INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
Wilbur Street Reconstruction Project
BACKGROUND
The existing retaining wall at 610 Wilbur Street was removed in August of 2013 for
safety reasons. By performing this work one-half of the existing roadway had to be
removed and traffic was not allowed through the corridor.
For over a year the roadway has been closed to traffic. Residents in the area had a
concern about the length of time the roadway has been closed. The City addressed
their concerns by reconstructing Wilbur Street at 610 Wilbur Street.
The project was awarded based on a competitive quotation process for public
improvements in accordance with Iowa Code, Section 26.14.
DISCUSSION
The Wilbur Street Reconstruction Project was completed by Key City Excavating, Inc. of
Dubuque, Iowa in the final contract amount of $7,850.78, which is a 21.4% decrease
from the original contract amount of $9,992.15.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the payment
of the contract amount of $7,850.78 to Key City Excavating for the Wilbur Street
Reconstruction Project.
