Retaining Wall Replacement Project
July 30, 2024
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum is to provide information to the City Council recommending the award of
the public improvement construction contract for the Jefferson Park Retaining Wall
Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND
WHKS prepared 100% plans and specifications for this project. The project was released
for bidding on July 2, 2024.
DISCUSSION
This project involves the reconstruction of the existing retaining wall at Jefferson Park.
Additionally, the project includes 92 SY of PCC concrete sidewalk and 69 feet of concrete
steps. The project has two alternates. Alternate 1 was for a plain faced PCC concrete
retaining wall. Alternate 2 was for a PCC concrete retaining wall that has a textured face
using a form liner. The pattern of the face is to simulate large limestone block a minimum
12 inches high.
BID RESULTS
The City received sealed bids on July 18th, 2024 for the Jefferson Park Retaining Wall
Replacement Project. Eastern Iowa Excavating and Concrete, LLC submitted the low base
bid in the amount of $201,331.40. The project was bid with two alternates and alternate 1
has been chosen in the recommended contract award amount. Alternate 1 is for a plain
faced PCC concrete retaining wall. This option will allow painting of the wall after full
concrete curing in the future if an art project is desired. WHKS recommends Eastern Iowa
Excavating and Concrete, LLC as the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder.
