COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This project was located on North Riverside Drive (Lincoln Way to North 3rd Street) and East
7th Street (Crawford Avenue to the east end). The scope included new concrete pavement for
North Riverside Drive and a full pavement reconstruction of East 7th Street, which involved
sewer structure work and spot repairs of existing sewer pipe.
On January 23, 2024, the City Council awarded the 2023/24 Asphalt Street Pavement
Improvements Program No. 2 (East 7th Street, North Riverside Drive) project to Con-Struct,
Inc., of Ames, Iowa, in the amount of $706,554.20.
One change order was previously approved in accordance with purchasing policy:
Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $39,400, was approved by the City Manager's
Office. This change order covered additional sanitary pipe and service connections due
to deteriorated conditions after excavations on the east end of East 7th Street. A storm
sewer structure also required additional modification due to existing water main conflicts.
Change Order No. 2 (this Council action) is in the amount of $42,128.41. This change
reflects the final field measurements of the project, as well as sewer structure
modifications resulting from conflicts with the City's raw water line and gas mains in the
intersection of East 7th Street and Crawford Avenue.
