Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Iowa Department of Transportation Agreement No. 2019-4-146 in connection with the I-29 Interstate Improvements.

This agreement is in reference to Segment 2 of the Iowa DOT’s Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvements.

The agreement includes items related to designated haul routes, traffic detours, and construction of I-29 from just north of the west system interchange to just south of the 9th Avenue interchange; and reconstruction of the Nebraska Avenue interchange.  The project entails grading and paving, storm sewer, lighting, and traffic signals.

The following projects will be let by the Iowa DOT:

• IM-029-3(142)53--13-78 (Bridge)
• IM-029-3(68)53--13-78 (Bridge)
• IM-NHS-029-3(184)53--03-78 (Lighting)
• IM-NHS-029-3(183)53--03-78 (Traffic Signs)
• IM-029-3(232)53--13-78 (Traffic Signals)
• IM-NHS-029-3(141)53--03-78 (Grade/Pave)
• IM-NHS-029-3(266)53--03-78 (Storm Sewer/Intakes)

The City is responsible for 40% of the cost to install a 60” diameter storm sewer included with the improvements.  The estimated storm sewer cost is $810,092.40 resulting in a not to exceed share for the City of $324,036.96.  A request for payment will be sent by the DOT after completion of the work, but not before January 15, 2022.  A project was included in the FY23 CIP to account for this expense.

Approval of this resolution.
