Background/Discussion
This agreement is in reference to Segment 4 of the Iowa DOT’s Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvements.
The Iowa DOT will be reconstructing the I-29\I-480 interchange in Council Bluffs. The reconstruction starts just north of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge over I-29 and extends north to approximately 32nd Street. Within this corridor, the City has both sanitary and storm sewers that will need to be relocated.
The sewer relocation projects required for the Iowa DOT’s Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvements are programmed and funded with STP Federal-aid Funds and local Sales Tax Funds.
This agreement changes the STP Federal-aid Funds to a Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) Federal-aid SWAP Fund.
The benefit of changing the funding to STBG Federal-aid SWAP funds are less federal project development, oversight, and administrative requirements.
This project was included in the FY17 CIP.
