SUBJECT:2025/26 CONCRETE STREET PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
NO. 2 (SUNSET DRIVE)
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 Sunset Drive from Ash Ave to Beach Ave.
Sunset Drive is primarily home to fraternities and sororities where residents typically
relocate during the end of July and the first weeks of August. The project is planned for
construction over two years to avoid impacting this typical relocation period for
residents.
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. The majority
of storm sewer pipe along the project will be replaced, and new water main will be installed 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 Clark
Avenue that will be bid independently of the Sunset Drive project.
On February 18, 2026, bids for the project were received as follows:
