City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for Bid Package 2, 15 South Main Street Site Utility Disconnect
Project, as completed by McDermott Excavating, in the final contract amount of
$39,903.11, which is a $3,147.56 increase from the original contract amount of

conditions.

INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the Bid Package 2, 15 South Main Street Site Utility Disconnect
Project.
BACKGROUND
In 2012, the lowa DOT purchased a portion of the former SELCO building located at 15
South Main Street for the purpose of preserving right-of-way property for the future
construction of the US Highway 20 - Mississippi River bridge crossing. Per the terms of
the purchase agreement, the seller could continue to use the portion of the state's
purchased property. In 2017, the seller sold the remainder of the property Spahn &
Rose for building material outdoor storage. The former 11,000 sq. ft. steel building
structure was vacant and needed to be deconstructed, salvaged, and removed.
The lowa DOT approached the City and requested assistance in the deconstruction of
the 15 South Main Street property. The lowa DOT has agreed to reimburse the City for
actual cost to deconstruct the onsite steel building and the disconnection of the public
utilities from the property. The deconstruction project was completed in two phases, Bid
Package 1 included the deconstruction of the building structure which is completed. Bid
Package 2 included the utility disconnects and is also now completed.
DISCUSSION
The 15 South Main Street Site Utility Disconnect Project was completed by McDermott
Excavating of Dubuque, lowa, in the final contract amount of $39,903.11, which is a
$3,147.56 increase from the original contract amount of 36,755.55. The additional cost
was a result of an increased quantity of street excavation backfill material required due
to saturated soils from elevated ground water conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the public improvements and authorize the
payment of the contract amount of $39,903.11 to McDermott Excavating of Dubuque,
lowa, for the 15 South Main Street Site Utility Disconnect Project.
