Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director

Meeting:January 23, 2018
Subject:Acquisition of Utility Easement – South of Hwy 30 and
West of 4th Road – Greving and Smith
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City
Council. The Utilities Department needs to acquire utility easement relative to the
property of Gregory J. Greving and Elizabeth J. Smith, located through a part of the
Southeast Quarter (SE ¼) Section Twenty Eight (28), Township Twelve (12) North,
Range Eight (8) West of the 6th P.M., Merrick County, Nebraska (just south of Highway
30 and west of 4th Road), in order to have access to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair
power appurtenances, including lines and transformers.
Discussion
Grand Island Utilities Department’s electrical service area extends several miles into
Merrick County. The power lines along the easterly edge are over 50 years old and need
to be rebuilt to current standards for capacity and configuration. At the time of the
original construction, easements were not acquired. This easement will provide access,
installation, operation and maintenance of the power lines in the area.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Make a motion to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4. Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 10 / 161
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the resolution for the
acquisition of the easement for one dollar ($1.00).
Sample Motion
Move to approve acquisition of the Utility Easement.

#2018-13 - Approving Change Order #1 to the Fall 2017 Boiler
Inspection and Repair Contract with Hayes Mechanical
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 42 / 161
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:January 23, 2018
Subject:Fall 2017 Boiler Inspection and Repair-Change Order #1
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Every five years an extended outage is conducted at Platte Generating Station to perform
a major overhaul of the turbine generator. The most recent major overhaul was performed
in the fall of 2017, during which time extensive inspection and maintenance on the main
boiler was also performed.
The Fall 2017 Boiler Inspection and Repair contract was bid with a specified scope of
work that was based primarily on past major outage experiences to provide a basis for
competitive bidding and award. The bidders were also required to provide Time and
Material contract rates for scope adjustments that would be based on actual conditions
found upon inspecting the boiler. The Engineer’s estimate for the contract was
$500,000.00 and bids ranged from $484,090.00 to $725,307.00.
The contract was awarded to the low responsive bidders, Hayes Mechanical of Omaha,
Nebraska for $484,090.00 on June 27, 2017.
Discussion
The boiler contract was based primarily on past outage experiences to provide a basis for
competitive bidding and time and material rates for scope adjustments. Actual conditions
revealed during the inspection of the unit required major modifications and additions to
the scope of work, as follows:
-Inspection of the boiler refractory to develop a repair scope was part of the
base bid, with the subsequent repairs to be performed on a time and
material basis by the refractory subcontractor.
-The Hayes Mechanical’s Insurance Inspector required more extensive
radiographic inspection of new welds made during the repair of boiler
Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 43 / 161
tubing than planned for. This additional radiographic inspection work was
performed by the testing subcontractor on a time and material basis.
These additions and modifications to the work scope resulted in an additional $33,320.00,
for a final contract cost of $517,410.00
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 authorizing Change Order #1 to the Fall 2017 Boiler
Inspection and Repair at Platte Generating Station for an addition to the contract price of
$33,320.00 to Hayes Mechanical of Omaha, Nebraska.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Change Order #1 with Hayes Mechanical in the amount of
$33,320.00 for the Fall 2017 Boiler Inspection and Repair at Platte Generating Station.

Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 60 / 161
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Streets Superintendent
Meeting:January 23, 2018
Subject:Approving Bid Award for Asphalt Hot-Mix 2018
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Asphalt Hot-Mix is used by the Streets Division’s asphalt crew throughout the
construction season to patch potholes and full-depth patch sections of roadways that are
showing signs of failure.
Bidders are given the opportunity to write-in mixes that they know they will be producing
this season. This allows a wider variety of mixes with set prices to be available to the
Streets Division. The purchase of asphalt can then be based on the type of mix best suited
for each patching job.
A primary and secondary bid award is being recommended for each mix type which sets
prices for more than one producer so the optimal material can be purchased in the event
the other producer(s) are not making that mix type or the plant is not running.
Discussion
Bids were advertised on December 16, 2017 and sent to three (3) potential bidders. Two
(2) bids were received and opened on January 11, 2018.

and Engleman Rd / West Park Plaza Sanitary Sewer
Extension
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Sanitary Sewer Project No. 2017-S-3 will plan, design and build an extension of the
sanitary sewer from Stolley Park Road and Freedom Drive intersection west to just
beyond the planned new US Highway 30 west realignment. This extension would be
difficult and costly after the new highway is constructed. Sanitary Sewer District No.
540T will continue west to areas between the existing Highway 30 alignment and the
proposed realignment including the West Park Plaza Mobile Home Park. West Park Plaza
and property along the existing Highway 30 route are currently within city limits and in
need of City sanitary services.
On February 14, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-32, City Council approved an agreement
with Olsson Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $98,840.00 for
engineering design services related to West Stolley Park Road and Engleman Road
Sanitary Sewer Extension; Project No. 2017-S-3.
On April 11, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-112, City Council approved Amendment No.
1 to the original agreement with Olsson Associates in the amount of $18,242.00 for allow
for further survey work, easement negotiations and design for additional sewer extension.
Amendment No. 1 resulted in a revised agreement amount of $117,082.00.
Discussion
The original agreement with Olsson Associates requires a second amendment to address
construction services. Amendment No. 2 will be provided on a time and expense basis
not to exceed $81,785.00, resulting in a revised agreement amount of $198,867.00.

Points Intersection
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 87 / 161
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:January 23, 2018
Subject:Approving Program Agreement with NDOT for Five
Points Intersection
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On February 14, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-34, City Council approved an agreement
with Olsson Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount of $72,550.00 for
engineering services related to Five Points Signal and Geometric Improvements. This
project was for the improvement of the 5 Points intersection in areas of both lane use and
traffic signal operation. The existing cable span signals were to be replaced with new
mast arm signals, improvement of existing roadway geometrics, evaluation of existing
lane configurations for operation, and installation of signing improvements to meet 2009
MUTCD requirements in the area of this intersection.
During the course of Olsson Associates engineering services work on this project it was
recommended that a study of the entire area surrounding the 5 Points intersection be
considered. Further study would allow examination of the Five Points intersection to aid
in specifically reducing the incidence of crashes; reducing vehicle delay, improving the
mobility of the traveling pedestrians and correcting roadway geometric deficiencies.
Discussion
Public Works applied for Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) safety funds
to help with costs of the 5 Points intersection improvements. The project was selected as
a NDOT safety project, with Federal-aid funding available through NDOT. The federal
share payable on any portion of a local federal-aid project is a maximum of 80% of the
eligible participating costs, while the Local Public Agency (LPA) is responsible for the
remaining 20% as well as all other nonparticipating or ineligible costs of the project. The
current estimate of this project is $2,265,300.00, with the LPA share being $565,300.00
at this time, and the Federal share payable capped at $1,700,000.00 currently.
Such project would consist of geometric improvements, new traffic signal or multi-lane
roundabout and will right size the lane configuration to optimize safety and efficiency,
and meet the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) safety program requirements.

Item G-17
#2018-24 - Approving Revisions to the Grand Island Metropolitan
Planning Organization (GIAMPO) Designation Agreement
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 131 / 161
Council Agenda Memo
From:Allan Zafft AICP, MPO Program Manager
Meeting:January 23, 2018
Subject:Approving Revisions to the Grand Island Metropolitan
Planning Organization (GIAMPO) Designation
Agreement
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
In March 2012 the City of Grand Island and the surrounding area was identified as a
census defined Urbanized Area. Census defined Urbanized Areas are required by the
Federal Surface Transportation Act to form a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
within one year of being declared urbanized.
On February 12, 2013, via Resolution No. 2013-44, City Council approved an agreement
with the State of Nebraska to create the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization (GIAMPO). Such agreement established the MPO boundary, the decision
making authority for the MPO through the Policy Board, the recommendation committee
with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and staffing to support the services of
the MPO.
Discussion
It is requested at this time changes be made in the voting members on both the Policy
Board and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), as follows:
Reduce the number of Grand Island City Council members from 4 to 3 on the
Policy Board to address the difficulty of keeping all four (4) filled; and
Change the one representative appointed by the Board of the Central Nebraska
Regional Airport from a non-voting to voting member on the Technical Advisory
Committee to address the need to have representation from all modes of
transportation; and
Add the City Transit Program Manager as a voting member on the Technical
Advisory Committee to address the need to have representation from all modes of
transportation.
Federal regulations require re-designation of an MPO whenever there is a substantial
change in the proportion of voting members, 23 CFR 450.310(j)(1), making a re-
designation agreement necessary. Federal regulations do not specifically identify who
Grand Island Council Session - 1/23/2018 Page 132 / 161
shall be on a board or committee or who shall be voting or not; the regulations permit
membership and voting to be agreed upon by the Governor and the local government.
Therefore, the regulations do not prohibit changing the voting members as planned here.
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 revisions to the Grand
Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) designation agreement.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.
