“D” Liquor License
Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Background
Section 4-2 of the Grand Island City Code declares the intent of the City Council
regarding liquor licenses and the sale of alcohol.
Declared Legislative Intent
It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting
and administering the provisions of this chapter:
(A)To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic
liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public
health, safety, and welfare;
(B)To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and
careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and
(C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are

Discussion
La Mexicana, Inc. dba La Mexicana Market, 385 North Pine Street has submitted an
application for a Class “D” Liquor License. A Class “D” Liquor License allows for the
sale of beer off sale only inside the corporate limits of the city.
City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk,
Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 5 / 171
Also submitted with the application was a request from Veronica Alvarez, 609 S. Stuhr
Road for a Liquor Manager Designation.
This application was to be presented to the City Council at their April 12, 2016 meeting
but was pulled at the request of the applicant. Since then an amended application has
been submitted disclosing convictions that were left out of the original application.
After reviewing the Police Department report and attached information regarding the
previous application for Rafa’s Tacos, it is recommended that the Council deny this
request based upon: 53-132 (2 a, b, & c) – Retail, craft brewery, or microdistillery
license, contents; criminal history record check, verification, false statement; penalty.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the application.
2.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no
recommendation.
3.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations.
4.Deny the application.
Recommendation
Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor
Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council deny this application.
Sample Motion
Move to deny the application for La Mexicana, Inc. dba La Mexicana Market, 385 North
Pine Street for a Class “D” Liquor License due to the Police Departments report based
upon: 53-132 (2 a, b, & c) – Retail, craft brewery, or microdistillery license, contents;
criminal history record check, verification, false statement; penalty.

Reporting Officer: Vitera
Unit- CID
La Mexicana Market is applying for a Class D (beer, wine, distilled
spirits, off sale only) Corporate Retail Liquor license. Adolfo Flores is
the sole owner of the corporation. Veronica Alvarez is applying to be the
liquor manager. While perusing the application, I noticed that Adolfo and
Veronica did not disclose any criminal convictions, Monica Flores is
listed as someone who can write checks and make withdrawals on the
business account, and Adolfo has had a liquor license in the past at
Rafa's Tacos, and La Mexicana. The application also states that Adolfo
has lived in Grand Island since at least 2005. Veronica has lived in
Grand Island since 2010. No information is listed under spousal
information for either applicant. Veronica stated that she worked for
Adolfo at Rafa's Tacos from 2011 through 2013. Since 2013, she has worked
for Adolfo at La Mexicana.
One of the first things I discovered while creating a report to document
this investigation, is that Veronica Alvarez has an alias listed in
Spillman as Maria Ocegueda. When I looked at Maria Ocegueda's
Involvements in Spillman, I found that she is listed as the liquor
manager for Rafa's Taco's in an investigation I had done in 2011. I
compared the identifying information for Maria Ocegueda and Veronica
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 8 / 171
Alvarez and found that they each have the same date of birth, Social
Security number, and driver's license number. I did some more digging and
found some documents in NCJIS showing that Maria Ocegueda was granted a
name change to Veronica Alvarez by a Hall County District Court judge in
September 2012.
I recall that during the Rafa's investigation, Adolfo told me that he was
engaged to be married to "Maria." At the time of the Rafa's
investigation, I would imagine that Adolfo knew that "Maria" was really
Veronica. If for some reason he didn't know in 2011, he had to have known
in 2012 when the name change occurred; and she was still working for him
at Rafa's Tacos. I didn't find that there was any effort on Adolfo's part
to rectify the situation by explaining it to the NLCC and filling out
paperwork for a new liquor manager. Adolfo never contacted me either. The
Nebraska Liquor Control Commission's Rules and Regulations under 009.01
says that a corporation has sixty days to notify the NLCC of a manager
change.
Before doing a lot of checks on Adolfo and Veronica, I read my
investigation into Rafa's Tacos from 2011. I noted in that report that
Adolfo didn't disclose any convictions, and I found twelve traffic
convictions and a conviction for selling alcohol to a minor. I told
Adolfo at the time that he needed to include everything including his
traffic convictions. I also found where Adolfo didn't disclose on the
2011 application that he had past liquor licenses at La Mexicana Market
in Grand Island and La Mexicana restaurants in Gibbon and Lexington.
Adolfo said he had problems with selling to minors at the market, that's
why he didn't renew the license or seek anymore until Rafa's. My 2011
Rafa's investigation also said that I called ICE and was told that Adolfo
and "Maria" were each Naturalized U.S. Citizens.
I called the NLCC on 3/22/16 and left a message for Randy Seybert in
Licensing. I asked Randy to call me back, so I can ask him to find
information on Adolfo Flores' past liquor licenses. Later that afternoon,
I received an e-mail from Randy saying that their deleted history files
only go back ten years, and he was unable to find anything. I also asked
Randy if they would have hard copies of the records. He advised that they
used to keep those records on microfilm, but they don't have that anymore
either.
I contacted the Buffalo County Sheriff's Office and the Lexington Police
Department to see if either agency had any record of the La Mexicana
restaurant or any of the applicants. Lexington has a new computer system,
and I was told that their records probably wouldn't go back the fifteen
plus years I wanted them to search. They went ahead and searched all the
names and didn't come up with anything. Buffalo County later faxed me a
report which included Adolfo being warned by a deputy twice in the same
day in 1995 for selling food out of his vehicle. They also sent a report
from 2012 where Adolfo was cited for allowing an unlicensed driver to
drive.
For the current investigation into La Mexicana market, I checked Adolfo
and Veronica through Spillman and NCJIS. I just looked at potential
violations/convictions since May of 2011 which is when I did the last
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 9 / 171
investigation (Rafa's Tacos) with them. The Rafa's investigation should
be attached. Spillman shows that Adolfo was issued a citation for
careless driving as a result of a motor vehicle accident in 2012, had a
protection order served against a female in 2013, and had code
enforcement issues in 2014 and 2015 for high weeds and trash. He mowed
the weeds and cleaned up the trash.
After May of 2011, NCJIS shows that Adolfo was convicted of the careless
driving that was listed in Spillman from 2012, convicted of the charge in
the citation issued by the Buffalo County Sheriff's Office for allowing
an unlicensed driver to drive in 2012, and Adolfo was convicted of
unlawful acts license/drive in Merrick County in 2014. I'll ask Adolfo
about that one. Maria/Veronica doesn't show any potential violations in
Spillman. NCJIS just shows an entry for her driver's license and the name
change.
I checked Adolfo and Veronica for outstanding arrest warrants and the
status of their driver's license. Neither one of them have any
outstanding arrest warrants, and they each have a valid Nebraska driver's
license. I also checked them through a paid law enforcement-only database
which tends to provide more civil information and personal identifying
information. Adolfo didn't have anything out of the ordinary listed. I
found an entry for Maria Ocegueda. Veronica Alvarez was also listed with
an alias of Maria Ocegueda. Nothing out of the ordinary was associated
with either name.
I set up a meeting with Adolfo and Veronica for 1300 hours on 3/31/16.
Nebraska State Patrol Investigator Joe Hansen also attended the meeting.
I went over the application with Adolfo and Veronica. I asked Adolfo if
his attorney filled out the application. Adolfo said his attorney did
fill out the application, and Adolfo and Veronica were present. I
reminded Adolfo that I spoke to him in 2011 when he applied for a liquor
license for Rafa's Tacos. At that time, Adolfo didn't disclose any
convictions on his application. I told him back then that he needed to
disclose even the most insignificant traffic conviction all the way up to
the most serious crime he has been convicted of.
Adolfo said he didn't remember talking to me in 2011, and he didn't have
an explanation for failing to disclose his convictions on this
application. He added that he wasn't trying to hide anything because he
knew we would find it anyway. Adolfo said he couldn't remember a lot of
things. He couldn't remember how many times he was held responsible for
selling to minors on his prior La Mexicana Market license, but he guessed
it was just one time. He also claimed not to remember if he even had a
liquor license at his Lexington and Gibbon restaurants. Adolfo did
acknowledge being cited for allowing unlicensed drivers to drive on two
separate occasions, once in Buffalo county and once in Merrick County.
Each time he said that he let a friend borrow his pickup.
I asked Adolfo who Monica Flores is since she is listed as someone who
has access to the business bank account. Adolfo said that Monica is his
daughter. She has access to the business account, so she can pay bills
while Adolfo and Veronica are out of town on vacation.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 10 / 171
According to Adolfo's application, he let the Rafa's Tacos liquor license
lapse because he didn't wish to risk further violation. An NLCC
attachment to the application shows that Rafa's liquor license was issued
on 8/18/2011. On 9/28/2012, they were in trouble with the NLCC for
selling to a minor and having a minor dispensing/serving alcohol. They
plead guilty and had their license suspended. On 2/1/2013, there is
another charge of selling to a minor with an eventual guilty plea. The
attachment also acknowledges that the La Mexicana Market had a liquor
license before, but it was also allowed to lapse over ten years ago.
I asked Adolfo about his relationship with Veronica. In 2011, he told me
that they were engaged. He said they are still currently engaged to be
married. Veronica said they sold the house they used to live in on WN
Front Street and now live together at 609 S. Stuhr Road.
I asked Veronica about her name change. Veronica thought she was about
two years old when her parents illegally brought her to the United
States. Veronica said her birth name was Veronica Ocegueda. When she was
applying for amnesty, her mother sent for her Mexican birth certificate.
When they received it, it showed her birth name as Maria Ocegueda.
Veronica's mother tried to get it corrected but was unsuccessful.
Therefore, Veronica received her amnesty and eventually her Naturalized
U.S. Citizenship under the name of Maria Ocegueda.
Veronica said that her father's last name was Ocegueda. Veronica said she
can't remember meeting her father. When she legally changed her name, she
wanted to go back to her birth name of Veronica and also go by her
mother's last name of Alvarez. After speaking with Adolfo and Veronica,
Investigator Hansen and I toured the market before the meeting was over.
In summary, Adolfo Flores applied for a liquor license in Grand Island at
Rafa's Tacos in 2011. He was granted a license which he had for less than
two years. During that time, the NLCC's records show that the business
had two separate incidents where the business plead guilty to selling to
minors. One of the incidents also had a minor selling/dispensing alcohol.
Adolfo's current application has those records attached to it.
During my investigation into the Rafa's application, Adolfo failed to
disclose any of his twelve traffic convictions or his conviction for
selling to a minor. He also failed to list on his application that he had
held prior liquor licenses at the La Mexicana market in Grand Island or
the La Mexicana restaurants he owned in Gibbon and Lexington. When Adolfo
was applying for the liquor license for Rafa's, I asked him why he didn't
already have one for his La Mexicana restaurant in Grand Island. He said
that he had problems in the past with selling alcohol to minors at the La
Mexicana Market.
Fast forward to Adolfo's current application for La Mexicana market,
Adolfo still didn't disclose any of his criminal convictions, and he
still didn't list his prior liquor licenses at the La Mexicana
restaurants in Gibbon and Lexington. In fact, when I asked him about the
history of the restaurant licenses, Adolfo said he couldn't remember if
he even had a liquor license at the restaurants. During the 2011 Rafa's
investigation, Adolfo acknowledged that he had prior liquor licenses at
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 11 / 171
the Gibbon and Lexington restaurant and failed to list that on the
application. As far as I can tell, Adolfo also failed to notify the NLCC
in 2012 when the name of his liquor manager at Rafa's Tacos changed from
Maria Ocegueda to Veronica Alvarez.
With Adolfo's admission of having prior issues with selling alcohol to
minors (which are partially documented), his inability or refusal to
fully disclose his criminal convictions (including a sale to a minor
which I believe automatically precludes him from receiving a license
based upon 53-131.01) and past liquor licenses on the Rafa's application
and this application, and his lack of adhering to the Rules and
Regulations of the Nebraska Liquor Control Act as evidenced by the
examples above, the Grand Island Police Department does not believe that
Adolfo Flores should have a liquor license and recommends that the
Council not give local approval.
The denial is based upon: 010.01- Falsification of Application, 53-132
(2 a, b,& c)- Retail, craft brewery, or microdistillery license;
commission; duties, and 53-131.01 (1 d)- License; application; form;
contents; criminal history record check; verification; false statement;
penalty.
Full copies of 010.01, 53-132, and 53-131.01 are attached to this report
along with Adolfo's past application for Rafa's Tacos, the police report
for Rafa's Tacos, and the NLCC's records for Rafa's Tacos.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:May 10, 2016
Subject:Rezone from CD to Amended CD Zone
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
An application has been made to rezone property described as Lot 6 of Grand Island Mall
18th Subdivision in Grand Island NE, from CD Commercial Development Zone to
Amended CD Commercial Development Zone.
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held May 4, 2016 the
above item was considered following a public hearing.
O’Neill opened the Public Hearing.
Nabity explained an application has been made to change zoning for property
described as Lot 6 of Grand Island Mall 18th Subdivision in Grand Island NE, from
CD Commercial Development Zone to Amended CD Commercial Development
Zone.
The Development Plan for Grand Island Mall 18th Subdivision was approved by the
Grand Island City Council in September of 2015. The Developers are requesting
changes to the plan as approved to accommodate marketing opportunities and
building on Lot 6 of the subdivision along Webb Road.
The proposed change would allow a smaller building oriented east and west
and provide additional parking on site and drive through lanes for the
proposed business. This lot would not have access directly to Webb Road and
the propose driveway would line up with the Burger King driveway as
originally proposed. The CD Zone allows for up to 50% of the property to be
covered with buildings. The proposed coverage within this development at
full development as shown is well below the maximum coverage.
O’Neill closed the Public Hearing.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 43 / 171

Rezone request as presented.

(O’Neill, Ruge, Maurer, Robb, Kjar, Connick, Rainforth, and Monter) and

Item G-9
#2016-110 - Approving Subordination Agreement for Lois Stade,
236 S. Plum Street
Staff Contact: Charley Falmlen
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 115 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Charley Falmlen, Community Development
Meeting:May 10, 2016
Subject:Approving Subordination Agreement for Lois Stade, 236
S. Plum Street
Presenter(s):Charley Falmlen, Community Development
Background
The City of Grand Island has a Deed of Trust filed on property owned by Lois Stade, a
single person, located at 236 S. Plum Street, in the amount of $14,000. In 2013
Community Development Block Grant funds totaling the amount of $14,000 were loaned
to Lois Stade, to assist in her with the down payment as part of the Community
Development Block Grant program. The legal description is:
Lot Four (4), Block Two (2), Koehler Place, an Addition to the City Of Grand
Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
The owner is requesting permission from the City to subordinate to a new mortgage
amount of $57,000.00 and accept second position to the first mortgage. Lois Stade is
seeking to refinance her mortgage and is working through First National Bank. The
lender is requesting first position on the Deed of Trust. The house will remain occupied
and property taxes will continue to be paid. The equity in the property is in excess of the
lien amounts held by both the City and the bank.
Discussion
The City’s current lien is in the amount of $14,000, which has a balance of $10,577.02
due to 10% being forgiven annually. A new lien in the amount of $57,000.00 with First
National Bank would replace the City of Grand Island’s senior lien. By law, the new lien,
with First National Bank, would be junior in priority to the City’s lien; however, First
National Bank, has asked the City to subordinate its lien to the new lien.
The anticipated appraised value of the property is $80,000.00, as of May 2016, and is
sufficient to secure the first mortgage of $57,000.00 and the City’s remaining mortgage
of $10,577.02. The City’s loan is a zero percent interest loan that is due only when the
homeowner sells the house.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 116 / 171
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the Subordination Agreement
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to a later date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approve the Subordination Agreement
with First National Bank, placing the City in the junior position to the new Deed of Trust.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Subordination Agreement with First National Bank.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 117 / 171
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
COMES NOW the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, secured party/beneficiary and hereby
subordinates its trust deed/real estate lien recorded December 21, 2006 on the following
described real estate:
Lot Four (4), Block Two (2), Koehler Place, an Addition to the City Of Grand Island,
Hall County, Nebraska.
It is the intent of this Agreement that the trust deed for amounts loaned by First National
Bank to Lois Stde (Borrower) that has been or is about to be filed, shall be superior to the trust
deed/real estate lien of the City of Grand Island, its successors and assigns recorded December
2, 2013, up to the amount of $57,000 plus interest and amounts advanced to protect the
collateral. Thereafter, the City of Grand Island’s lien shall have priority. It is further understood
that this subordination shall include all current obligations, extensions, renewals, advances or
modifications made by the City of Grand Island, Nebraska to Borrowers which is secured by the
trust deed/real estate lien recorded December 2, 2013 as Document Number 201309408 in the
records of the Register of Deeds of Hall County, Nebraska. Nothing in this Subordination
Agreement is intended as a promise to provide financing or make advances to Borrowers by the
City of Grand Island, Nebraska and it is not the intention of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska
to warrant or guarantee the obligations of Borrowers but merely to subordinate its lien interests
under the instrument recorded at Document Number 201309408. It is understood that First
National Bank intends to lend funds to Borrower/s but that the amount that will be superior to the
City of Grand Island’s lien is not to exceed $57,000 plus interest and amounts advanced to
protect the collateral.
Nothing in this instrument is intended to relieve Borrowers of their obligation to make
payments to the City of Grand Island, Nebraska or to subordinate any other lien interests
including, but not limited to, real estate taxes and special assessments.

Generating Station with Arch Coal Sales, Coal Creek Mine
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 132 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:May 10, 2016
Subject:2017 Coal Purchase
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
On June 12, 2012, per Resolution 2012-143, the City of Grand Island entered into an
agreement with Western Fuels Association for soliciting the purchase of coal for the
Platte Generating Station. The agreement provides for Western Fuels to obtain pricing of
coal for the Platte Generating Station as part of their larger coal solicitations for their
members. Western Fuels recently went out for bids that included the purchase of 150,000
to 400,000 tons of coal that is needed for 2017 for the Platte Generating Station.
Discussion
Bids were evaluated on heat content of the bid coal, total delivered price including freight
cost, and value of the sulfur content of the bid coal:
Heat Content – the heat content of Powder River Basin coals can vary as
much as 15%.
Freight Costs – are included in the evaluation to determine a total
delivered cost at Platte Generating Station.
Sulfur Content – In order to operate a coal fired power plant,
environmental regulation requires a plant to hold “Emissions Allowances”
for regulated sulfur emissions. The allowances are regularly bought and
sold by utilities as economic conditions warrant. EPA administers the
markets. The price of sulfur allowances for use of each bid coal is a factor
in the evaluation. The sulfur content determines the amount of lime that
must be used by plant emission control systems to remove sulfur dioxide
from the boiler exit gas. The cost of the lime is also a factor in the
evaluation.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 133 / 171
Western Fuels has provided the separately attached confidential analysis of the bids
received. The Utilities Department concurs with the Western Fuels Association
recommendation that the 2017 Coal Supply Contract of 150,000 to 400,000 tons be
awarded to the low compliant bidder, Arch Coal Sales, Coal Creek Mine.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Coal Supply Contract for
140,000 to 400,000 tons for 2017 with Arch Coal Sales, Coal Creek Mine.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Coal Supply Contract for 140,000 to 400,000 tons for year 2017
with Arch Coal Sales, Coal Creek Mine.

Articulating Telescopic Aerial Platform for the Electric

Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 136 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:May 10, 2016
Subject:2017 Truck with 41 Ft. Articulating Telescopic Aerial
Platform- Phelps Control (Electric
Transmission/Substation) Division
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Utilities Department Phelps Control Center maintains nine substations around the
City with approximately 150 circuit breakers and 15 large transformers. Overhead
equipment maintenance and repairs in the substations include lighting, security cameras,
switches, breakers, bus sections, and large transformers.
Phelps Control has never owned an aerial lift device for substation work. Work has been
performed off of ladders when possible. Substation Technicians have to climb up and
walk around on top of breakers and transformers. In cases not reached by ladders, a
bucket truck and operating crew has been borrowed from other utility divisions, and in
some cases, a second truck has to be employed to crane lift parts up to the structures.
Whenever a bucket truck is borrowed, the owning crew stays on site and operates the
truck, thus assisting in repairs, but resulting in crew overlap and time taken away from
distribution projects. In some cases a man lift has been rented.
To vastly improve safety and efficiency, this work should be done with a bucket truck
permanently assigned to Phelps Control. The crew can safely be tied off in the bucket and
have intimate knowledge of the control of the bucket truck. The proposed truck has an
integral crane lifting system so parts can be hoisted up to the worker in the bucket. The
truck is a compact unit suited for substation work, has a 41 foot platform height and 30
foot side reach. In addition the truck can be utilized by the Line Department after large
storms.
Discussion
The Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint Powers Alliance

Subject:Approving Award for Consulting Services for Geospatial
Data Collection of Grand Island’s Public Storm Water
Conveyance System - 2016
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for consulting services for Geospatial Data
Collection of Grand Island’s Storm Water System was advertised in the Grand Island
Independent on April 11, 2016. The RFQ was also sent to five (5) consulting firms by the
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
The collection of this geospatial data for the City’s storm water system will assist with
mapping the storm water as required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) stormwater permit. The mapping will also give the City information on
locations and elevations of all stormwater structures. This information will be utilized for
stormwater hydraulic modeling, comprehensive drainage planning, required mapping for
compliance with permit to identify Illicit Detection Discharge Elimination (IDDE) and
stormwater capital improvement planning. This survey will provide an accurate,
electronic, easily-accessible storm sewer map and database from which the staff can
quickly access valuable physical and historical information regarding the storm sewer
system.
Discussion
One (1) submittal was received, opened and reviewed on April 28, 2016.
The estimate for this work was $50,000.00. Funds for the consulting services are in the
approved 2015/2016 budget and paid for using the LB1226 Storm Water Grant Fund
through the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ). This work
supports the City of Grand Island’s Storm Water Management Plan.
The submittal from EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska
was scored as a firm qualified to complete the required work. The agreement will be for
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 141 / 171
surveying approximately 1,515 storm water structures at an average cost of $33.00 each,
for a potential amount up to $50,000.00. Previous surveys have completed 6,441 storm
water structures.

Subject:Approving Agreement with IMS Infrastructure
Management Services for 2016 Pavement Condition
Assessment, Traffic Control Sign Inventory, Pavement
Markings Inventory, and Sidewalk Inventory
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for 2016 Pavement Condition Assessment, Pavement
Management Services, Public Right-of-Way Digital Imagery, Traffic Control Sign
Inventory and Pavement Markings Inventory was advertised in the Grand Island
Independent on March 3, 2016. The RFP was also sent to seven (7) potential proposers
by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
The City is required to assess roadway pavement every three (3) years, at a minimum.
Such assessment is used to determine roadways that become part of the annual
maintenance project, as well as roadways that require more substantial work or rebuild.
This information is also used for the City’s annual audit and for GASB 34 (GASB 34
provides a comprehensive framework for financial reporting with the objective of making
annual reports easier to understand and more useful to the people who rely upon the
financial condition contained therein. The most significant aspect of Statement 34 was
that for the first time general infrastructure assets (such as roads, bridges and dams) were
to be reported together with related depreciation or preservation costs.
Discussion
Five (5) proposals were received on March 22, 2016, with evaluation of each by Public
Work staff based on established criteria in the RFP. The pavement condition assessment
was a requirement of the scope of services, with optional services to develop a five-year
pavement preservation work plan, digital imagery of the public right-of-way, sign
inventory and street pavement marking inventory.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services was selected as the best qualified firm to
perform the requested services. As part of the proposal IMS Infrastructure Management
Services offered optional services they are able to perform to aid the City in establishing
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 153 / 171
walkability projects. An agreement was negotiated for the services to be performed at
actual costs with a maximum amount of $194,365.00, and includes pavement condition
assessment, traffic control sign inventory, pavement markings inventory, and
trails/sidewalk survey & inventory. It is anticipated that all work will be completed
before the end of this fiscal year.

It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation

ANTICIPATED PROJECT SCHEDULE
Currently, IMS has a total capacity to complete 2,500 miles/month based on urban surveys, so
completing Grand Island surveys in a timely fashion is not an issue.
Field surveys are expected to progress at a conservative rate of 25 to 35 miles per day in urban areas
increasing to 75 miles per day in rural environments. Surveys usually proceed at 5.5 to 6 days per week
depending on weather, congestion and statutory holidays. On all projects three rate determining
functions rise to the top as being critical in maintaining the proposed project schedule. In general it is not
the surveys that take the longest time, but rather handling the data that makes project schedules slide.
Three important steps are highlighted below:
The schedule presented below has a total of three weeks float built into the work plan. Should these not
be required, the schedule would advance accordingly. Within the schedule we have provided allowances
for general factors such as weather, maintenance, and client meetings.
PROJECT SCHEDULE:
Elapsed time for the City of Grand Island field surveys is estimated at 3 weeks, depending on weather.

From:Terry Brown PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:May 10, 2016
Subject:Resolution Directing Property Owner to Repair Sidewalk
at 103 West 3rd Street
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On March 29, 2016 Code Enforcement was notified of the sidewalk in disrepair at 103
West 3rd Street. Public Works Administration was contacted by Code Enforcement for an
opinion on the condition of the sidewalk and whether repairs were necessary to make the
area safe for pedestrians. Upon inspection of such sidewalk it was determined by Public
Works Engineering that such sidewalk did require repair and Code Enforcement was
notified of such. Contact was made with the property owner on March 30, 2016 by Code
Enforcement and a copy of City Code Section 32-58 was provided and the violation
explained with 30 days given to correct.
As of April 29, 2016 the necessary repairs were not made, and Public Works
Administration was notified by Code Enforcement to request City Council order
necessary repairs be completed.
Discussion
The Public Works Department is requesting that a resolution be passed giving the
property owner 15 days to obtain the sidewalk permit and 15 days from issuance of such
permit to complete the repairs of the sidewalk at 103 West 3rd Street (Lots 1 & 2, Block
66, Original Town, Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska), as this is a public safety
concern.
If the property owner fails to either obtain the sidewalk permit in the 15 day timeframe or
complete the necessary repairs 15 days after such permit is issued, the City of Grand
Island will take steps to make the necessary repairs with all costs being the responsibility
of the property owner.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/10/2016 Page 168 / 171
