This project will improve water quality, reduce the number of lead service lines, increase firefighting capacity, and provide direct benefits to a HUD-Identified Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) population, Census Tract 10. This project location is along S Riverside Drive from S 4th Street to Lincoln Way. On October 21, 2025, City Council awarded a contract to Iowa Water & Waste Systems of Boone, IA in the amount of $559,321.30. One change order, in the amount of $22,835, was administratively approved by staff. Change Order No. 2 (this Council Action), in the amount of $81,792.08, is for utilizing trenchless methods for installation of the water main in lieu of open-cut excavation. The trenchless method better protects existing mature trees and minimizes impacts to properties located at the southern end of the project. Once construction activities began, the existing pavement was found to be in worse condition than initially anticipated. Therefore, in addition to the trenchless water main installation, this change order also includes additional pavement removal and replacement throughout the project. Revenue and expenses associated with the project are estimated as follows: Funding Source Available Revenue Estimated Expenses CDBG Funding $ 700,000 Construction (as bid) $559,321.30 Change Order No. 1 22,835.00 Change Order No. 2 (this Council Action) 81,792.08 Engineering/Administration (est.) 30,000.00 TOTAL $ 700,000 $693,948.08 1 ALTERNATIVES: 1.
