SUBJECT:2024/25 SHARED USE PATH MAINTENANCE CONTRACT 2
(STUART SMITH PARK AND STATE AVENUE)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The shared use path in Stuart Smith Park was overlaid with asphalt in 2022. A portion of the shared
use path on the southern end of the park was not overlaid during the 2022 project because of significant
deterioration to the path. This project will remove and replace the deteriorated portion of the existing
eight-foot wide asphalt path and replace it with a new ten-foot wide concrete path.
This project also includes a shared use path maintenance project area along State Avenue, from Arbor
Street to south of the Baker Subdivision. This portion of the shared use path has a significant number
of cracked and displaced concrete panels that collect and pond water during moderate rainfall events.
This project will remove the existing eight-foot wide shared use path, improve drainage in the ditch
along State Avenue, and replace it with a new ten-foot wide concrete path. City staff has received
several requests from the public to replace the shared use path in both locations. A map of the two
locations for this project is attached.
City staff has completed plans and specifications for this project with estimated costs of $153,440.60.
There is $300,000 of Local Option Sales Tax allocated to this program in FY 2024/25 in the Capital
Improvement Plan. City Council awarded the first construction contract under this program on July 23,
2024, in the amount of $75,340, which leaves over $220,000 remaining to fund this project (Contract
2). Following the award of contract for this project, any remaining funding will be utilized for other
shared use path maintenance priorities.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve plans and specifications for the 2024/25 Shared Use Path Maintenance Contract 2 (Stuart
Smith Park and State Avenue) project, setting September 4, 2024 as the bid due date and
September 10, 2024, as the date for report of bids.
2. Direct staff to make changes to the project.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The shared use paths in this project have reached the end of their useful life and are in need of
replacement. These two locations are also a priority for users of the shared use path system. Replacing
these shared use paths will improve the quality of the network within the City of Ames. Therefore, it is
the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described
above.

SUBJECT:2023/24 AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (WILDLIFE FENCE)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2023/24 Airport Improvement Program includes the installation of a barrier fence to limit
animal crossings at James Herman Banning Ames Municipal Airport. This essential safety project aims
to mitigate animal strike risks and restrict unauthorized access to runways and taxiways with minimal
disruption to airport operations.
Division 1: Includes all Federal funding eligible items. The base bid includes two fencing types:
1) Eight-foot chain link with animal skirting, and 2) Eight-foot welded wire mesh style with
animal skirting. Alternate A is for all chain link fencing.
Division 2: Includes a small portion of fence along S. Riverside where a drainage way crosses in
front of Runway Approach 13. To avoid costly culvert extensions, the fence alignment leaves the
Airport property onto City right-of-way, which the FAA will not fund. Alternate B is for PVC
coated fence in the terminal area.
Division 3: Includes motorizing two gate access points with access control. This item is not
eligible for Federal aid under the proposed grant funding but can be paid for with State funds
(from the Iowa DOT).
On July 30, 2024, one bid was received as follows:

DEPT:ELEC
SUBJECT:INSPECTION OF CT1 COMBUSTION TURBINE TO DETERMINE OPTIONS
AND COSTS TO RETURN THE UNIT TO SERVICE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Among the Electric Utility's electric generation assets, the utility operates two combustion turbine units.
These units consist of stationary jet engines that burn fuel oil and each turn their attached generators to
produce electricity. Combustion Turbine 1 (CT-1) was put into service in 1972, while CT-2 was placed
into service in 2005. The units are used to meet electric capacity obligations of the utility, to respond to
periods of peak electric demand, and to provide backup power in outage events where other sources of
electricity may be limited.
On Monday, July 15, CT-1 experienced an unexpected event. Just after startup and being put on-line,
the unit tripped off-line and was not able to be restarted. Power Plant technicians and maintenance staff
worked to determine the cause of the trip. Unable to find an apparent cause, the Power Plant Manager
requested that a field technician from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Wood Group Pratt
& Whitney (WGPW), come onsite and perform diagnostics. A purchase order was issued in an amount
not to exceed $12,415.52 for this work.
The OEM technician was able to perform the onsite inspection on Tuesday, July 23. Performing a
borescope of the internals of the engine, damage was found on the blades in the high-pressure section of
the compressor, particularly the ninth stage of blades. Because of the damage found, the engine
portion of the unit must be removed and send to a turbine repair shop for full disassembly,
inspection, and repair.
To perform this work, City staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to Wood Group Pratt &
Whitney (WGPW) and another turbine company, Sulzer Turbo Services. Staff searched for other
companies familiar with the CT-1 engine and who are capable of such an inspection and repair, but no
other firms with such capabilities were identified. The purpose of the RFP is for a turbine expert to
inspect the post-failure combustion turbine, determine the extent of damage, and identify the
repair options and associated repair costs to return the unit to service. Sulzer Turbo Services
offered the required services at the lowest price and staff has determined Sulzer Turbo Services
to be a viable option to perform the work.
The proposal for this work from Sulzer is itemized as follows:
1. On-site removal of the engine from its base plate and compartment and placement onto a
shipping stand and preparation for shipment; provide motor carrier transport from Ames t o
Sulzer’s facility.
The total estimated cost for engine removal and shipment is $5,500.
2. Receive engine at Sulzer ’s facility, disassemble engine, de-stack and de-blade, and strip
compressor disks, stators, and blades in both the Low Pressure Compressor and the High Pressure
35
Compressor. Disassemble the Combustion chamber and T1, T2, and T3 blade stages and stators
of the turbine section. Perform a thorough visual inspection of entire engine, report findings and
recommendations for repairs and parts to return the engine back to service.
The total price to perform the inspection and provide recommendations with cost estimates is
$45,000.
The total cost for all work as described above is estimated to be $50,500.
Once the inspection and assessment of the engine is complete, Sulzer will provide the City with a report
of the findings which will include the options and costs for returning the combustion turbine to service.
It is important to emphasize that the expenditures highlighted above do not cover the costs for
repair or replacement of the combustion turbine’s engine. Preliminary indications suggest that
these costs could range from $500,000 to $1 million, although it is difficult to estimate these costs
without examining the unit upon disassembly. Once staff receives the report of findings and
options to return the unit to service, staff will return to Council for approval of next steps. The
Council should note that it is possible that the disassembly and inspection process reveals
components unrelated to the damaged sections that may be prudent to proactively repair or
replace. If this occurs, costs for the project may increase.
Unless there is a compelling reason not to, it is likely that Sulzer will be engaged to complete the
repair work or related work to return the unit to service, since: 1) the turbine will be in Sulzer's
possession, 2) Sulzer will be familiar with the unit after having disassembled and inspected it, and
3) Sulzer has an inventory of identical engines that could be utilized if an "engine swap" is more
economical. Therefore, Council may be approached in the next several weeks for approval of a
change order, which may be for a significantly greater amount than the initial $50,500 contract.
Because of this possibility, staff's evaluation of the two potential vendors included an evaluation
of the potential repair costs. Staff is confident that pricing and performance by Sulzer would be in
the utility's best interests. Additionally, Sulzer is the only one of the two vendors that has identical
engines on hand to be utilized if an engine swap is necessary.
The inspection and repairs for returning CT-1 back to service will be an expense that was not budgeted.
Staff plans to pay for these expenses from the excess funds currently in the Ash Pond Capital
Improvement Project that is currently underway. The Ash Pond CIP account currently has a balance of
$1,837,538. The excess funds are a result of favorable bids for that project.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a contract with Sulzer Turbo Services, of La Porte, TX, for up to $50,500 to provide
services to inspect and assess the failure of CT1 combustion turbine engine necessary to identify
the items needing repair or replacement and the associated costs.
2. Award a contract to Wood Group Pratt & Whitney of Bloomfield, CT, for up to $70,000 to provide
services to inspect and assess the failure of CT1 combustion turbine engine necessary to identify
the items needing repair or replacement and the associated costs.
3. Direct staff to search for other service and repair providers of this engine and solicit additional
proposals for inspection and assessment.

CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This work is necessary to evaluate whether the City’s CT1 combustion turbine engine can and should be
repaired versus other options. Sulzer Turbo Services i s one of two companies regarded by Electric staff
to be fully capable to evaluate CT1’s condition following the engine failure and to identify and cost out
the options to return the unit to service in good operating condition.
This generating unit provides needed capacity, provides quick energy production in an
emergency, and provides the City's electric system the ability to "Black Start." Failure to return
the unit to service will require the City to purchase replacement capacity and/or explore the
purchase and installation of a new generating unit.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1,
as stated above.
