Background/Discussion
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 sanitary sewers that will need to be relocated and or rehabilitated to accommodate the new Interstate layout.
This project requires sanitary sewer relocations along 9th Avenue from Dodge Riverside Drive to Service Road B and from 9th Avenue to just north of 2nd Avenue along new right-of-way acquired by the Iowa DOT on the east side of I-29.
The sewer relocation project required for the Iowa DOT’s Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvements are programmed and funded with STP Federal-aid Funds. The STP Federal-aid Funds were recently changed to Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) Federal-aid SWAP Fund with DOT Agreement No. STBG-SWAP-014. The benefit of changing the funding to STBG Federal-aid SWAP funds are less federal project development, oversight, and administrative requirements. Engineering costs associated with the project are funded with Sales Tax Funds. The DOT will be letting the project.
The estimated construction cost of the project is $1,178,000.
This project was included in the FY17 CIP.
