City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the North Cascade Road Bridge Construction Project
(Southwest Arterial), as completed by Minnowa Construction, Inc., in the final contract
amount of $1,459,065.01, which is a 3.6% increase ($50,522.51) from the original
contract amount of$1,408,542.50. The primary reason for the additional cost was the
result of a severe storm event that occurred on July 27-28, 2011, which caused the
North Cascade roadway embankment to fail, which was located within the construction
project work area. As a result of the Presidential Disaster Declaration for public
assistance, the City received Emergency Repair funding in the amount of$42,496.40 to
repair the embankment slide
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the North Cascade Road Bridge Construction Project (Southwest
Arterial), Iowa DOT Project No. HDP-2100 (661)--71-31.
BACKGROUND
Following the execution of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City
and the State, the City is continuing as the lead agency for the development and
advancement of the Southwest Arterial project; including the completion of the final
engineering design phase, right-of-way property acquisition, utility relocations, and
archaeological and cultural resource phase III mitigation work.
Additionally, per the conditions outlined in the MOU, the City is responsible for completing
several side road construction projects which include English Mill Road reconstruction,
North Cascade Road reconstruction (completed), and the Military Road reconstruction
projects.
The completed North Cascade Road Bridge Construction Project provided for the
construction of a new bridge which will allow the future Southwest Arterial to cross under
North Cascade Road. The new bridge is a 272 ft. x 44 ft. pre-tensioned, pre-stressed
concrete beam bridge which includes a 10-foot wide paved shoulder that would
accommodate bicycle and pedestrian use. The new bridge also includes architectural
enhancement treatments that include native Dubuque limestone textured piers, pier caps,
abutment walls and barrier rails. The bridge also has architectural piers that extend above
the bridge deck, and provides accommodations for future decorative LED roadway lighting
and decorative bridge railing.
Once the North Cascade Road, English Mill and Military Road projects are completed and
construction of the Southwest Arterial begins, citizens and vehicular traffic using those side
roads will not be impacted while construction work occurs under each of those side roads.
DISCUSSION
The North Cascade Road Bridge Construction Project was completed by Minnowa
Construction, Inc. of Harmony, MN, in the final contract amount of $1,459,065.01, which is
a 3.6% increase from the original contract amount of $1,408,542.50. The cost increase
($50,522.51) is within the contingency amount ($156,000.00) budgeted for this phase of
the Southwest Arterial project.
The primary reason for the additional cost ($42,496.40) was a result of the severe storm
event that occurred on July 27-28, 2011, which caused the North Cascade roadway
embankment to fail which was located within the construction project work area. As a
result of the Presidential Disaster Declaration (DR-4018-IA) for public assistance, the City
received Emergency Repair (ER) funding of the $42,496.40 to repair the embankment
slide. The ER funding is shown below as a funding source.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the public improvements and authorize final
payment of the final contract amount of $1,459,065.01 to Minnowa Construction, Inc. for
the North Cascade Bridge Construction Project (Iowa DOT Project No. HDP-2100 (661)--
71-31).
