Resolution accepting the bid of Bluffs Paving and Utility Co. Inc. in the amount of $534,519.54 for the S. 6^th Street Reconstruction.  Project #PW18-08

On December 20, 2018 bids were received in the office of the city clerk as follows:

Pottawattamie Arts, Culture & Entertainment (PACE) is a 501(c)3 organization with a mission to strengthen, develop and promote arts, cultural, and historical institutions, organizations, and activities in Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County.  PACE is currently constructing a new arts and cultural center in the Harvester II building, located west of the Harvester I building on South Main Street.  The property for the new center is also bordered by S. 6^th Street.

The City previously reconstructed S. 6^th Street between 9^th and 10^th Avenues in 2012 in coordination with the new Community Health Center. 

Improvements are needed to replace the remaining sanitary sewer which dates back to the 1950’s and to improve the street now that the railroad tracks previously located along 11^th Avenue have been removed.  This project will continue the needed reconstruction of 6^th Street, south of 10^th Avenue in coordination with the Harvester II/PACE project construction. 

This project was included in the FY18 CIP with a revised budget of $750,000 using $450,000 in GO Bond funding and the balance in Sales Tax Funds. 

The project schedule is as follows:    

                                                        Construction Start: Spring\Summer 2019

                                                        Construction End:  November 2019
