RE: First Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project (Phase 1)
— September 20 and October 18
This project will construct storm sewer improvements near First Avenue, between the
Lower Muscatine Road Reconstruction Project and the First Avenue Grade Separation
Project. Foth Infrastructure and Environment, LLC was hired to design the project. Final
plans and specs for Phase 1 were delivered in early September 2011, and the public
hearing was set on September 6 th
In the past, First Avenue has experienced flooding near the existing box culvert that
crosses under First Avenue south of Mall Drive. In addition, the mini -mall located at
1705 First Avenue has experienced flooding from the open ditch located behind the
building. The proposed storm sewer improvements are intended to address these
issues, as well as accommodating storm water from the proposed Lower Muscatine
Road Reconstruction and First Avenue Grade Separation projects, to reduce the
frequency of flooding at these locations in the future.
It is anticipated that the project will be designed and constructed in two phases. Phase 1
will include the installation of new storm sewer, removal and replacement of parking lot
pavement, and other related work to replace the open ditch behind the mini -mall at 1705
First Avenue. Phase 2 will include the installation of new storm sewer, removal and
replacement of parking lot pavement, and other related work from the northeast end of
the ditch behind the mini -mall (end of Phase 1) to the existing culvert, east of First
Avenue, where storm water flows onto the Proctor and Gamble site. Construction of
Phase 1 is expected to occur in the Fall of 2011, and construction of Phase 2 is
anticipated during the 2012 construction season.
Staff recommends proceeding with the following schedule for Phase 1 of this project:
September 20 — Hold public hearing
October 18 —Award construction to contractor
October (2011) thru May (2012) — Construction

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 13, 2011
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Chris O'Brien, Director of Transportation Services
Re: 2011 Parking Ramp Repair Project
Introduction: The Transportation Services Department is interested in funding the 2011
Parking Ramp Repair Project. The Resolution approving Plans, Specifications, Form of
Contract and Estimate of Cost will be considered at the September 20, 2011 City Council
Meeting.
History /background: As a part of our ongoing facility maintenance we routinely perform
repairs to concrete, caulk joints, expansion joints, etc., in order to maintain the integrity of the
facilities. This project will allow us to repair and seal damaged caulk joints, in three of our
facilities while also completing some minor concrete repairs. We plan to repair the caulk joints
on the tops of the facilities to prevent water from leaking through the joints to lower levels of the
parking decks.
Discussion of Solution: Our initial intent was to perform repairs to caulk joints and concrete in-
house, however, due to the duration of our LED installation project, we were not able to perform
some the maintenance necessary this season. We would like to contract these services out
through a competitive bidding process and have this work completed in late Fall and early
Spring.
Conclusion: We enlisted the services of VJ Engineering to complete a work detail and bid
documents for the 2011 Ramp Repair Project. They estimated the cost of this project at
$176,000.00 to be funded out of parking operations. This project will aid in extending the life of
the parking facilities and help protect against more costly repairs in the future.
