COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This utility project included new water main infrastructure that improved water quality, reduced
the number of lead services in the water distribution system, increased firefighting service
capacity in this area, and benefited a HUD-identified Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI)
population (Census Tract 10). The project location was along S Russell Avenue from S
4th Street to Lincoln Way.
On October 21 , 2025, City Council awarded a contract to Iowa Water & Waste System of
Boone, Iowa, in the amount of $484,024.40. One change order was administratively approved
by staff as part of the project. Change Order No. 1 (balancing), an increase in the amount of
$29,537.55, reflected actual measured quantities used during construction. The primary items
contributing to the balancing change order include additional required water main fittings and
increased quantities of pavement patching. Construction was completed in the amount of
$513,561.95.
Revenue for this project came from available Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program and the associated expenses with the project are shown in the table below:
