SUBJECT: Water& Resource Recovery Center Wild Flower Planting Project— City
Council Acceptance of Project
(CIP 7101837)
DATE: January 9, 2015
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to officially record in the minutes of the City Council
the completion and acceptance of the Water& Resource Recovery Wild Flower Planting
Project.
BACKGROUND
The project provided for the planting of wildflowers around the Water & Resource
Recovery Center. Due to schedule delays related to wind and flood damage happening
during the main plant project, it was agreed by all parties that it was best to remove this
work from the Miron general contract and bid the work separately.
DISCUSSION
On March 5, 2014 the City of Dubuque received competitive quotations for the Water&
Resource Recovery Center Wild Flower Planting Project. The project was publicly
advertised and bid, however only one bid was submitted in the following amount:
Nauman Nursery, Inc. $12,924.00
In accordance with Iowa Code § 384.103 and § 364.12(3)(c), and Iowa Code, Section
26.14, through the informal bid process for public improvements, this project was
awarded on March 5, 2014 to Nauman Nursery, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa, in the amount of
$12,924.00.
The Water& Resource Recovery Center Wild Flower Planting Project was completed
by Nauman Nursery, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa in the final contract amount of$25,911 .00.
The project cost increase is due to a change order that was issued for the installation of
drain tile in three areas of the project site. Poorly draining subsoils were causing surface
water to pond for extended periods of time. The standing water would then cause the
established grass seed in the area to die.
BUDGETIMPACT
The project was funded from the Water Resource Recovery CIP 7101837. The cost
summary for the Water& Resource Recovery Center Wild Flower Planting Project is:
Award Final
Construction Contract $12,924.00 $25,911.00
REQUESTED ACTION
I respectfully request in accordance with the above codes the Water & Resource
Recovery Center Wild Flower Planting Project costs be accepted by the City Council.
