RESOLUTION APPROVING IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
PRECONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT FOR SANITARY SEWER RELOCATION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has scheduled a project
for the 2026 construction season along eastbound US Highway 30, from South Duff
Avenue to South Dayton Avenue in Ames. As part of this project, the eastbound entrance
ramps from South Duff Avenue to US 30 will be reconstructed and realigned further south,
bringing the new alignment closer to the Hunziker Youth Sports Complex access road ;
and,
WHEREAS, a sanitary sewer main, originally constructed in 1963, currently runs
parallel to the existing eastbound ramp and serves approximately 150 acres of
commercial property south of Highway 30. DOT policy prohibits utility structures within
pavement sections on high-speed roadways due to safety concerns, necessitating
relocation of the sewer main at the City’s expense; and,
WHEREAS, The City will be responsible for design, inspection, and final approval
of the sanitary sewer work. The DOT's contractor will perform the sewer relocation and
the City will be billed for these project components upon completion, in accordance with
the Agreement’s reimbursement provisions. Unallocated Sanitary Sewer Funds are
available to cover the estimated cost of this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that Iowa Department of Transportation Preconstruction Agreement for Sanitary
Sewer Relocation is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 12th day of August, 2025.
