Description

Resolution approving the Iowa Riverfront Trail Repair at Big Lake Park.
Background/Discussion

The Iowa Riverfront Trail is a vital connector from Big Lake Park to and Along the Missouri River.  The trail is used for recreation as an an alternative form of transportation.  

 

The portion of the trail that crosses a drainage channel, north of the Big Lake Park Levee near the tennis court is in significant disrepair.  There are two sink holes in the trail because the culverts are failing.  Minor repair attempts have occurred over the last year and were not effective.  The culverts will need to be replaced. 

 

The Council approved the project for $80,000.00.   The opinion of probable cost for construction is $80,000.00 and contract administration is 5,000.  The overrun will be covered by the Department's operating budget.  

 

 

Recommendation

Approve resolution authorizing the Mayor to initiate the project by issuing bids.
