ITEM 3.C.

Description

Resolution accepting the work of Western Engineering Co, Inc. as complete and authorizing release of the retainage after 30 days if no claims are filed in connection with the 23rd Avenue Soccer Complex Improvements.

Background/Discussion

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 was funded with General Funds.
