RE: Kerper Court and Kerper Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project
(PROJECT 5521000047)
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the Kerper Court and Kerper Boulevard Intersection
Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND
The Kerper Court and Kerper Boulevard intersection was a T intersection with Kerper
Court as a STOP controlled intersection. The businesses on Kerper Court are Anderson
Window & Door, Municipal Services Center, Bard Concrete and Lamar Sign. Kwik Trip
has purchased the property on the south side of Kerper Court at Kerper Boulevard. They
are currently building a gas/convenience store at this location.
As part of the conceptual site plan review process with the City Development Review
Team, a traffic impact study (TIS) was required. The developer hired Kimberly Horn to
complete the TIS. The City met with Kimberly Horn to discuss the study and Kimberly
Horn submitted a TIS to the City for review.
The results of the TIS show that traffic safety improvements will be required immediately
after development of the gas/convenience store at the intersection of Kerper Court and
Kerper Boulevard. The TIS recommended that a traffic signal or roundabout be installed
at the intersection to provide an acceptable level of service.
DISCUSSION
The Kerper Court and Kerper Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project was
completed by Eastern Iowa Excavating and Concrete, LLC. in the final contract amount
of $1,052,761.98 which is a 0.7% decrease from the original contract amount of
$1,061,072.28.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the Public Improvements and authorized the
payment of $1,052,761.98 to Eastern Iowa Excavating & Concrete, LLC for the Kerper
Court and Kerper Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project.
