On February 28, 2019, bids were received in the office of the city clerk as follows:
Western Engineering Co, Inc., Harlan, IA $180,723.00

In 1996 the City assumed ownership of the former Alter Landfill.  In 1999, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) issued closure permit 78-SDP-19-98C for renovation of the facility into a recreational development.

 

The landfill site was transformed into an athletic complex containing ball fields, as well as walkways and an asphalt parking lot for 150 vehicles.

 

As conditions of the closure permit, annual groundwater sampling, cover monitoring and maintenance are required.

 

The 2017 IDNR inspection revealed deficiencies with the landfill cover requirements.

 

This project repairs the noted deficiencies to comply with IDNR regulations and allows the property to remain as a soccer complex into the future.

 

The project is funded with General Funds.

 

The project schedule is as follows: Award March 11, 2019
Construction Start April 2019 (weather dependent)
Substantial Completion May 31, 2019
Recommendation

Approval of this resolution.
