Resolution accepting the bid of Neuvirth Construction, Inc. for the N. 28th Street Storm Sewer Rehab, Phase IV. Project #PW24-11

On October 31, 2023, bids were received through the City bidding software, Ion Wave, as follows:

The N. 28^th Street drainage basin limits are approximately I-29 to Avenue F and N. 10^th Street to N. 33^rd Street.  This area is roughly 580 acres.  The existing storm sewer network in this area was constructed in the 1950’s and is undersized causing frequent street flooding. The existing storm sewer interceptors are located along Avenue L, North 24^th Street, and Avenue K.  In the past, high ground water conditions have caused several of the storm interceptors to fail, resulting in costly emergency repairs. Phase I is complete and consisted of construction of a new 84” storm sewer pipe under I-29. The Phase II project is complete and included the study of the drainage basin to identify and prioritize future projects and connected the 84” storm sewer to the N. 28^th Street storm sewer pump station. Phase III is complete and included the extension of the 84” storm sewer from south of the interstate to N. 28^th Street. 

Phase IV will include the replacement of the storm sewer interceptor in Avenue L from 2700 Avenue L to 28^th Street. The project will require the reconstruction of the roadways and sanitary sewer.  The phased approach of this rehabilitation project is based on prioritizing the roadways with existing storm sewer interceptors, frequent flooding areas, and infrastructure that is in poor condition needing immediate replacement. 

Black Hills Energy, Mid-American Energy, Cox Communications, Council Bluffs Water Works, and Century Link are relocating within the Avenue L right-of-way to accommodate the project.

The project was included in the FY24 CIP with funding from Local Option Sales Tax and Sewer Funds.  

Approval of this resolution.  This project continues the infrastructure improvements for the drainage basin.
