In order to meet the criteria for levee certification, improvements to each of the levee systems will be necessary. The purpose of the Geotechnical MR_4 and Geotechnical MR_5 projects is to resolve seepage deficiencies along the Missouri River levee by constructing a seepage and stability berm. The scope of the project will also incorporate the correction of any noted deficiencies from the latest USACE inspection.
Each year of the FY14 thru FY19 CIP budgets have included a programmed amount in Local Option Sales Tax funds for levee improvements. In addition to LOST funds, the City is able to capture a portion of the State sales tax revenues through the Iowa Flood Mitigation Program. Through this program, the City is eligible to receive $57M over a 20-year period. The accelerated schedule of the levee program requires a funding strategy that will allow large expenditures to occur in the next few years. The financing plan will likely include borrowing money for the short-term and then leveraging the IFMP reimbursements to pay back the loan over a longer period of time. The City’s consultant, PFM, is currently exploring multiple scenarios for borrowing the necessary funds.
The estimated project cost for Geotech MR_4 and MR_5 is approximately $5,500,000 including engineering, ROW acquisition, and construction.
The bid for the project was higher than anticipated with most of the additional cost associated with the price for fill material. The project team will review the constructing schedule and investigate source options for less expensive fill material prior to a re-bid.
