The Entertainment District located between 23rd Avenue and I-80/29, and from 24th Street to 35th Street is a premier destination location within the City of Council Bluffs and includes the Mid-America Center. The parking lots that surround the Mid-America Center are owned by the City and the paving has degraded to the point where maintenance is difficult and there are safety concerns because of the poor condition.  A study was performed in 2011 and updated in 2015 which recommended the replacement of the parking lots.  The conceptual plan suggested that the work could be performed in phases over a few years.  The work has been programmed in multiple years of the CIP.

 

Four phases have been completed.  Phase 1 included the lot south of the convention center and a portion of the west lot. Phase 2 included the lot just west of the south lot near the convention center. Phase 3 finished the west lot. Phase 4 included a portion of the north lot. Phase 5 includes the northwest lot (see attached map).

 

This project was included in the FY25 CIP with a budget of $700,000 from G.O. Bonds and $300,000 from the General Fund.  

 

The project schedule is as follows: Award March 10, 2025
Construction Summer 2025

Recommendation

Approval of this resolution accepting the bid of Carley Construction LLC for the Mid-America Center Parking Lots Rehab, Phase 5.
