RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
2021/22 SHARED USE PATH SYSTEM EXPANSION (IOWAY CREEK)
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, along with the Iowa Department
of Transportation (IDOT) has heretofore approved preliminary plans and specifications for
construction of the 2021/22 Shared Use Path System Expansion (Ioway Creek) for the City of
Ames as described in Resolution No. 22-475 adopted on the 23rd day of August, 2022; and,
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2022, City Council accepted the report of bids for this
project. Due to the ongoing DOT Good Faith Effort review of the low bidder's Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise (DBE) goal, staff requested that the City Council delay the award of bids to
provide time for a final DOT decision to be made. The DOT has formally considered the low
bidder non-responsive due to not meeting the DBE goal; and,
WHEREAS, the estimate of expenses from the lowest responsive bidder exceeds the
available revenue by over $150,000. In reviewing the bids, staff believes that making some plan
modifications and rebidding the project is the appropriate path forward.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the final plans and specifications for the 2021/22 Shared Use Path System Expansion are
hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 11th day of October, 2022.
