legally access the
electronic files. AECOM shall have no liability for third parties’ use of or reliance on such files.
12. CERTIFICATION
12.1 For purposes of this Agreement, “certification” means to state or declare a professional opinion
based on the standard of performance set forth in Section 5.1 above.
12.2 AECOM shall not be required to execute certificates that would (i) result in AECOM having to certify,
guarantee or warrant the existence of conditions whose existence AECOM cannot reasonably ascertain
under the existing Services; (ii) require knowledge, services or responsibilities beyond the Services; or (iii)
may, in AECOM’s reasonable judgment, require AECOM to make a certification that would not normally be
covered by AECOM’s professional or other liability insurance. In addition, Client agrees not to make
resolution of any dispute with AECOM or payment of any amount due to AECOM in any way contingent upon
AECOM executing such certificates.
12.3 A professional's certification in no way relieves other parties from meeting their respective
requirements imposed by contract or other means, including commonly accepted industry standards and
practices. If required as a part of its Services, AECOM will provide a written report stating whether, in
AECOM’s professional opinion and based on periodic site visits, the construction work complies generally
with the Contract Documents.
13. CHANGED SITE CONDITIONS The discovery of hazardous materials, hazardous wastes,
pollutants, contaminants or concealed obstructions or utilities that could not reasonably have been
anticipated from information provided to and reasonably apparent to AECOM constitutes a changed site
condition. To the extent that such changed site condition increases the health and safety risks associated
with the Services or requires AECOM to perform services different or in excess compared to those set forth
in the Services, AECOM may, at its sole discretion, elect to suspend and/or terminate the related Services
and shall be paid for the related Services up through the date of such termination. To the extent that the
changed site conditions impact the cost, level of effort or schedule of the Services, equitable adjustments
shall be made to the Services, schedule and fee under this Agreement.
14. MATERIALS AND SAMPLES Any items, substances, materials or samples removed from the
Project Site for testing, analysis, or other evaluation will be returned to the Project Site unless otherwise
agreed to by the Parties in writing. Client recognizes and agrees that AECOM is acting as a bailee and at no
time assumes title to said items, substances, materials or samples.
15. COMPLIANCE The Parties shall comply with applicable treaties, compacts, statutes, ordinances,
codes, regulations, consent decrees, orders, judgments, rules, and other requirements of governmental or
