RE: Iowa City Gateway Project
Construction Phase Geotechnical and Materials Testing and Special
Inspection Services
Introduction:
Staff has solicited proposals from consultants to provide Construction Phase Geotechnical and
Materials Testing and Special Inspection Services for the Iowa City Gateway Project.
History/Background:
This project includes the elevation of Dubuque Street, the reconstruction of the Park Road
Bridge over the Iowa River and the expansion of Park Road from two to three lanes from the
Iowa River to Riverside Drive. The project has been designed as a multi -modal corridor to
include roadway, intersection and utility improvements (water, storm and private), new sidewalk
and trails, and a trunk sanitary sewer. This project is included in the capital program, has been
successfully let through the Iowa Department of Transportation and a contract has been
awarded by Iowa City to Peterson Contractors, Inc. Construction began on May 31, 2016.
Discussion:
The City, as the Contract Administrator for the project, requires the services of a consultant to
provide construction phase Geotechnical and Materials Inspection Services for soils, concrete
and structural elements as required by the Iowa Department of Transportation for verification
and oversight. While our staff can provide some of the testing services, there are many
specialty services required that are beyond the expertise of City staff or requires a testing
laboratory. Additionally, a consultant provides additional feet on the ground for a project of this
size with the possibility of multiple concrete pours or other tasks being done at the same time.
Three consultants submitted proposals for the requested services. Based on qualifications,
estimated fee and the understanding of the project scope, Braun Intertec was selected.
Financial Impact:
The services will be invoiced by task/activity and done on an hourly basis with a not to exceed
fee of $249,250.00.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending that the City approve the agreement with Braun Intertec for Construction
Phase Geotechnical and Material Testing and Inspection Services for the Iowa City Gateway
Project.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 14, 2016
To: Mr. Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Captain Troy Kelsay, Acting Chief of Police
Re: 2016 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant Notification
Introduction
The Iowa City Police Department in partnership with the Johnson County Sheriffs Office is making
application for the 2016 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant administered by the Bureau of Justice
Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice.
History/Background
The Departments were notified that they are eligible to apply for $28,453.00. It has been agreed that
the Iowa City Police Department will take responsibility for application and management of this grant.
In return, Iowa City will receive 52% of the funds ($14,795.65) and Johnson County will receive 48%
($13,657.44). This is similar to past years that the grant has been awarded.
Discussion of Solutions
The Iowa City Police Department would like to allocate the $14,795.65 towards the purchase of a
speed/message display trailer. In the past the Iowa City Police Department had two speed display
trailers that were deployed on a regular basis. Currently the Iowa City Police Department has no
operable speed/message display trailers. The City Council approved the purchase of one
speed/message display trailer in FY17 for the Iowa City Police Department. If the Department is
awarded this grant the Iowa City Police Department would again be able to deploy two speed/message
display trailers. Objectives for the utilization of speed/message display trailers are to reduce the speed
of vehicles traveling through work, school and residential zones, encourage speed limit compliance,
increase safety and disseminate travel or other useful information to community motorists.
Financial Impact
There are no matching funds needed to qualify for this grant.
Recommendation
In accordance with the Justice Assistance Grant application, the application will be on file for review no
less than 30 days. This memo serves to notify the City Manager and City Council of the opportunity to
review the application of these funds and provide an opportunity for public comment. The
recommendation is to apply for this grant.

To: Dennis Bockenstedt, Finance Director
From: Mary Niichel-Hegwood, Purchasing Agent
Re: Contract Renewal for Body Work and Repair Services
Background
In May of 2012, a Request for Proposal for Body Work and Repair Services was issued for the
City's Equipment Division. After receiving five proposals and a thorough evaluation process, the
City awarded the contract to Premier Automotive.
Financial Impact
The original contract term for the Body Work and Repair Services contract was for one year with
the option to renew for four additional one-year periods. With the contract approaching its final
year for renewal, the City's Equipment Division and Premier Automotive are requesting to
exercise the option to renewal for one more year.
Based on previous history for body work and repairs services, the Equipment Division expects to
expend approximately $70,000 in the final year of the contract, making the total cost of the
contract approximately $230,000. The funds for this contract are available in the Equipment
Division's operating budget, under the General Fleet Maintenance -Vehicle Repairs line item,
81710510-441050.
Recommendation
The Equipment Division recommends renewing the Body Work and Repair Services contract
with Premier Automotive for the final year of the contract. Renewal of the contract will extend
the contract term to July 12, 2017.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 19, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin; Interim City Manager
Doug Boothroy; Director, Neighborhood and Development Services
From: Kent Ralston; Transportation Planner
Re: Summit Street / Kirkwood Avenue intersection stop control
Introduction: Staff has received numerous requests to improve safety and traffic operations at
the Summit Street / Kirkwood Avenue intersection in recent years. Concerns raised include poor
visibility for southbound motorists, lack of adequate gaps in traffic to safely negotiate the
intersection for both motorists and pedestrians, and high traffic speeds. Most recently, a number
of concerns were received in response to an accident where a pedestrian crossing Kirkwood
Avenue was struck by a vehicle.
History/Background: In 1993, the City Council adopted a resolution to eliminate the then -
existing all -way stop control at the Summit/Kirkwood intersection and established an all -way
stop at the Kirkwood/Dodge intersection two blocks to the west. The resolution establishing
these changes notes that the impetus was to discourage traffic on Summit Street and
encourage traffic on Dodge Street. We now know that the removal of the all -way stop had
unintended consequences for intersection safety — particularly for bicycles and pedestrians.
Discussion of Solutions: In the last several years, additional pavement markings and
pedestrian warning signage have been installed at the Kirkwood/Summit intersection. Staff has
also worked with the property owner at the northeast corner of the intersection to minimize
vegetation and improve sight distance for southbound motorists. An evaluation was also
conducted to determine whether a pedestrian refuge island could be constructed on Kirkwood
Avenue. Staff concluded that a pedestrian refuge island would be difficult and costly to install
due to the location of storm water intakes on Kirkwood Avenue. It was also determined that
since the refuge island would not alleviate visibility constraints for southbound motorists, that
other options should be explored.
Subsequently, an all -way stop analysis at the intersection was performed which verified that
reestablishing the all -way stop at the Summit/Kirkwood intersection is warranted. Implementing
the all -way stop will create gaps in traffic for bicycles and pedestrians to cross Kirkwood Avenue
and provide a safer environment for southbound motorists to negotiate left -turns.
To gauge public sentiment regarding the proposal to reestablish the all -way stop, staff
developed an FAQ sheet (attached) and provided the information to the surrounding
neighborhoods via neighborhood Facebook pages as well as the Nextdoor neighborhood
communication tool. A majority of responses to the proposal were generally positive.
Financial Impact: Costs to install signage at this location are anticipated be less than $500.
Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve the attached Resolution which will
rescind Resolution No. 93-90. This action will allow the City Council to consider approval of the
installation of stop signs for east and westbound motorists at the Kirkwood/Summit intersection.
�.rt,
Department of Neighborhood and Development services
Cin Of 101Vn CGry
With this FAQ staff has tried to anticipate the most commonly asked questions with regards to the proposed
all -way stop control at the Kirkwood and Summit Intersection. If you have any questions about the proposed
changes to this intersection, please contact Transportation Planning at 356-5253.
Q: What is the proposed change for this intersection?
A. South Summit Street and Kirkwood Avenue is a 3 -way, orT-, intersection. At this time, only southbound vehicles on Summit have a
stop sign; east and westbound vehicles on Kirkwood proceed through the intersection without havingto stop. The proposed
change will convert the intersection to an all -way stop. All vehicles approaching the intersection will be required to stop
before proceeding through the intersection. With this change, the intersection will be consistentwith existing all -way stops at the
intersections at Keokuk and Kirkwood and at Dodge and Kirkwood. Turning lanes on both Kirkwood and Summit will be retained.
Q. Why is this change being implemented?
A. Over the past two decades, the City has received numerous complaints related to traffic speeds and safety at this intersection from
motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. This has led to several evaluations of the intersection's traffic control.
The most common concerns are related to vehicle speeds along Kirkwood, a lack of adequate gaps between vehicles travelling on
Kirkwood, andpght distance issues for vehicles turning left onto Kirkwood from Summit Street.
A combination of vehicle speeds and inadequate gaps have caused safety concerns and delays for pedestrians trying to cross Kirk-
wood Avenue. Bicyclists have also identified this intefsecdon as a difficult crossing.
Q: How will this impact vehicles and pedestrians at the intersection?
A. Installing an all -way stop control at the intersection will help distribute delay more evenly on both streets. The all -way stop control
will create the necessary gaps in traffic for north and southbound pedestrian crossings and will also provide southbound motorists
with more adequate opportunity to negotiate left -turning movements.
Q: What other alternatives did the City consider?
A. In addition to all-waystop control, the City considered installing pedestrian refuge island. Such an island would allow pedestrians
to make a two-stage crossing, negotiating one direction of traffic at a time. However, this alternative would not address issues of
visibility and lack of gaps for vehicles turning left off of Summit onto Kirkwood.
Q: When will the stop signs be installed?
A. The all -way stop will be installed this Spring (2016), pending City Council approval.
Existing stop sign for southbound
traffic on Summit St Is retained.
traffic on Kirkwood Ave. All vehicles must stop before
continuing through the intersection.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 16, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Steven J. Rackis, Housing Administrator
Re: Renewal of the 28E Agreement between the Iowa Department of Inspections and
Appeals (DIA) and the City of Iowa City.
Introduction:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is under a Presidential mandate to reduce
income and rent errors in its rental housing assistance programs. The Improper Payments Information Act
of 2002 (Public Law No: 107-300) further requires the annual measurement and reporting of erroneous
federal payments.
Background:
When participants in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Public Housing programs do not report
income and cause an overpayment of rental subsidy, HUD allows the Housing Authority to terminate
assistance (HCV only), begin eviction proceedings (Public Housing only), enter into repayment
agreements for the overpaid subsidy, pursue litigation to recover excess subsidies, or place the debt in the
State of Iowa Income Offset program. HUD allows the Housing Authority to retain recovered excess
subsidies. However, if the Housing Authority takes no action to recover excess subsidies, HUD requires the
Housing Authority to return to HUD all amounts that constitute an overpayment of subsidy.
Discussion of Solution:
The DLA conducts fraud investigations for the Department of Human Services and other State of Iowa
Agencies. If the DIA determines, in the course of their investigation, that parties being investigated are
receiving Housing Assistance from State of Iowa Housing Authorities, the Housing Authority is added to
the investigation and the initiating State Agency pays for the investigation.
The Iowa City Housing Authority conducts the majority of investigations involving non -reporting of
income. However, the scope and complexity of some investigations involving non -reporting of income are
beyond the Housing Authority's investigative powers and resources. As a result, the Iowa City Housing
Authority entered into a 28E Agreement with the DIA on November 17, 2006. This 28E Agreement
authorizes the DIA to conduct HCV/Public Housing investigations initiated by the Iowa City Housing
Authority. The existing 28E Agreement has expired and requires renewal. The terms of the 28E Agreement
remain the same, with the exception that the hourly rate increased from $52.50/bour to $68.25/hour.
The Iowa City Housing Authority participates in investigations conducted by the DIA approximately 3-5
times per year. The vast majority of these investigations are initiated by a State of Iowa Agency. A review
of City of Iowa City and State of Iowa financial records from Fiscal Year 2011 — present show the Iowa
City Housing Authority has not been billed for any investigations.
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to sign the 28E Agreement between the DLA and the City of Iowa City.
