Presentations. Um Eric, are we going to do any 17 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,320 discussions about the bridge stuff or or no? 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,880 » Yeah, we certainly can do a quick uh overview on that. I know there 19 00:00:53,720 --> 00:01:02,040 were several questions uh around some of the construction that's happening uh 20 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:07,560 north of Hy-Vee on the west side of 251, and um coming south of Progress 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,120 Boulevard, south of uh Wenzel Road in the field just north of 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:16,880 Liberty Village. That is all a part of the city's ITEP 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:21,560 project and pedestrian bridge. Um ultimately 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:26,760 uh the shared use path will connect uh near the Polaris Crossing subdivision, 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:31,280 where that path goes into Baker Lake, and then connect into the path that the 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:36,120 city constructed few years back on North Peoria Street. 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:40,360 Um at this time, the only plan going south of Wenzel Road is to construct the 28 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:44,040 shared use path. We aren't currently extending Becker Drive north to Wenzel 29 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:49,200 Road. Um if and when that project uh comes to 30 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,720 light, we'll certainly uh talk about that at committee meetings and council 31 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:59,920 meetings, but as it stands now, Becker Drive is not being extended north. 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:04,440 On the west side of 251, however, we do have an agreement to construct a 33 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:10,440 new road between Plaza Drive and North Peoria Street. Um, it's likely that that 34 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,080 construction may start next summer. Um, if it's not next summer in 2027, it 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,080 will certainly be under construction in 2028. 36 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:23,760 Um, nonetheless, all the construction activity that you see currently is 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:29,680 related to the ITEP shared use path. Um, that project will continue on into next 38 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:35,240 spring and probably early summer before the bridge is set and I'd expect summer 39 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:40,120 to late summer completion for that project. Um, we shared 40 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,959 or should say reshared um, a a map that we've presented on 41 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,640 several occasions over past several years when we've been talking about 42 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,959 ITEP. Uh, that was shared by the clerk's office, I believe, on the city website 43 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,760 and it's also on the city's Facebook page. Uh, 44 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:59,600 and it shows the in red on that map shows the project location for the 45 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:05,360 shared use path that's currently under construction. 46 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:10,600 Um, highlights on that project. Uh, it's a little over a $4 million project. $3 47 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:15,600 million of that construction cost is coming from a state ITEP grant. 48 00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:18,600 Um, and then um, 49 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,280 that's about it. I don't know if there's anything else you want me to cover, 50 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:26,519 Mayor, on it in particular. >> IDOT is very Oh, sorry. 51 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,320 » Um, IDOT is pretty ecstatic that that sidewalks going to connect down to them. 52 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,519 » Correct. >> And they were like, cuz they had to they 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,720 had to move some things and stuff and they're like, what's going on? And I 54 00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:38,320 said, I Well, I think it's going to connect that they'd better access to 55 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,480 IDOT, which is great. >> Yeah, one of the things, uh, as part of 56 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,720 the grant, you know, is connectivity to essential services. So, 57 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:54,640 you know, grocery, retail type uses, uh, hospital, health care uses, parks, 58 00:03:50,600 --> 00:04:00,040 education. So, now a lot of those uses are connected to the path either through 59 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:04,760 city sidewalks or the path itself. So, that's why we scored fairly high or 60 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:09,240 very high to receive the maximum grant funding for the project. 61 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,080 » I see they got the they got pillars going in and stuff. Are they still going 62 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,680 to be like actually doing that this fall or you're 63 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,720 » Yeah, construction will continue as long as we can through the season. 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,919 Um the piers for the bridge itself will be 65 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:30,240 constructed. The bridge is a prefabricated bridge, a a steel bridge 66 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:34,080 structure. Um that won't arrive until late spring early summer of next year 67 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,640 then and then it will be set on those piers 68 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,080 once it's arrived. >> And I've had some questions and I we've 69 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:45,320 just got discussed it earlier about uh the people at Three Diamond was curious 70 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,919 about getting a sidewalk that connects and you want to explain to that for the 71 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,400 record that we can't do that, right? >> Um so, it's not a part of this project 72 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,360 and it's not that we necessarily can't do it. Uh we wouldn't make a connection 73 00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:03,400 mid block. Um we'd try to avoid specially on a street like Wenzel Road 74 00:05:00,919 --> 00:05:06,760 that's highly traveled. Uh we want any street crossings at controlled 75 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:11,080 intersections. So, whether they're stop signs or stop lights. 76 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:16,080 Um the city could look to um improve the crossing either at 77 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:21,720 Marquette Street or Marquette Road or uh Progress Boulevard and extend some 78 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:26,480 sidewalk along the north side of Wenzel Road to that particular development, but 79 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:31,000 we would not do a mid block to uh crossing there. It's too dan- too 80 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,280 dangerous. >> Anybody else got any questions or 81 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,560 thoughts or They're moving along pretty quick, I 82 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,000 think. >> Yeah, progress. I know that we've been 83 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:45,000 waiting a while to get started, but now that we're started things are moving 84 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,840 along well. >> Okay. Thank you. 85 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Uh we can move on to minutes financial reports activity reports. 86 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,280 Can I get a motion to put the regular meeting minutes of August 24th, 2026 on 87 00:05:54,840 --> 00:06:00,560 file? >> So moved, your honor. 88 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,640 » Second. >> Any discussion?

Anybody on this or 131 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,360 this is kind of a standard thing, right? Eric. 132 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:42,880 » Eric. >> Yes, that's correct.

Uh likely we'll be 135 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,600 establishing the phase one project and releasing it sometime next year. 136 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:02,880 Um we have uh done extensive work on investigation 137 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:06,800 for lead lines, specifically south of Route 6. We're continuing that 138 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:12,080 investigation work. Uh we met with Jeff and his team and Chamlin.

So, we had originally um 158 00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:23,320 » [clears throat] >> budgeted um $600,000 for this this 159 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:27,840 upgrade. And uh so, as you can see, the price is significantly over. I went out 160 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:36,280 to bids, and we received two bids for this particular job. Um this uh TTS um 161 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:41,320 services had provided the option for us to provide some labor um to actually do 162 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:44,600 the upgrades. So, that was the option that we were looking at because the 163 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,280 other bid, they would not entertain us doing any of the work. And that came in 164 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,000 uh a little over 1.2 million for that particular 165 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:56,280 uh job. So, what I tried to do is to make kind 166 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,400 of an apples-to-apples comparison to make sure we loaded all the labor and 167 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:05,400 all the other charges in there for that purpose. 168 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:12,200 Um but again, so 82,000 of that is um employee labor. Um a portion of that is 169 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:14,680 overtime. Um about um what would it be? 170 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,839 Uh 80 hours of overtime for four employees, so about 320 hours of 171 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:25,800 overtime for that 4-week period. Um I mean, in total. 172 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,480 Um so, 173 00:11:26,839 --> 00:11:34,960 what we also looked at doing was this year we'd also budgeted $350,000 to do 174 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:39,360 the muffler on unit six. Um but without a clear line of sight on how to 175 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:44,360 finance the rest of the unit six project, um I thought it was if you, you 176 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:51,120 know, rack and stack the project so on and so forth, um to reallocate the money 177 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:56,240 from the muffler project um to and combine that with the $600,000 from the 178 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,040 um original budget line item for the 179 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:06,200 controls upgrade um to get this um controls [clears throat] upgrade 180 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:11,360 completed and at the same time leverage it for a significant uh training 181 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,880 opportunity for the maintenance operators portion of the electric 182 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,880 department. 183 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,520 » Okay.

No, it's and that's I 236 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,040 think that's good because we're like I said that's the whole reason we created 237 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,080 that separate line item for it is because now it creates additional 238 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:12,200 transparency into that project as a stand-alone project. 239 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:16,520 » So that's 88850 subtract 600,000 240 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:21,560 and that was the start of creating 88860. 241 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,520 » Okay. >> increased to 940,000. 242 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,080 » Yeah, but we were going to back that down to 875 I think. 243 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,880 » All right, I'll print a new one out. >> Yeah, so I I apologize for that.
