Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
Locust Street Connector
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions provide for the acceptance of the construction contract
for the Locust Street Connector Project.
DISCUSSION
Work has been completed on the project by Portzen Construction, Inc. of
Dubuque, Iowa, in the final contract amount of $66,582.31.
The reconstruction of the Locust Street Connector was a joint venture between
the City and the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the widening of
the Locust Street Connector. This project widened northbound Locust Street to
allow the creation of two right-turn lanes from Locust Street onto the Locust
Street Connector, which would, in turn, connects to Highway 61/151.
This reconstruction provides two-lane continuity from eastbound US 20
continuously to connect with US 61/151. This improves the efficiency of this
connector while at the same time creating better utilization of the outside left-turn
lane for eastbound US 20 traffic, which currently carries little traffic in comparison
to the inside left-turn lane.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and the final
contract be established at $66,582.31.
