RESOLUTION APPROVING PRECONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT
BRF-030-5(271)--38-85 WITH THE IOWA DOT FOR GRADING, PAVING,AND
BRIDGE REPLACEMENT OVER THE SOUTH SKUNK RIVER ON U.S. 30 FROM
SOUTH DUFF AVENUE TO SOUTH DAYTON AVENUE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) plans to design, let, and
construct grading and new pavement improvements on U.S. 30 from South Duff Avenue to South
Dayton Avenue in Ames. The project also includes a bridge replacement over the South Skunk
River. This bridge widening was an important component of the 2014 Flood Mitigation Study
recommendations; and,
WHEREAS, construction is planned to begin in early 2025 and continue through 2027. It
is planned that through-traffic will be maintained on U.S. 30 during construction; and,
WHEREAS, because the work will require coordination with the City, an agreement has
been prepared to outline responsibilities. In addition, the City would be responsible for relocating
any City-owned utilities necessary to facilitate construction. However,the project does not appear
to impact any City-owned utilities other than electric. Electric Services staff is developing a
relocation plan for the lighting along the South Duff Avenue ramps; and,
WHEREAS, there is a City shared use path in the project area, but review of the plans
shows that the path should not have to be relocated.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that Preconstruction Agreement BRF-030-5(271)--38-85 with the Iowa DOT for grading, paving,
and bridge replacement over the South Skunk River on U.S. 30 from South Duff Avenue to South
Dayton Avenue is hereby approved.
