The City sustained damage to the flood risk reduction system during high water events in 2018 and 2019 and submitted for rehabilitation assistance from the USACE.

The City and USACE executed a “Cooperation Agreement between the United States of America and the City of Council Bluffs, Iowa for Rehabilitation of a Federal Flood Control Works” in November 2020.

The cost of the rehabilitation project will be paid with federal funding through the USACE PL 84-99 program.    The City is responsible for providing lands and suitable borrow material for the work.  The cost to supply 15,000 CY of material will be paid with sales tax funds.

Without this rehabilitation, the integrity of the levee system could be threatened. 

The project is scheduled to begin in July 2021.

Approval of this resolution.  This contract provides the required borrow material in accordance with the USACE agreement, and allows the critical levee repairs to be completed.
