COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Concrete Street Pavement Improvements Program is the annual program for the removal
and replacement of deteriorated pavements from concrete streets and replacement with a new
pavement surface. This project involves the reconstruction of Clark Ave from 9th St to
13th St. The project is planned for construction over a single year to be completed in
two stages. The majority of the residents along the project have secondary access to
alleys that run behind the properties for Clark Ave.
This project will include removal and replacement of the pavement surface as well as the
replacement of storm sewer and sanitary sewer structures and spot pipe repairs. New water
main is also planned for the length of the project. Sidewalk ramps within the project limits will
be brought up to current standards. Plans and specifications for this project were completed
by WHKS of Ames, IA.
This program also includes separate projects located along Campus Avenue and
Sunset Drive that will be bid independently of the Clark Avenue project.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A public meeting for the project was held on Dec 11th in the City Council Chambers of City
Hall. The meeting gave residents the opportunity to review the project, ask questions, and
express concerns. Notes and adjustments were made to the plans based on feedback from
residents during the public meeting.
