Please do not click any links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and their email address. Eric, Thank you for the opportunity to comment and for the excellent details about the proposed Terrill Mill Park (Iowa City, Iowa) project context. Careful review of the data available data through my office, including soils, known archaeological site locations, locations of previously conducted archaeological surveys, General Land Office mapping, and historical and modern aerial photographs (including lidar) clearly demonstrates that the proposed project activities have a very low potential for intersecting with as yet undiscovered buried archaeological deposits of significance. This said, if in the course of project activities unanticipated discovery of apparent archaeological materials occurs (including but not limited to stone or pottery artifacts, burned earth and rocks, large charcoal deposits, etc.), then construction activities must cease within 50 ft of the discovery and staff from the State Historic Preservation Office and Office of the State Archaeologist must be notified and allowed to evaluate and consult with DNR and LWCF staff about next steps.

Use 4,000 characters or less, Do not include sensitive or proprietary information as this summary may be made available on public websites and/or databases. The Terrell Mill Roller Park project (+/-11.7 AC) seeks to reactivate an existing park space in the northern region of Iowa City for walkers, runners, skateboarders, inline skaters, roller skaters, scooter riders, and bicyclists of all ages and abilities. The project will include the improvement of existing trails along with the addition of new trails to create a walking loop. Additional support walkways will provide connections to the existing parking lot and the surrounding neighborhood. This project will also include plaza areas at the entrances of the skate park and pump track. These gathering places will have shade structures, seating, relocated sculptural elements, and ornamental plantings. The pump track area itself will include beginner to intermediate elements with separate but connected loops for both skill levels. The skate park area will have its own beginner to intermediate areas with a variety of themed elements, site furniture, and native landscaping. The park will remain free and open to the public all year from dawn to dusk. The park is surrounded by the Iowa River to the south with City Park beyond, Dubuque Street to the east with multi -family housing beyond, and additional park space to the north and east with a church and multi -Family housing beyond. The existing site is comprised of turf, native planting, and sparse mature trees gently sloping from north to south. This site once held the historically significant Terrell Mill grist mill that was built in 1843. Existing site amenities include a parking lot, trail system, wooden shelter, existing skate park, restroom, and the University of Iowa Crew practice facility. These amenities will be maintained with minor adjustments for accessibility and trail connections. The Dubuque Street Trail is a multi -use trail that borders the park to the east and provides access from the adjacent University of Iowa and residentlal neighborhoods. 04/2024 cmc 7 DNR Form 542-0128 APPLICATION 2.

The project will include trails, walkways, gathering places, shelters, beginner to intermediate skate elements, beginner to intermediate pump track elements, site furniture, and native landscaping. GRANT PROJECT OVERVIEW The scaring criteria for LWCF grants is based on five main scoring criteria: relationship to Iowa SCORP priorities (3D pts.), local need and impact (30 pts.), partnerships and support (20pt5.), Impact on underserved communities and accessibility (10 pts.), and sustainability of design and future maintenance (1D pts.). Applications are assigned a five point bonus if the local entity has not previously received LWCF assistance on the project site. Please refer to Iowa's OPSP for more details on scoring criteria. 1. Project Abstract Summary. Describe the project in plain language. Use 4,000 characters or less. Do not include sensitive or proprietary information as this summary may be made available on public websites and/or databases. The Terrell Mill Roller Park project (+/-11.7 AC) seeks to reactivate an existing park space in the northern region of Iowa City for walkers, runners, skateboarders, inline skaters, roller skaters, scooter riders, and bicyclists of all ages and abilities. The project will include the improvement of existing trails along with the addition of new trails to create a walking loop. Additional support walkways will provide connections to the existing parking lot and the surrounding neighborhood. This project will also include plaza areas at the entrances of the skate park and pump track. These gathering places will have shade structures, seating, relocated sculptural elements, and ornamental plantings. The pump track area itself will include beginner to intermediate elements with separate but connected loops for both skill levels. The skate park area will have its own beginner to intermediate areas with a variety of themed elements, site furniture, and native landscaping. The park will remain free and open to the public all year from dawn to dusk. planning LandscapeAahiteaure rata 1ectnrvnpervmet�mva oryrre«eu n�n,xmir, aurkltz uer�erowesimaroca� 95%rwcr GrantApr(Imt,on lax eoordnpWovdVG—rrwywe_inemnd Page 2 The park is surrounded by the Iowa River to the south with City Park beyond, Dubuque Street to the east with multi -family housing beyond, and additional park space to the north and east with a church and multi- family housing beyond. The existing site is comprised of turf, native planting, and sparse mature trees gently sloping from north to south. This site once held the historically significant Terrell Mill grist mill that was built in 1843. Existing site amenities include a parking lot, trail system, wooden shelter, existing skate park, restroom, and the University of Iowa Crew practice facility. These amenities will be maintained with minor adjustments for accessibility and trail connections. The Dubuque Street Trail is a multi -use trail that borders the park to the east and provides access from the adjacent University of Iowa and residential neighborhoods. 2. Describe how the project goals align with priorities identified in Iowa's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), You may also include how the project goals meet priorities as described in other applicable state, regional, or local recreation plans or planning initiatives (30 pts). This project aligns with the Iowa's SCORP priorities in that it will increase the overall diversity of outdoor recreation opportunities for cyclists, skateboarders, roller skaters, in-line skaters, and scooters within Iowa City, regionally in Johnson County, and in throughout Iowa. With its close proximity to Interstate 80, many others state-wide will be able to more easily access the available amenities. The addition of a roller pump track will be unique to this region of Iowa, as there are very few available across the state. This project also aligns with SCORP priorities since it will promote increased regional use by allowing Iowa City to be able to host contests, exhibitions, and offer new programming with an expansion to the park. With the proposed improvements, Terrell Mill Roller Park will not only serve the greater Iowa City area as its skate park but also become a destination skate park with unique skating and wheeled sport activities with theming. Improvements through this project will also help with the recommendations made within the Iowa SCORP plan to increase Iowan's level of physical activity. Users will have more opportunities for physical outdoor activity with new trails to walk, run, bike or skate on. Attention will be drawn to the new destination skate park and pump track and will Page 3 more likely encourage more users to be outside and explore all that Terrell Mill Park has to offer. The work in this project will also help with master planning goals at the local level. One plan is Iowa City's 2019 Metro Bicycle Master Plan. This Master Plan is part of the City's commitment to providing equity in facilities and service to low income and underserved population. The plan specifies the following equity goals in particular: 1. Prioritize bicycle facilities that serve areas of multifamily housing and other areas of higher density residential development. • The location of the Terrell Mill Roller Park is within walking distance of several multi -family and low- income residents. 2. Raise public awareness of Safe Routes to School. 3. Provide opportunities for all children to learn to ride and have access to bicycles. The pump track will provide a safe and inviting place for children and families to learn and practice bicycle skills 4. Design bicycle programs to meet the unique needs of women, families, children, seniors, immigrants, and low-income communities. • These groups are well represented in the letters of support for this project. 5. Provide educational outreach to non-native speakers to teach rules of the road and raise awareness of the bike network. • This venue will provide an ideal location for roller skills classes and events. 6. Plan bicycle and pedestrian access and bicycle parking to employment centers and bus routes. • This venue is accessible by City transit, bicycle trails and is within walking distance of several multi -family residential areas. 7. Provide opportunities to gather input from underrepresented segments of the community, including youth, minorities, non- native speakers, etc. For the overall planning of parks, open spaces, and facilities within Iowa City, the 2017 Iowa City Park Master Plan also made 9 Page 4 recommendations based off of an analysis of their population and the available parks and facilities inventory for Iowa City. This plan identified the North District, which includes the project site, as needing additional neighborhood or mini parks to service emerging residential areas west/north of Dodge Street and south of 1-80. 3. Describe how project goals will satisfy local outdoor recreation unmet needs. Assessment of need should include scope of impact (regional/city wide/neighborhood); lack of resources or age/condition of resources; specific needs of user groups; and distance to other recreation opportunities. For acquisition, describe why the parcel is a high priority and will serve current or future needs of the area impacted (30 pts.) Project goals will satisfy unmet needs by providing a wider range of activities not currently offered by the existing skate park. New activities will also be available for those at different skill levels and abilities. The current skate park, built in 2002 and approximately one acre in size, is used by skateboarders, inline skaters, roller skaters, scooter riders, and cyclists. The park often has 40-60 skateboarders each evening even though its condition is rapidly deteriorating. Iowa City has a strong bicycle community with facilities for street biking, gravel riding, cyclocross and mountain bike. The one type of bicycle infrastructure that is missing is a flow track for freestyle and BMX use as well as a safe space for kids and adults who are new to bicycling to improve their skills. Public input has been received by the City of Iowa over the last year asking for renovations and expansion of the park into a Roller Park. These groups were present at the two open house meetings held for the Terrell Mill Roller Park project. These meeting participants requested a full range of amenities for beginners to experts be added. They also voiced that there was a need for support amenities to provide shade and spectator areas for the skate park. 4. Explain how project partners and cooperators are involved (financial, volunteer, etc) and how local input and participation was solicited during planning (20 pts). The original development in 2002 of the existing skate park in Terrell Mill Park was the product of a four-month public input process that included a steering committee comprised of area youth who were interested in skateboarding, their parents, leaders from community youth organizations and City staff. Through a series of workshops and design charrettes, a site selection process was held, and several facility concepts created. Further public meetings including Parks 8t Recreation Page 5 Commission and City Council meetings led to the selection of Terrell Mill Park and design of the existing Skateboard Park. City staff has been concerned about the deterioration of the concrete at the skate park for a number of years. Furthermore, the deficiencies in the current skateboard park have been brought to the attention of City leaders by avid roller sport users of the park For the current project, two open house meetings were held for public input and were facilitated by Iowa City Staff and the consultant team consisting of the landscape architect and skatepark designer. Attendees were given a brief overview of the project at both meetings and were asked to provide input. A voting exercise was held with boards showing skate park and pump track comparative images. Participants voted on style images they liked. Community members were also provided with a public survey that was available manually and digitally that included a range of questions concerning current conditions and proposed development of Terrell Mill Park. Partners in this project will include Iowa City Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, Downtown Iowa City Association, United Action for Youth, Dream City, Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, the Iowa City Bike Library and the University of Iowa Recreation Sports Division. There is also an active group of local roller sport enthusiasts who wish to support this project. (Appendix Document J). Letters of support from residents, local businesses and community organizations are included with this application to show the communities enthusiasm and interest in having this project move forward (See Appendix Document K). S. Describe how project goals will impact identified underserved communities. Explain how the project will increase accessibility (10 points). Project goals will impact underserved communities in that this project will increase the quantity of recreation opportunities available and will diversify the kinds of recreation opportunities. Terrell Mill Park is situated just north of downtown Iowa City adjacent to North Dubuque Street and the Iowa River. The park is in a Census block group that's population is more than 30% non-white. The park is also located adjacent to three Census block groups that have median household incomes that are lower than Iowa City's area median household income (AMI) - including one block group to the southwest that is Page 6 approximately SS% of AMI and another block group to the south that is below 30% AML Several large multi -family housing facilities are also located within close proximity to the park, including the University of Iowa's Mayflower Residence Hall (capacity 1,032 students) and the Cliff Apartments (24 units) located directly across Dubuque Street. Additionally, Haywood Drive Apartments (60 units) is located just to the north within Yz mile of Terrell Mill Park. Facilities at Terrell Mill Park, including the skate park, are the closest and most accessible recreational facilities to these residential areas. This area needs additional outdoor recreation facilities that target youth and underserved populations. The location of the park and the type of innovative facility target both needs. Several youth agencies have provided letters of support for the expansion of roller sports where recreational opportunities are low for at -risk teens. 6. Describe how the design or materials used have long lifespans and/or are low maintenance. Describe how the project will be maintained into the future (responsible agencies/organizations). For acquisitions, describe how the property could impact climate change resilience, connectivity, or future recreational needs (10 points). The design used for the proposed improvements places the new facilities further away from the Iowa River. Being north of the existing skate park location along with improved site grading will help reduce chances of flooding. This new layout will now also place the park's amenities in a more central location and will be closer to the parking lot. The materials that will be specified to be used in the proposed improvements will be selected for their longevity, resistance to vandalism, and ease of maintenance. Walkway surface materials including concrete will be from durable mixes with quicker curing times, able withstand heavier forces, and scored and jointed to allow for movement caused by freeze/thaw. Asphalt paving will also be selected for the mix's durability and consistency and that it must be poured in ideal weather conditions. Site furnishings and the shelter products selected will be selected from reliable vendors with products that are suited to the Iowa's climate and have been used by Iowa City in the past. The site is owned by and will be maintained by the City of Iowa City. This will include general site maintenance like mowing and cleanup and also It! Page 7 further site improvements as funding allows. General fund dollars are allocated toward park maintenance each year. BONUS: Has this project site received LWCF assistance previously? Use the mapping tool on Iowa's LWCF website to determine if a project area/park has received previous assistance. No, this project site has not received LWCF assistance previously. BUDGET NARRATIVE A budget table and narrative must be included with the application that describes how the LWCF funds will be used and includes sources of match funds for the project. Make sure to specifically identify what item(s) will be funded with LWCF grant funds. For multi -phased projects, only include budgetary information for the phase that the LWCF grant will be included in. The budget table below is required, along with the budget narrative. A supplemental, more detailed budget may be included as an attachment. In general, federal funds cannot be utilized as match funds for an LWCF grant project. The only exception to this requirement is if the other federal program states in its rules that it can specifically be utilized as an eligible match for the LWCF program. Narrative: LWCF funds, if received, will be used for sitework costs. This would include things like the purchase of a new park entry/identification sign, benches, and the installation of concrete and asphalt paving, specialty unit paving, shaped concrete paving for the skate park and pump track areas, shade trees, ornamental trees, shrub and perennial plantings, turf seed restoration, native plant seed, erosion control blanketing, site earthwork, irrigation service, electrical service, and site stormwater drainage. Matching funds for other costs for the project will be provided through Iowa City GO Bonds. GRANT PROJECT TIMELINE Please refer to the grant funding timeline provided in the OPSP when providing a project timeline. Work cannot begin on the project until NPS has issued an award and a grant agreement is in place. The project timeline and narrative must include project milestones (example: design phases) and measures (examples: playground installed, X miles of paved trail, etc.) that will provide quantifiable progress. Please provide an estimated date when the project will be open to the public. Provide a timeline estimate using the following form (Q=Quarter, Y -Year). Any proposed changes, including extensions or modifications in the project timeline, must be requested in writing and approved in advance by the DNR. F Page 8 Narrative: Assuming a fall 2024 award notice, Iowa City plans to complete design and permitting this fall, bid late this year or early next and begin construction in spring of 2025 with completion scheduled for fall 2025. FEDERAL PROJ DESC AND ENV SCREENING FORM Section 1.0 1. How was the cost estimate derived? The cost estimate was derived from quantities taken from the site development plan and then priced out using quotes requested from vendors and from reviewing unit prices from recent bids. Costs were calculated in a spreadsheet format. 2. What assurances are there that the costs listed are reasonable? The costs listed were provided by the manufacturers of the equipment and materials proposed in the plans. These costs were quoted within a month of the submission of this application and are as up to date as possible. Average unit costs from reviewing recently bid projects were also reviewed to help calculate costs. 3. Describe any project elements or costs that will improve site resiliency and facility longevity, if any. Project improvements will include site grading that will use the best practices to ensure improved drainage and accommodate existing and proposed amenities. This grading will also increase the longevity of on- site facilities by directing the flow of water away from them. Stormwater detention areas with native plants will also be connected to skatepark and pump track improvements that will allow water to be filtered through the basin and recharge the ground. 4. Are any eligible pre -award costs being included as part of the grant request? No. Section 2.0 B: Public Benefits (For All Project Types) 1. Describe both short- and long-term outdoor recreation benefits that will be achieved as a result of this project. This project will immediately provide increased programming to at both the local level within Iowa City, but also at a regional level for those living Page 9 in Johnson County and the state of Iowa abroad. New activities will be available for those at different skill levels and abilities who want to participate in roller sports. Users will have more opportunities for physical outdoor activity with new trails to walk, run, bike or skate on. Attention will be drawn to the new destination skate park and pump track and will more likely encourage more users to be outside and explore all that Terrell Mill Park has to offer. In the long term, this project's benefits would include Iowa City's ability to start hosting contests, exhibitions, and offer new programming teaching skating and biking skills. 2. Explain how this project fits as part of any other projects planned for this same site in the next three years. A single track, soft surface bicycle trail is being constructed to the north and west of the project site, within Terrell Mill Park. 3. Describe the process that led to the development of this project and how the public was involved. The original development in 2002 of the existing skate park in Terrell Mill Park was the product of a four-month public input process that included a steering committee comprised of area youth who were interested in skateboarding, their parents, leaders from community youth organizations and City staff. Through a series of workshops and design charrettes, a site selection process was held, and several facility concepts created. Further public meetings including the Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council meetings led to the selection of Terrell Mill Park and design of the existing Skateboard Park. City staff has been concerned about the deterioration of the concrete at the skate park for a number of years. Furthermore, the deficiencies in the current skateboard park have been brought to the attention of City leaders by avid roller sport users of the park. Their observations and feedback, along with needs identified in the 2017 Iowa City Park Master Plan led the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department to move forward with a new project to improve the current conditions at Terrell Mill Park and expand upon what is currently offered. The 2017 Master Plan specifically identified the North District, which includes the project site, as needing additional neighborhood or mini parks to service emerging residential areas west/north of Dodge Street and south of 1-80. This is the Page 10 area where this project will add and diversify current outdoor recreation facilities. The addition of a roller pump track will be unique to our region. For the current project, two open house meetings were held for public input and were facilitated by Iowa City Staff and the consultant team consisting of the landscape architect and skatepark designer. Attendees were given a brief overview of the project at both meetings and were asked to provide input. A voting exercise was held with boards showing skate park and pump track comparative images. Participants voted on style images they liked. Community members were also provided with a public survey that was available manually and digitally that included a range of questions concerning current conditions and proposed development of Terrell Mill Park. The Johnson County Cycling Committee has also provided quality feedback in the development of Terell Mill Park. In 2016, Think Iowa City (the convention & visitors bureau) formed the Johnson County Cycling Committee; a group of local cycling advocates from the Iowa City area who are passionate about the same goals. The committee's overarching goal is to make Johnson County, Iowa, the most bicycle friendly region in the state, Midwest, and country. Committee members range from bike shop owners, cycling club presidents, University of Iowa faculty, city parks & rec representatives, and even a former professional cyclist, Jason McCartney. The committee has been broken up into different committees with specific goals all adding to the same overarching objective to make the Iowa City area a destination known for all types of cycling and bike friendliness. Section 2.1: Not applicable. Section 22 A. Grant Elements 1. What new facilities will be constructed as part of this project? New facilities on this site will include two open-air cantilevered shelters. There will also be the new skate park and pump track, supported by asphalt and concrete walkways. 2. What existing facilities will be renovated or replaced (specify which) as part of this project? Provide the age/original construction date of each facility that will be renovated or replaced. Page 11 The existing concrete skate park will be replaced by the new proposed skate park and pump track. This existing skate park will still remain in place during construction to still have those amenities be available to visitors. This facility was constructed in 2002. 3. What general site improvements (e.g. demolition, site preparation, landscaping, habitat improvements, etc.) will be completed as part of this project? The general site improvements will include the installment of tree protection fencing, temporary construction fencing, silt fencing and drain protection, removal of portions of existing path, site earthwork, construction of asphalt and concrete paths, installation of skate park and pump track, installation of site furnishings, shelters, site stormwater underdrainage, planting of trees, shrubs, perennials and native detention areas, irrigation and site electrical service. 4. What is the anticipated life span of the facilities that will be funded as part of this project? The anticipated life span for the facilities in this project is expected to be in the 15 -20 -year range if properly maintained. Does the project scope include facilities that also eligible for Dingell -Johnson or Wallop -Breaux Act funding (i.e., boat/fish access)? No. Does this project involve the new development of a sheltered/enclosed swimming pool or ice-skating rink or the sheltering/enclosure of an existing outdoor pool or rink? No. B. Design Elements 1. How are access requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) being addressed in this project? Requirements for both the ADA and ABA will be met with the proposed improvements. Concrete and asphalt walkways will be graded to be relatively level and will not be steeper than 1:20 to align with current ADA standards. The proposed trail will be an accommodating S' width or larger with bump outs for site furnishing like benches to stop at. All ages and abilities will be able to use the proposed paved surfaces, whether on foot, wheelchair, or bicycle. Access points to the park are currently compliant and have the proper striping, signage, grading, and other ADA measures needed to be accessible. Depressed concrete curb sections with tactile warning plates will be located at access points to the parking lot. Users F Page 12 will also be able access all portions of the proposed skate park, pump track, and central gathering areas with properly graded and unobstructed points to enter/exit. Both the skatepark and pump track activities will include amenities such as a variety of bowls, grinding walls and rails, a spine wall, hips, acceleration bumps and other street skating elements. In addition, a pump track will be added that will have paved loops, hills and bowls available for a larger range of wheeled equipment - bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades/skates and scooters. 2. What design elements are included that contribute to preserving environmental resources as part of ensuring a quality outdoor recreation experience for present and future generations? The design elements within this project will not only help preserve the existing environmental resources currently on site, but will look to enhance the overall natural setting the park resides in. Site demolition and removals will involve the installation of temporary facilities such as tree protection fencing to create barriers between work and vegetation to be preserved. Silt fencing and storm drain protection will also be used to prevent work done during construction from affecting the current flow of stormwater and preventing contamination. The overall placement of the design elements has been done to preserve existing trees and the footprint for proposed improvements has been carefully placed only in open areas of the park. Additionally, any grading adjustments made in the construction documentation stage of the project will be made to ensure proper drainage and minimal interference with existing tree roots. Shade trees, shrubs, perennials, and plants within the stormwater detention basins included in the improvements will also be species that are native to Iowa and will be selected for their resiliency, environmental benefits, and aesthetics. Section 3.0 A. Basic Information (, Will this project create a new public park/recreation area where none previously existed? If yes, explain. No. 1 If this is an existing LWCP site, has the park name changed since the last grant? Page 13 If yes, please provide the previous site name and/or LWCF project numbers, if known. No. 3. Is this project located in a floodplain? Yes, this project is located within the floodplain of the Iowa River, 4. Is the site contiguous with or connected to any federally owned recreation area? If yes, explain. No. 5. Is the site part of a larger management area, such as a greenway or regional recreation area? If yes, explain. Yes, this project is part of a larger management area. The site is connected to the Iowa River and subsequently the Iowa River Trail which is managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Johnson County Conservation Department. The park is connected to the Iowa City bicycle and pedestrian trail system and connects it to adjacent neighborhoods, Downtown Iowa City, Iowa City parks, and the University of Iowa campus. Terrell Mill Park is in close proximity to other Iowa City open spaces including City Park which includes baseball fields, tennis courts, a playground, horseshoe courts, boating access, fishing spots and an outdoor swimming pool. City Park is 0.5 miles away and is across the Iowa River. It is connected to Terrell Mill Park via the Dubuque Street Trail. Additional recreation amenities within a 1 -mile radius include two additional neighborhood parks with small playgrounds, garden plots, picnic shelters and a basketball court. 6. Describe the existing site conditions. The park is surrounded by the Iowa River to the south with City Park beyond, Dubuque Street to the east with multi -family housing beyond, and additional park space to the north and east with a church and multi- family housing beyond. The existing site is comprised of turf, native planting, and sparse mature trees gently sloping from north to south. This site once held the historically significant Terrell Mill grist mill that was built in 1843. Existing site amenities include a parking lot, trail system, wooden shelter, existing skate park, restroom, and the University of Iowa Crew practice facility. These amenities will be maintained with minor adjustments for accessibility and trail connections. 7. Explain why the site is suitable for the type of outdoor recreation project being submitted. 9 Page 14 This site is suitable for the proposed improvements since it already has a skate park and would involve an expansion of the same kind of recreation amenities currently found at Terrell Mill Park. This site's parcels are currently zoned to be P1 Neighborhood Public land by the City of Iowa City. 8. Does the site include any elements that visually detract from the outdoor recreation experience or that represent a potential public safety hazard? No. What is/will be the applicant's type of ownership and control of the property? Applicant's type of ownership is Fee Simple. B. Basic Information 1. Is this a multi-use/multi- management site (i.e. school)? If yes, explain. a. How often will the public have recreation access to the site? b. What kinds of restrictions to public outdoor recreation will occurl No. 2. Who will manage and operate the site(s)? The Iowa City Parks & Recreation Department is managing the development of this site. The Iowa City Parks & Recreation Department has managed several similar -sized projects in recent years. The site is owned by and will be maintained by the City of Iowa City. General fund dollars are allocated toward park maintenance each year. Describe the nature of any rights-of-way, easements, reversionary interests, etc. within the proposed LWCF boundary area. Please provide description of known utilities (above and below ground). Rights of way and easement areas within the LWCF boundary exist along Dubuque Street. The current right of way is east of the sidewalk and there is a 10' public utility easement west of that right of way boundary also running northysouth. There are no proposed improvements within the right of way or the public utility easement. Utilities within Terrell Mill Park have been surveyed by a professional land surveying company and were identified in the field and with the use of Iowa One Call. Site utilities are primarily located to the eastern edge of the site along Dubuque Street and to the south of the existing skate park. A 12" reinforced concrete stormwater pipe runs north/south along Dubuque Street within the parkway. Traffic light conduit also runs Ii! Page 15 north/south along Dubuque Street in this parkway area, east of the sidewalk. An 8" PVC pipe connects to this stormwater line from the west and collects stormwater from the Iowa Crew Complex facility. An electrical service line runs parallel to the east/west PVC pipe to provide service to the Iowa Crew facility. A 6" corrugated perforated stormwater pipe runs from the existing skate park north to south. An additional 12" reinforced concrete stormwater pipe runs from the northeast corner of the Iowa Crew Complex facility and collects stormwater from the north side of the building and the existing parking lot. The existing utilities on the site will remain undisturbed by the proposed development. Any utility lines that will need to be connected to provide services to the proposed site developments will be coordinated by the design consultant team in conjunction with the City of Iowa City to ensure local codes are being followed. 4. Are there any pre-existing or planned indoor facilities on site that would not themselves be eligible for LWCF grant funding? If yes, describe and explain how/if the structure(s) support public outdoor recreation. Yes. University of Iowa Crew Complex is located at Terrell Mill Park. This indoor facility is available to the public and offers classes to teach sport rowing for different age levels and levels of ability. The University of Iowa's Recreational Services staff run this program. This facility also supports the University of Iowa's NCAA Division I Women's rowing team. 5. Is the proposed LWCF boundary the same as the boundary of the park/recreation area as it exists in its totality? If no, explain any area proposed for exclusion and why, and ensure it is clearly depicted on the proposed LWCF boundary map. No, the LWCF boundary does not include the park's entire boundary in its totality. This excluded area is the portion of the park to the west of the existing parking lot. It is being excluded because there are no proposed improvements for this area that will use grant funding. See the attached LWCF boundary maps that show this area. 6. Are there any pre-existing or planned resource management practices (i.e. timber management, grazing, CRP, etc.)? No. Are there any pre-existing or planned uses on site that are incompatible with LWCF requirements that should be excluded from the LWCF boundary? If yes, describe the nature of the use and ensure it is clearly depicted on the proposed LWCF boundary map, Clarify whether the future intent is for the area to become subject 9 Page 16 to LWCF once the use is terminated, or if the intent is for the use to continue within the park in perpetuity. No. C. Environmental Resources Survey 1. Have there been any previous NEPA/SEPA documents that are relevant to this project or this specific site? If yes, attach and summarize findings and include page number references below. No. Explain any negative or unknown impacts identified in Table 1, or any boxes marked "yes" in Table 2. Not applicable. 3. How was the information identified in the tables derived and what sources of data were used to justify the impact selection? The expertise of a combined team of landscape architectural consulting firm and a civil engineering firm was utilized. Information was gathered resources made available by Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department and Johnson County GIS. Further consultation of the State Archaeologist with the University Archaeologist was also used. 4. Who contributed to filling out the Environmental Resources Survey (include name, title, agency) and what qualifications do they have that provide the necessary resource expertise to determine impact significance? The Environmental Resources Survey was filled out by members of the consultant team including Eric Hornig (Senior Principal) and Andy Howard (Design Principal) from Hitchcock Design Group, a professional landscape architecture firm. Attached to this application are resumes for qualifications (See Appendix Document L). S. List all required federal, state, and local permits/approvals needed for the project and explain their purpose and status. Note: Additional environmental and/or historical assessments, surveys, reports and/or permits may be required after further review of the grant project by Iowa DNR, NPS, the Iowa SHPO or other associated agencies. Permits that will be required for this project will include those that would be issued by the City of Iowa City and the Iowa EPA. Permits are required from the City of Iowa City to ensure compliance with local code and City planning. Iowa EPA permits would be needed to ensure proposed plans are in compliance with their environmental standards and any work Page 17 completed will not have any serious affects to the surrounding land or bodies of water. These permits will be applied for once construction documents have been developed and can be reviewed by these governing bodies. D. Cultural and Historic Resources Review 1. Have there been any previous cultural and/or historic resource surveys completed that included this site within the area of potential effect that was assessed? If no, describe any construction planned as a result of this project that will extend beyond the pre-existing disturbance area (including surface area and depth). If yes, attach survey and summarize findings and include page number references below Project limits are within previously disrupted areas of the initial park development. Proposed improvements are mostly paving to +/- 9" depth with post footing penetrations to support vertical elements (signs, shelter posts, skate elements) to frost depth of +1-4'. E. Terrell Mill Park Archaeological Desktop Review 1.

Keyser was in middle school at the time and had already been skateboarding for a few years. He got into skating in the late '90s after he and his brother got Tony Hawke Pro Skater for the PlayStation 2. He thought it would be cool to learn how to do the tricks that are done in the video game. Di{�nit�% Oeir,waei% I- How many Americans serve in our armed forces?

We'd get off at the main bus station by the Old Capitol Mall, and we would ride our skateboards down Dubuque Street and check on the progress," Keyser said. Now in his 30s, Keyser still considers himself a regular at the park. "I just remember being super excited to have a big outdoor concrete park, which when I first started [skateboarding], I wouldn't have even thought that that was something that we would ever have." That excitement for the nearly 20 -year-old skatepark hasn't gone away. If anything, it's only increased as more and more skaters have used the park. Local skaters of all ages who spoke with Little Village expre sed enthusiasm for skating's more socially acceptable status in town and the "home away from home" that l as been cultivated at the IC skatepark. hUps:IPltlleviilagemag.comtiowa-city,skatepark-Improvement! 2112 Hitchcock Design Group Project Just if cation - Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 5180124, 8.39 AM Amid a tlourlshing Iowa skate culture, locals look to improve the lova City skatepark- Little Village But some of the skaters also recognize there might be ways to make the park even better for skaters of all skill levels, anti they have started discussions about potential improvements ahead of the City of lowa City's stated six -figure renovation of the skatepark. Terrell Mill Park, 1201 N Dubuque St, Iowa C(p• —Jason Smitla/Little village 'R's far more than just a skatepark' While skateboarding was popular in Iowa City a decade ago, it was a different scene before the skatepark was built. Back then, there were wooden ramps with sheet metal coverings on them in the parking lot at Mercer- Park. The park is right next to Southeast Junior High School, so after school got out. Keyser would grab his board and meet up with his friends. The group would skate on the ramps and then take the bus to the University of Iowa campus and weave through downtown streets. httpeJAittleviilagemag comliowa-city-skatepark-improvementi 3122 Hitchcock Design Group Project Just! fcation -Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 61=24, 8:39 AM Amid a Flourishing Iowa skate culture, locals took to improve the Iowa City skatepark - little Village "It was kind of tike the gathering place to hang out, but it was ... just kind of a completely different vibe than when they built the big outdoor concrete park that we have now," Keyser said. Vince Onel, who grew up in Iowa City and now lives in Los Angeles, said he and his friends skated at Mercer Park from time to time, but it was more difficult to get over there since they lived on the other side of town. Onei started skateboarding in the mid -'90s when he was about 10 years old. Onel mostly skateboarded in his neighborhood with his friends, and it wasn't until he began taking the bus into downtown Iowa City that he realized how many other kids were also skating. Both Keyser and Onel, who met each other through skateboarding, recalled being chased by police downtown. Other than the ramps at Mercer, there wasn't really a legal place to go and skate—until the skatepark opened. "1 think the city recognized there was a need for a safe and designated place for kids to go ride their skateboards, and the police wanted somewhere where they could tell people to go skateboard," Onel said. The Iowa City skatepark opened in October 2002 at Terrell Mill Park. It was built by MBA Concrete Inc. of North Liberty. The initial cost estimate for the park was $300,000, but the final cost was $380,000, the Iowa City Press -Citizen reported in 2002. https:116tllevillagemag.comtiawa-city-skatepark-ImpmvemenU 4/22 Hitchcock Design Group Project Jif on -Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 560124, 8:39 AM Amid a flourishing Iowa skate culture, locals look to improve the Iowa City skatepark- Little Village Ic-ra Ciry SkaCepar'n,lme2) —Jason S���'Lk;Ie VIIaaF� The park was constructed with concrete along with stainless steel edging and coping. There are a number of bowls, grinding walls and rails, acceleration bumps and other Features. There weren't many concrete skateparks in Iowa at the nine, Onel said, adding that Iowa City was "ahead of its thine "There were few municipalities in Iowa at that time who even recognized a need for a skatepark, so I would say Iowa City was pretty progressive in that sense to even consider building a skatepark," One] said.

"That was my home away from home where many of my lifelong friendships were born. My friends and I hosted events and competitions [and] barbecues at that skatepark. So it's far more than just a skatepark. It was a home for me, and holds a special place in my heart." "It was more than just about skating—it was connecting with other people," he continued. "And that's what I love so much about skateparks. That's what made me so passionate about this field once I formally got into it, is that skateparks are so important, especially nowadays where people are just on their phones, behind the computer, watching TV, It's a great way to get outside and connect with other people." Onel said looking at how the Iowa City skatepark was built through a "modern lens" sheds light on some of the wonity geometry and features that might interrupt the flow while skating. "Some of the construction quality leaves something to be desired," Onet added, Things came full circle when Keyser called him and mentioned there were "some rumblings" about trying to make improvements to the skatepark. ®Iowa City Skatepark Little Village 0638 Potential renovations Ryan Wade found himself spending hours at the skatepark last summer when his son Ben took up skateboarding and began to take lessons from local skater Peyton Meters. It was then that Wade realized how httpzl/l[tHevillagemeg.com/iowa-city-skatepark-improveinanU 8122 Hitchcock Design Group Project Just! fcation -Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 5!30!2§.8:39 AM Amid a nourishing Iowa skate culture, locals look to improve the Iowa Guy skatepark- Little Village busy the skatepark got and the need for more space and possibly some lights. "I drove by it every day, and I would see it's busy, but I never thought I'd go down there and spend hours," Wade said. "Now that I've spent time there, I'm like, holy cow, this thing has a lot of potential. There's a tot of area there, How can I be involved?" Wade got to talking with local skater and retired musician Ed Netuing, who looped in Keyser, From there, Onel got involved, as did a number of the skaters who frequently used the park. Nehring said about 10 skaters are regularly involved in the conversations, but more are asked for their input during general chats at the park any given day. Whether the renovations can happen isn't for certain and neither is the budget, but skaters have already started to think about what improvements they'd like to see made to the park. hitps:llittllevlliagemaq.comtiowa-clty-skatepark-impmvemenli 7/22 Hitchcock Design Group Project Justifcation -Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 5138124, 8:39 AM Amid a Flourishing Iowa skate culture, locals look to improve the Iowa City skaepark - Little Village Ed Nehring has been skating and visiting the Iowa Cay Skatepark to, more than a decade, and is spearheading efforts to improve the park,—Jason Smith/Little Village Something Nehring has noticed is the way he skates at the Iowa City park is different from how he rides at Davenport's skatepark. He said one of the main differences is the texture of the concrete at the Iowa City skatepark, which isn't as smooth and slippery. Nehring has been skateboarding since the mid -'70s. He wanted to surf as a kid but living in Iowa didn't really allow for that. So, he started skateboarding. Nehring has lived in Iowa City since 1985 and has been coming down to the Iowa City park for about 15 years. The difference in skating is something Meters noticed as well. "The way you skate it is a lot more unique and fast -paced and more spontaneous," Meiers said. "I feel like it's honestly made a lot of my skating that way from skating this park." Another aspect Nell mentioned was that some of the bowls are uneven at the top, meaning that one side is higher than the other. "If you can get to the top of the wall on this end to try and get to the top of a higher wall means you have to work quite a bit harder," Nehring explained. "... When it's even all the way across all around the top, it just makes more sense mathematically as to how well it is to ride." Positioning some c the grind rails in a way that allows skaters to transition from one to the other would also really make a difference, Nehring said. Two of the rails are positioned on either side of the Iowa City Skate Park sign, so there's no straight shot from one to the other. A few minor changes wound improve the overall functionality of the skatepark, Opel said. (Onel has been helping the group of local skaters on his own time without charge. What has been discussed so far has been conceptual, and he has not been hired by the city—although he did say it would be a dream come true to design and build the new Iowa City skatepark.) One of the other top suggestions mentioned was making the park more beginner -Friendly while still providing a challenge for experienced skaters. haps:tAittlevillagemag.comliowa-city-skatepark-improvamenY 9122 Hitchcock Design Group Project Justifcation - Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 513fW24, 339 AM Amitl a flourishing Iowa skate coltr e.. locals look to improve the Iowa City skatepan - Little Village Ali_=tlpaInc, c ,cgs up har mor rollarskn e, _ a 2¢ >I _ 1 V -shed In Lhe I'Vh-eI)J Skaten A couple MO,ntli nrter,h.=_ vLarred s sCna ani nn be a long-term hobby.- n un Smit r Ule VII'sge Keyser said the park can be seen as intimidating for people who arejust starting out. Adding some smaller ramps and having some other reatures geared toward entry-level skateboards Could make the park a better place for people to learn how to navigate both flat and slanted eround, It's something Ben 1>v'ade said he'd appreciate. Wade is currently I I years old and has been skateboarding for about a year. His favorite part about skating is how many different tricks there are to master. In addition to potential smaller improvements, there is a larger renovation of the skatepark looming, although it's still a few years away. lowa City has $600,600 earmarked in its capital improvement plan to renovate the skatepark in 2025, the city's Parks and Recreation Director Jolt Seydell Johnson said. impChlitllev8lagerrag.comilowa- city skatcoannmprovemenh 10122 Hitchcock Design Group Project Just! fcation -Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 5130724, 629 AM Amid a Flourishing Iowa skate culture, locals look to Improve the Iowa City skatepark- Uttle Village "That would likely be kind of an overhaul of the entire skatepark site, and honestly, that's about as far as the conversation has gotten at this point with us," Seydell Johnson said. The intent would be that the planning and design process would start in 2024, along with public input. The actual construction would be scheduled for the following year. "1 would envision a number of stakeholder meetings or meetings with users out at the park to actually talk about what they use it for, how they like it, what else they'd like to see or envision, and we would need them to help teach us what they'd like to see as much as figuring out what's possible," Seydell Johnson said. Seydell Johnson is aware of the group of skaters interested in some smaller improvements ahead of the city's renovation. The city has had initial conversations with the group and is interested in talking with them but there is "nothing definite at this point and no timeline," Seydell Johnson said. Nehring said a concern that has come up from the skaters is that the park will be closed during the city's renovation and there will be nowhere for people to skate. Whether or not that's the case depends on what happens during the design process, Seydell Johnson said. Generally speaking, she said the city has done it both ways, and referenced playgrounds as an example. "Sometimes the old playground has to come out before the new one can go in, but last summer, we had a couple where the old playground stayed in place throughout the entire constriction period," Seydell Johnson said. "So it really just depends on how in-depth the renovations are [and] what kind of choices are being made to really know that for the site." https7liittlevillagemag,comliowaoity-skatepark.Improvement/ 11122 Hitchcock Design Group Project Justification -Public Input City of Iowa City Terrell Mill Roller Park 5130124, a'.39 ASM Amid a Ilourisiang Iowa Skate culture, locals look to improve the Iowa City skatepark -Little Village •Ev'.olno here I., and rlpp f Tive and encpriragina 4 asr,'iatilt n••.igreIi I`tir Gino 1_ e,uag["Elle Zoltan J, .,aiq m',he l' .Kat a+r< rorn,.ni r •m nns 75 ree l ly btl o No aq_ se* nhhou a^ is hom [the -no of toe nignt? A shift in acceptance In the years he's been coming to the skalepark. Nehring has seen the environment shift with each group of skaters. "Every skatepark has a different vibe that evolves with whoever the skaters are that are going there at the time," Nehring said. "I've been coming down here for about 15 years, and this is by far the best group of people than have ever been the local skaters." Nehring said sometimes people in the community who aren't familiar with skateboarding might perceive skaters as nnublemakers, but lie's noticed a shift in how skateboarding is being perceived in [owa, particularly with the Liuridsen Skatepark in Des Moines.

Skateboarding is making its debut at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and the 12 members of the inaugural team were announced in Junc. "It's already bringing in revenue and attention," Nehring said about the Des Moines skatepark. "I think things like that change the community's attitude about skateboarders and will open them up to being more supportive of a renovation here." Keyser also hopes that the Iowa City community will be supportive of whatever renovations happen at the slcatepark because "it's an incredible asset for our community" that is constantly being utilized. "Renovations or expansion or whatever ends up happening to that city park, I think that'll only bring more people into that social circle and expand it more and make it more inclusive for everybody," Keyser said. "As somebody who's been around that slcatepark since its inception, it's just really cool right now in skateboarding, it seems to be not only more socially accepted but just a really awesome group of people that are there right now." hulas:811Nevlliagernag.Qomiiowa-city-skatepark-Improvemenit 13122 Hitchcock Design Group 5(30124,8 39 AM Project Justification -Public Input City of lotua City Terrell Mill Roller Park Amid a flourishing Iowa skate culture, locals look to improve the Iowa City skatepark-Utile Village I „y nayron III =_iersr I l i✓ecz seu,p.par Im,arrIlip,ilin, I-,ickat:he ln,,.;, 'i-tSKIt=_pa<7une20il JoisonSn-i_h,_: It hVllaete It's all about feeling.

It definitely became popularized on that app at the beginning of the pandemic, and I was at home and bored and thought, Why don't I get a cheap pair online? I took a chance not knowing if it would stick or not, if it'd be a good investment, and it ended up being really fun. I started on my wood floors at home then migrated to parking tots with no cracks, no sidewalks. I was pretty incessant about going every day. After about a month I came [to the skatepark], then another month before I felt comfortable dropping into the bowl and learning tricks. Everyone here is pretty welcoming and supportive and encouraging; it wasn't a place where I felt "this is too daunting." Everyone is really big on sharing. No one is left here without a ride home at the end of the night. But it definitely took a while being the only one on roller skates and feeling comfortable moving around without running into people and being run over. That agility definitely took me a while to get. There are things built into the park that interrupt the flow, so removing those would be beneficial. Another huge thing would be lights, which are really pricey, but having lights would ensure just more time for skating — people can be out here past 4 p.m. in the winter, if there's no snow. I might not be here in five years, but I hope in five years the park is here and it's kicking, There's room for so many people to come to the skatepartc and I hope that the demographics keep changing to be as diverse as possible. Skating cemented itself really obviously as something [that's] going to be a part of my life no matter if I'm in grad school or working a full-time job.

Eric, Thank you for the opportunity to comment and for the excellent details about the proposed Terrill Mill Park (Iowa City, Iowa) project context. Careful review of the data available data through my office, including soils, known archaeological site locations, locations of previously conducted archaeological surveys, General Land Office mapping, and historical and modern aerial photographs (including Iidar) clearly demonstrates that the proposed project activities have a very low potential for intersecting with as yet undiscovered buried archaeological deposits of significance. This said, if in the course of project activities unanticipated discovery of apparent archaeological materials occurs (including but not limited to stone or pottery artifacts, burned earth and rocks, large charcoal deposits, etc.), then construction activities must cease within 50 ft of the discovery and staff from the State Historic Preservation Office and Office of the State Archaeologist must be notified and allowed to evaluate and consult with DNR and LWCF staff about next steps. I'm copying Jessica Flatt with DNR's LWCF program, but you should include the above information in your application submittal. Sincerely, John F.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT June 4, 2024 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a grant agreement with Iowa City Downtown District for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Prepared By: Reviewed By: Fiscal Impact: Staff Recommendation Commission Recommendations: Attachments: resolution ICDD agreement Rachel Kilburg, Economic Development Coordinator Geoff Fruin, City Manager The City has been allocated $18,325,190 in ARPA-SLFRF funds, of which $500,000 has been allocated for SSMID support. This agenda item would authorize expenditure of $250,000 of those funds. Approval N/A Executive Summary: As part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the City was awarded State and Local Fiscal Recovery (SLFRF) funds to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. This resolution authorizes a grant agreement with the Iowa City Downtown District for $250,000 to install interactive lighting and public art improvements in targeted pedestrian mall alleys and walkways. This resolution further authorizes the City Manager to amend the agreement as needed. This agenda item advances the City Council's Strategic Plan action item: "Create flexible incentives to support the top goals of Iowa City's Self -Supporting Municipal Improvement Districts." Background /Analysis: In an effort to support continued recovery of tourism, arts, and small business following the COVID-19 pandemic, the City allocated $500,000 towards supporting the two Self - Supporting Municipal Improvement Districts (SSMIDs). By partnering with each SSMID, the City's funds can be invested in placemaking efforts that support small business recruitment and retention in these important business centers. This agreement provides funding for the Iowa City Downtown District to install interactive lighting and art improvements in three targeted alley areas that most heavily used by pedestrians: • The exterior walkway along the west boundary line of 210 Dubuque St. (commonly referred to as the Graduate walkway) • The pedestrian mall alley between Dubuque St. and Linn St. • The pedestrian mall alley between Dubuque St. and Clinton St. The Iowa City Downtown District identified these three areas as locations that serve as an entrance to high-density off -campus housing, pedestrian day and nighttime traffic, and service entrances for independent businesses. The Downtown District intends to collaborate with design experts and engineers to craft unique and artful interactive lighting installations for each of these areas. The new light installations will complement existing alley light art projects such as Jason Snell's "Sprites" in the alley off Dubuque & Linn St. and the partial light canopy designed by Limbic Media. The project will increase public safety, create additional space for positive artful experiences, and create a more welcoming environment during the night hours through art. Furthermore, this project responds to feedback from businesses, property owners, customers, and the ICPD that thoughtful lighting enhancements are needed to ensure safe and accessible navigation during the evening hours. Prepared by: Rachel Kilburg, Economic Development Coordinator, 410 E. Washington St., Iowa City, IA 52240 (319) 356-5248 Resolution No. 24-149 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a grant agreement with Iowa City Downtown District for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Whereas, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe negative economic impact on tourism, arts and culture, and small businesses in the Iowa City area and elsewhere; and Whereas, the City encourages area businesses and arts and culture efforts to work together on recovery efforts; and Whereas, the City Council's Strategic Plan establishes an action item to create flexible incentives to support the top two goals of Iowa City's two Self -Supported Municipal Improvement Districts (SSMIDs); Whereas, City Council allocated $500,000 in ARPA funds to support the organizational goals of both SSMIDs and aid in recovery from the pandemic on tourism, arts and culture, and small business in each district; and Whereas, the Iowa City Downtown District seeks to complete placemaking improvements such as alley beautification, lighting, and public art; and Whereas, the City desires to provide funds to allow the Iowa City Downtown District to complete placemaking improvements which support small business recruitment and retention in the district; and Whereas, the provision of the services as set forth in the attached Recipient Grant Agreement is a public purpose. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that: The City Manager is authorized to execute the attached Recipient Grant Agreement and amendments thereto as needed.

Prepared By: Marri Van Dyke — Civil Engineer Reviewed By: Jason Havel - City Engineer Ron Knoche — Public Works Director Geoff Fruin - City Manager Fiscal Impact: $320,000 available in the Water Divisions Operating Budget, account #73730130. Staff Recommendation: Approval Attachments: Resolution Executive Summary: This item begins the process for the 2024 Water Pavement Patching Project, which includes pavement repairs associated with water main breaks on various streets throughout Iowa City. Types of pavement that need repaired include portland cement concrete (PCC), PCC with hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay, and full depth HMA. Some locations will also require replacement of driveway, sidewalk, and/or curb and gutter. Background /Analysis: On average, there are approximately 60 water main breaks in Iowa City each year. Street and sidewalk pavement typically need to be replaced following water main repairs. With limited resources and the emergency nature of the pavement repairs, the City combines the pavement repairs at multiple main break sites into a single project to more efficiently address pavement damage resulting from water main breaks. As additional main breaks occur later this year, those sites will also be added to this project for repair.
