COUNCIL ACTION FORM
Item #
Date: November 21, 1989
SUBJECT: Issuance of purchase order for City costs for grading, storm
sewer, drainage, rip rap, and seeding for County Road R-50 widening at
Northridge Parkway.
BACKGROUND:
As per the agreement-entered into between the City of Ames and Develop-
ers of Northridge Parkway Subdivision First Addition, the City and Devel-
oper are to split equally the costs of the above work and the widening of
County Road R-50.
The above work was done by the developer to comply with city plans and
specifications for the road work. The earth for the filled area came from
the detention pond excavation.
The detention pond construction required moving a large quantity of earth
to various areas within the subdivision. There was more material available
than desired and the City had the Developer place the excess along
County Road R-50.
The Developer and the City agreed on splitting the costs to haul, place
and compact this material that the Developer was already excavating.
Before this work could be completed, culverts had to be extended and
ditches graded for drainage. Erosion control measures such as seeding
and rip rap were also necessary.
Since the contractor doing the detention pond construction was doing
similar work for the Developer, the City and Developer agreed to do the
storm sewer extensions, ditching, seeding, and rip rap at the same time
the fill was placed on a time and materials basis.
The developers contractor completed all of the work satisfactorily.
Had the City not been able to take advantage of this situation, the costs
for this work would have easily exceeded $40,000. The actual cost of the
work is $31,339.06 which the City and Developer share equally.
The Developer has already paid the contractor for all of the work complet-
ed and has requested reimbursement of the City's portion of $15,619.53.
At the completion of the contract for widening and painting of R-50 that
project cost will be approximately $49,500 of which the City share is
$24,750. The total project cost for grading, paving, storm sewer, and
drainage is approximately $80,900 of which the City share is $40,450.
