SUBJECT:2024/25 SHARED USE PATH MAINTENANCE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This project focused on sealing cracks and joints in asphalt paths which can occur due to expansion and
contraction of the pavement during seasonal temperature extremes. This project also included a seal
coat surface treatment on these paths following joint sealing. Locations (see attached) were determined
using a condition inventory, visual inspection of paths, and input from users. Improvements enhanced
safety, usability, and also improved the aesthetics of the path/trail system.
On July 23, 2024, City Council awarded this project to Mid Iowa Enterprises, LLC of Story City, IA in
the amount of $75,430. With no change orders, the project was completed in the amount of
$75,430. There is $300,000 of Local Option Sales Tax funding allocated for this program in FY
2 0 2 4 /2 5 . With expenses for other path improvements funded through this program and the
additional carryover of unspent funds, the resulting available balance is $114,704 to fund this
project. Remaining funds will be utilized for other shared use path maintenance priorities.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the 2024/25 Shared Use Path Maintenance Program as completed by Mid Iowa
Enterprises, LLC of Story City, IA in the amount of $75,430.
2. Direct staff to make changes to the project.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This project has been completed within the approved budget. The project will aid in extending the
lifespan of these asphalt paths and enhance the user experience by repairing joints that are not level with
the rest of the path. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as noted above.
