A proposal guarantee, not less than the amount as set forth in the proposal form, shall be filed with
each proposal. The proposal guarantee shall be in the form of a certified check or credit union certified
share draft, cashier's check, money order or bank draft drawn on a solvent bank or credit union.

without DBE goals, the contractor must show that affirmative action has been made to seek out and

package of projects). The Contracting Authority will determine which combination of proposals produce
the lowest bid for these projects.

• on the Internet at www.ia.bidx.com or www.iowadot.gov

highway system. All federal -aid projects are subject to the Contract Work Hours Standards Act, as
amended (title I of Pub. L. 87 -581, Aug. 13, 1962, 75 Stat.357) and implementing regulations.
By virtue of statutory authority, a preference will be given to products and provisions grown and coal
produced within Iowa, and also, a resident bidder shall be allowed a preference as against a
nonresident bidder from a state or foreign country which gives or requires a preference to bidders from
that state or foreign country both on projects in which there are no federal funds involved.

IOWA CITY
—ara�r
3d(12)
Date: January 3, 2013
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Shannon McMahon, Communications Coordinator
Re: Elimination of Electronic Communications Specialist position and creation of Digital
Communications Specialist position
Introduction:
Throughout the past six months, the City's Communications Office has transitioned from an
internal communications and document support division (Document Services) to a division that
is more keenly focused on external communications and marketing efforts (public outreach,
media relations, expanded use of social media, promotion of City programs and events, and
increased citizen interaction), improved customer service, and enhanced internal
communications. The communications team is made up of five staff members, including a
Communications Coordinator, a Communications Assistant, an Electronic Communications
Specialist, and two part-time Communications Aides who provide customer service at the front
lobby information desk. It has been an extremely busy six months, but we are making great
strides toward meeting the goals that have been set to improve and strengthen the City's
communications efforts, both with the public and within the organization.
One of our key communication tools is the City's website, which was custom - designed and
developed in -house by our Electronic Communications Specialist, who left in November for a
job in the private sector. Since that time, other Communications staff members have been
handling web - related requests. With the departure of our Electronic Communications Specialist,
we have had the opportunity to take stock of our current communications tools and explore new
avenues to meet the City's communications needs while utilizing our resources in the most
efficient and effective way possible. After this review of our resources and researching current
trends in digital technology, I am recommending that we eliminate the Electronic
Communications Specialist position and replace it with a reclassified Digital Communications
Specialist. This change of title better reflects current standards in the industry and will help us
target the appropriate pool of candidates to fill our needs. This change of responsibilities will
allow us to move beyond the boundaries of a website- focused position and take a more broad -
based approach to our communications efforts through expanded use of technology and social
media tools. This position would support staff with newer alternatives for communicating with
our citizens, and help develop new opportunities for engaging with and seeking feedback from
our residents.
History /Background:
The City's website was developed several years ago by the City's Web Developer and
maintained internally within the Information Technology Services division of the Finance
Department. Last July, the responsibilities of the website were transferred to the
Communications Office, which is overseen by the City Manager's Office, and all web - related
functions continued to be carried out by the Electronic Communications Specialist.
With the growing importance of online communication tools and the effectiveness of the web in
providing citizens with quick information and interactive options, it is necessary to refocus our
efforts on a more user - friendly and efficient website that can be easily maintained by City staff
within their own departments and provide citizens with quick access and answers to their
January 3, 2013
Page 2
questions. With this goal in mind, we intend to seek private services for our web redesign and
content management system, thus the level of technological expertise required by our previous
Electronic Communications Specialist (former Web Developer) will no longer be needed;
however, a Digital Communications Specialist would fill this role more effectively and help
expand the use of other digital communication tools.
Discussion of Solutions:
As technology grows, large segments of our population are utilizing new digital communications
tools to access information, and the technology is constantly changing. The job vacancy in our
office creates an advantageous time to determine our future needs, and to take steps to
broaden the City's communication efforts and make greater use of digital media opportunities
that are available: social media, mobile device applications, crowd sourcing software, and more.
The addition of a Digital Communications Specialist to the Communications Office will help
move us forward in terms of improving our communications, customer service, and outreach
with citizens of all ages and technological abilities, and will be a key figure in helping us plan our
communications strategies so that all segments of our population are served.
Financial Impact:
The recommended replacement of the Electronic Communications Specialist with a Digital
Communications Specialist will have some financial impact on the organization. The position
change will not result in a cut in total employment levels, but will eliminate one position and
create a new one, which will be introduced at a lower pay grade. The current Electronic
Communications Specialist paygrade is level 27, with a $50,814.40 to $75,982.40 salary range.
We are requesting lowering the paygrade to level 24, with a salary range from $40,060.80 to
$58,073.60.
Recommendation:
Effective immediately, I am recommending the elimination of the Electronic Communications
Specialist position of the Communications Office. Also to be effective immediately, I am
recommending that the position of Electronic Communications Specialist be replaced with the
Digital Communications Specialist position.

DATE: December 27, 2012
TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Ron Knoche, City Engineer
re: Landfill FY09 Cell Reconstruction Project
January 8, January 22 and February 19.
Introduction:
The City of Iowa City owns and operates the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center.
During the summer of 2012 a fire destroyed almost 2/3 of the recently opened FY09
landfill cell. The Landfill FY09 Cell Reconstruction Project is the final step to re -open the
area damaged by the fire.
History/Background:
The fire damage was assessed to understand the extent of the damages so repairs
could be made. The entire cell area was damaged, but the majority of the damages
occurred in the leachate collection trench along the west edge of the FY09 cell. The
damaged area was cleaned up so reconstruction could begin in 2013.
Discussion of Solution:
The FY09 Cell Reconstruction Project has been designed and is ready to be
constructed. Tire derived aggregate (TDA) is still a part of the leachate collection
system, but fire risk is controlled by using a thinner layer of TDA that will include stone
aggregate separation lanes. In addition, the TDA will not be left exposed. It will be
covered by the first layer of refuse as a part of the construction project. The refuse
used for cover will have been stored on site to assure it does not include any hot
materials.
Financial Impact:
The total estimated cost of construction is $1,670,000. Funding will be provided by
landfill revenues.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends proceeding with the project at the next city council meetings.
