| | | | | | | | Description
Resolution accepting the work of Bluffs Paving and Utility Co. Inc. as complete and authorizing the release of retainage after 30 days if no claims are filed in connection with the Steven Road East Construction. Project # PW18-16A |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
The completed projects associated with Eastern Hills Drive have improved the transportation network in eastern Council Bluffs by constructing a new roadway between US Highway 6 and Iowa Highway 92, while providing improved connections to developments along Greenview Road, Steven Road, and Cottonwood Road. The continuity for the local transportation system supports future land development, increases the capacity of existing roads to accommodate traffic demands and improves emergency access.
The Steven Road East project constructed Cedar Lane from 900 ft. west of Eastern Hills Drive to 2,200 feet west on existing alignment and then 2,300 feet southwest on new alignment to State Orchard Road. A 10 foot wide paved trail was included on the south side of Cedar Lane\Steven Road.
The project received Federal funding from a $3.5M appropriation and $10.2M in earmarks. A previously approved funding agreement (Transportation Federal Aid Agreement No. 04-18-HDP-5) authorized Iowa DOT to administer the project. Federal funds support 80% of the improvement costs with the remaining 20% shared by the City of Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County. The City’s match will be paid using sales tax funds.
