RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO STAFF TO BID THE ADA HAYDEN
HERITAGE PARK TRAIL REPLACEMENT PROJECT TO INCLUDE THE CLOSING
OF THE ENTIRE TRAIL DURING CONSTRUCTION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the Ada Hayden Heritage Park Trail Replacement Project includes replacing
the current ten-foot-wide asphalt path with a twelve-foot-wide concrete path. The trail is being
replaced due to sloughing and breaking of the edges, tree roots growing into the asphalt, excessive
cracking, settling of the path, drainage issues in areas, and the width not meeting the needs of
users; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council awarded a contract to WHKS to develop plans and
specifications for the project. WHKS explored two replacement options for this project: 1) Close
the entire trail during construction, and 2) Close the trail in phases during construction; and,
WHEREAS, closing the entire trail during construction has been estimated to be the most
cost-effective option while having the shortest overall project completion time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that directing staff to bid the Ada Hayden Heritage Park Trail Replacement Project to include the
closing of the entire trail during construction is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 15th day of April, 2025.
