RESOLUTION APPROVING ADDENDUM TO GRANT AGREEMENT WITH IOWA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, on November 22, 2016, the City Council accepted the report of bids and delayed
award of contract for the 2016/17 U.S. Highway 69 Improvements Program (South Duff Avenue
Safety and Access Project); and,
WHEREAS, because the City received a high bid, the project was determined to be $162,899
over budget; and,
WHEREAS, the delay of award was to provide the extra time needed to negotiate a funding
agreement for the construction phase of the project with Wahnart and Hunziker to cover these
increased costs; and,
WHEREAS, it appears that more time will be needed to finalize this to receive approval from
Wahnart's corporate office in Arkansas; and,
WHEREAS, as part of delaying action on this project, the City will need to approve an
addendum to the Iowa Department of Transportation Grant Agreement that simply extends the grant
eligibility deadline to the end of calendar year 2017.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the Addendum to the Iowa Department of Transportation Grant Agreement, thereby extending
the grant deadline until the end of calendar year 2017, is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 20th day of December, 2016.
