DATE:04-14-26
DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:2024/25 CDBG INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM (S RIVERSIDE DRIVE - S
4TH STREET TO LINCOLN WAY)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The intent of this project is to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to
replace approximately 1,280 feet of existing 12-inch cast iron water main with new 12-inch
water main and install new water services with copper piping on the south side of S Riverside
D r. 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
