Resolution accepting the work of Hawkins Construction Co. as complete and authorizing release of retainage after 30 days if no claims are filed in connection with the 9th and 10th Street Bridges over Indian Creek. Project # FY15-19.

The Iowa DOT annually makes Federal and State funds available for the purposes of rehabilitating or replacing structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges.  Bridges are ranked to receive funding based on a priority point system.

The 9^th and 10^th Street Bridges over Indian Creek (FHWA Structure #’s 504040 and 504045) ranked high enough among other bridges in the state to qualify for participation in the program.

The Indian Creek box under Creek Top was spanned by bridges at 9^th and 10^th Street.  Both of the bridges and concrete box were in poor condition.  This project replaced the bridges by reconstructing a section of the concrete box, allowing the bridges to be eliminated. 

Highway Bridge Program funds allow for 80% funding for construction of the 9^th and10^th Street Bridge replacement with maximum eligible costs of $2,000,000.00.

This project was in the FY15 & FY16 CIP with a budget of $1,350,000 in sales tax funds for engineering, right-of-way, and the City’s share of construction.

The Contractor completed the project on time and did not receive any non-compliance notices.

Approval of this resolution.
