2024/25 SOUTH 16TH STREET ROADWAY WIDENING DESIGN PROJECT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, South 16th Street, from University Boulevard to the Veterinary Medicine
Trail, is a two-lane rural cross section minor arterial roadway. This portion of the road is an Iowa
State University (ISU) institutional road, since it is abutted by University property on both sides.
East of the trail, the street widens to four lanes and is under the City's jurisdiction; and,
WHEREAS, this project is for widening South 16th Street to four lanes from University
Boulevard to the Veterinary Medicine Trail,updating the roadway into an urban cross section with
curb and gutter, and adding a new traffic signal at South Riverside Drive; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed project will include reconstruction of the existing roadway,
extension of the box culvert at Worrell Creek, and addition of a multi-use trail along the south and
north sides of South 16th Street from University Boulevard to the Veterinary Medicine Trail; and,
WHEREAS, although this section of the roadway is categorized as an institutional road,
previous discussions with ISU administrators indicated that funds were not available for ISU to
complete improvements to the road. City funds, therefore, are being recommended because: the
project completes a major linkage from University Boulevard to South Duff Avenue; the project
provides transportation resiliency during flood events; the project improves the efficiency of
CyRide bus routes; and the project provides enhanced multi-use capacity and safety; and,
WHEREAS, on the 12th day of June, 2023, staff issued a Request for Proposals for design
and development of plans and specifications for the project. Proposals for this work were received
from seven engineering firms; and,
WHEREAS, staff negotiated a contract with Shive Hattery of West Des Moines, Iowa,
after determining that the proposal demonstrated the best project understanding and presented the
best qualified professionals for this project. Staff is confident that a contract with Shive Hattery
will provide the best value for professional services; and,
WHEREAS,ISU has requested that the professional services agreement include the design
of the roadway lighting. This will include all the lighting fixtures and poles per ISU's standards
for roadway lighting. The addition of roadway lighting design is $15,000, which brings the total
agreement to an amount not to exceed $273,250.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
