I r Action: y� I �U L� I Item No. 14 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH STANLEY CONSULTANTS FOR DESIGN AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR A STORM WATER DETENTION STRUCTURE ON THE NORTH BRANCH OF RALSTON — CREEK. Comment: This agreement is identical to the one recently negotiated on the south branch of Ralston Creek and provides for a design phase, a bidding and construction phase, additional services of a con- a«ltant, property acquisition, and property survey. The contract amounts were determined by agreeing on a number of hours to per- form each function and multiplying this times the hourly rate. The preliminary and final design "not to exceed" is $60,400, the bidding and construction phase is $11,500 and the property ac- quisition phase is $14,400. The other two phases of the project, Additional Services of the Consultant and Property Survey, are undefined at this point and have no fee structure. It is an- ticipated that design and property acquisition will occur before the summer of 1980 and construction of the structure will occur in the summer of 1980. All environmental processes on this project have been satisfactorily completed; i Action: MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401NES Item No. 15 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING WATER MAIN COSTS EFFECTIVE FEBRU- ARY 1, 1979. 4.3 Comment: Comment: This resolution would adopt the following costa for water main installation: 6n 8" 10" 12" 16" Old fee 7.20 9.50 12.75 15.35 21.00 New fee 8.50 11.00 14.00 17.40 23.10 The previous water main cost schedule was adopted July 1, 1975, and these costa must now be increased to reflect increases In pipe fittings and labor.

No. 16 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING "SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT FOR TECHNICAL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY AND VEENSTRA KIMM" FOR THE RIVER CORRIDOR SEWERS PROJECT. Comment: This resolution would authorize the Mayor to execute an amendment to the engineering agreement providing for inspection and con- tract supervision of the Corridor Sewers Project. The not to exceed fee Is $284,422 for all phases of their work during the contract period. The City's share will be 20%, the balance com- ing from Federal (EPA) and State (IDEQ) sources. EPA and IDEA have already pre -approved the content and fee schedule for this amendment. The execution of this amendment is one of many pre- requlBltes for approval of the overall project. Action: 4)9-a / TGLa To ('/0 Item No. 17 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANS FOR REDEVELOPMENT ON URBAN RENEWAL PARCEL(S) 102-3,4. Comment: The First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Iowa City has submitted preliminary design plans for the improvements to be constructed on Urban Renewal parcels 102-3,4. These plane have been reviewed by the staff and were reviewed by the Design Re- view Committee at its meeting of December 13, 1978. The plans were approved 6-0 by the Design Review Committee, A resolution aporoving the preliminary design plans is included on the agenda f -..* the Council meeting of ,January 9, 1979. Attachment "A" to this resolution reserves the right to re -review the site plan In its entirety. The affect of the resolution will be to ap- prove the design of the building but because the site plan will require extensive revision, the staff recommends a complete reservation on the site plan.

Page 14 Item No. 18 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TRE CITY MANAGER TO SETTLE CLAIMS UP TO $10,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO SETTLE, 7/7_/•G CLAIMS UP TO 52;00Q._ �%3,0"n Comment: In the past, the City had insurance with a $1,000 deductible for a wide variety of claims. Therefore the Legal Department handled only those claims up to $1,000. Since this is no longer the case, it would seem reasonable to establish a policy whereby the Legal A)EW k&o _ Department has authority to negotiate and settle claims up to a set figure and the Legal Department with the approval of the a^ ?f City Manager has authority to settle claims up to a higher figure. 3,o ap Since the City Manager is authorized to execute contracts and sign waivers up to $10,000 he suggested that this would be a reasonable sum for the settlement of claims as well. Since the majority of claims are under $1,000, 1t would be more efficient to allow the Legal Department to settle all claims up to $2,000 independ^^ent y. Action: A/5410 �Fo. Item No. 19 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CERTAIN CITY EMPLOYEES TO EXECUTE CLAIM RELEASES. / Comment: The City must release parties when they pay claims for money damages the City has against them, e.g., negligent damage done to City vehicle. There has been some confusion as to who should sign such releases for the City, and this resolution would es- tablish a procedure.
