Description

Resolution accepting the work of Bluffs Paving and Utility Co. Inc. as complete and authorizing release of retainage after 30 days if no claims are filed in connection with the Gifford Road Reconstruction, Phase III. Project #PW20-24

Background/Discussion

Gifford Road from Veterans Memorial Highway to 45th Avenue was previously reconstructed with RISE grant funding.  The project was identified as FY15-24 in the CIP.

 

A second RISE grant allowed Gifford Road to be further reconstructed an additional 725 feet south of 45th Ave. This project also extended S. 19th Street to Gifford Road. The project was identified as PW17-11 in CIP and was completed in coordination with the Council Bluffs Industrial Foundation. 

 

This project reconstructed Gifford Road from S. 19th Street to the south limit of the paving completed with Project PW17-11. The project also extended sanitary sewer to allow for future service to neighboring undeveloped land.

 

A development agreement between the City and developer was previously approved by the Council.  Iowa DOT contributed $289,448 to the project through a RISE grant for a portion of the north\south section of Gifford Road. This project was added to the CIP with street improvement costs paid by the developer.  These costs are $492,741.43.  The cost of the sanitary sewer was $81,919.38 and was paid using Sales Tax Funds.
