SUBJECT: Trolley Line Trail -Eagle Point Park Project
(CIP 1001989)
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
Trolley Line Trail -Eagle Point Park Project.
BACKGROUND
The Trolley Line Trail, a signed route in the Heritage Trail Riverfront System, is a 1/2
mile long, 10-foot wide paved hike/bike trail. The trail provides a scenic, off-road
alternative following an old trolley route roadbed from Shiras Avenue north of the Ham
House to the turnaround of Eagle Point Park's main entrance road. Interpretive signs
will be incorporated into the trail design. A wayside rest area halfway up the trail has
been rough-graded and paved with recycled brick pavers by a boy scout. The Boy
Scout is also working on mosaic the art work on three pillars installed near the wayside
rest. The art work should be completed later this fall.
The following infrastructure items were also installed to accommodate future upgrades:
light bases and electrical conduit for trail lighting; conduit for emergency call boxes; a
short water extension; and storm sewer improvements.
DISCUSSION
The Trolley Line Trail - Eagle Point Park Project was completed by Portzen
Construction, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa, in the final contract amount of $203,708.91, which
is a 0.7% increase from the original contract in the amount of $202,216.00. This project
had an additional 400 feet of trail installed to make the connection to the Ham House
Parking Lot. Since stabilizing stone did not need to be used for this project, the savings
was used for the cost of the additional trail length. The Boy Scout project with the
wayside rest is essentially complete.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize payment of
the contract amount of $203,708.91 to Portzen Construction, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa, for
the Trolley Line Trail -Eagle Point Park Project.
