Summary
Council accepted completed projects for East Locust bridge ($970,085.55), Veterans Memorial Parkway Trail extension ($709,783.40), and Main Street resurfacing ($530,568.73), and announced awards for the Eastern Avenue bridge replacement ($3,034,897.22) and Brady/12th signal ($149,008.10); items were moved to the consent agenda with no public opposition at the committee meeting.
At the Committee of the Whole on Feb. 4, Alderman Rick Dunn presented multiple public‑works resolutions accepting completed projects and awarding contracts, and the council advanced those items to the consent agenda.
Dunn read three resolutions accepting work completed under 2024 programs: East Locust Street bridge rehabilitation over the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway by Kramer and Associates, Inc., for $970,085.55; the Veterans Memorial Parkway Trail extension by Eastern Iowa Excavating and Concrete LLC for $709,783.40; and the Main Street resurfacing project (Palmer Drive to Locust Street) by Hawkeye Paving Corporation for $530,568.73. He said no members of the public wished to address those items and they were moved forward.
Dunn also announced awards of contracts: the Eastern Avenue bridge (Bridge over Duck Creek) replacement was recommended to Jim Schroeder Construction Inc. of Bellevue, Iowa, for $3,034,897.22, “subject to the Iowa Department of Transportation concurrence,” and the Brady Street and 12th Street traffic signal installation to Davenport Electric Company of Davenport for $149,008.10, also subject to Iowa DOT concurrence.
Several plan specifications and estimated cost items for CY2026 programs were read into the record (pedestrian curb ramp retrofit, milling program, Glasgow Street rehabilitation, Jevons Avenue reconstruction, West 15th Street mill/overlay) and the council advanced those items without public comment. Dunn also introduced adoption of the Iowa Statewide Urban Design Standards and supplemental city specification manuals.
Alderman Vasquez moved that all public works items advance to the consent agenda; the motion carried by voice vote and the items will proceed as part of the consent docket for full council consideration.
No substantive debate or public opposition on these projects was recorded at the committee meeting. Several awards were noted as contingent on Iowa DOT concurrence.
