Resolution approving the plans and specifications in connection with the Avenue B Reconstruction, Phase I.  Project # PW25-13

Avenue B from 8th Street to 13th Street is in need of reconstruction.  The existing overlaid roadway is in poor condition, with little remaining curb for drainage.  There is an existing 24” sanitary sewer constructed in the 1950’s that it is in need of replacement. The existing storm sewer will be reconstructed to provide better drainage to the area.

The Union Pacific Railroad and Canadian National Railroad both have at-grade crossings of Avenue B, within the project limits.

The first phase of the project will reconstruct Avenue B from 13th Street to just east of 10th Street.  The project will include a new concrete roadway with new storm and sanitary sewers.  The at-grade railroad crossings will be reconstructed, and the sidewalks will be replaced. The Council Bluffs Water Works will replace the water main as part of the project.

This project was included in the FY25 CIP and includes a budget of $1,400,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds and $600,000 in sewer funds.

Approval of this resolution to approve the plans and specifications for the Avenue B Reconstruction, Phase 1 project.
