(1 1/2%) to a rate of two percent (2%). The Mayor and City Administration proposed that by this

#2018-291 - Approving Agreement with Olsson Associates for
Preliminary Engineering Services for Five Points Intersection in
Grand Island
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 23 / 170
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:October 9, 2018
Subject:Approving Agreement with Olsson Associates for
Preliminary Engineering Services for Five Points
Intersection in Grand Island
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.
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.
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 24 / 170
Discussion
Olsson Associates, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska was selected to perform Preliminary
Engineering Services based on qualifications detailed in the firm’s on-call proposal to
NDOT for these services, their experience with Federal-aid Transportation projects, and
their familiarity with the Five Points Intersection project. Public Works Engineering staff
conducted negotiations to determine the appropriate scope and fee to satisfy NDOT
requirements and to ensure quality construction inspection and project management.
Olsson Associates, Inc. will be paid actual costs, for an amount not to exceed
$361,475.00.
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 that the Council approve the agreement with Olsson
Associates, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska to perform engineering services for Five
Points Intersection project.
Sample Motion

(CPFF) payment method. Consultant will be paid for acceptable actual services performed
plus a fixed fee for profit in accordance with Section 4. PAYMENTS.
2.TOTAL AGREEMENT AMOUNTS
For completion of the services as outlined in this Agreement, Consultant will be paid no
more than the following amounts:
for actual direct labor costs
for indirect labor costs and direct expenses
for a fixed fee for profit
$ 112,052.55
$ 209,295.72
$ $40,126.73
$ 361,475.00 total agreement amount. Consultant's total compensation shall not
exceed this maximum amount without prior written approval of State.
3.FIXED FEE FOR PROFIT
The fixed fee for profit is computed upon the negotiated direct labor and overhead costs.
The fixed fee for profit is not allowable upon direct non-labor costs. For each invoicing
period, the fixed fee for profit is calculated by multiplying the sum of the actual direct labor
and overhead costs invoiced by the negotiated fee for profit rate of 12.95%. Upon
completion of the services outlined in this Agreement, the Consultant may invoice the State
any remaining fixed fee for profit not previously invoiced. The total fixed fee for profit
eligible to be paid to consultant does not vary with actual costs, but may be increased or
decreased as a result of scope changes in the agreement. If all of the services under this
agreement are not completed for any reason, the fixed fee for profit may be adjusted based
on the State's determination of the actual percentage of services completed.
4.ALLOWABLE COSTS
Payment for Services under this Agreement will be made based on the payment method
identified in Section 1. PAYMENT METHOD, up to the maximum amount identified in
Section 2. TOTAL AGREEMENT AMOUNT. Allowable costs include direct labor costs,
Subconsultant costs and other direct non-labor costs, and overhead costs.
A Direct Labor Costs are the earnings that individuals receive for the time they are
working directly on the project.
1)Hourly Rates: For hourly employees, the hourly earnings rate shall be the
employee's straight time hourly rate for the pay period in which the work was
performed. If overtime hours are worked on this project, the premium pay portion of
those hours is not allowable as a direct labor cost.
For salaried employees, the hourly earnings rate shall be their actual hourly rate as
recorded in the Consultant's accounting books of record.
2)Time reports: The hours charged to the project must be supported by adequate
time distribution records that clearly indicate the distribution of hours to all
projects/activities on a daily basis for the entire pay period. Time reports must
provide a clear identifying link to the projects: such as project description, project
number, pertinent work phase, dates of service, and the individual's name and
position. There must be an adequate system of internal controls in place to ensure
that time charges are correct and have the appropriate supervisory approval.

cost category, in its entirety, as an overhead cost, then costs from that category are
not eligible to be billed to this project as a direct expense.
2) Subconsultant costs may not exceed the costs shown on the attached Consultant's
Fee Proposal for each Subconsultant unless agreed upon by the Consultant and

Consultant within 30 days of receipt of Consultant's invoices.
7. PROMPT PAYMENT CLAUSE
Consultant shall include a "Prompt Payment Clause" as a part of every subcontract

connection with this Agreement or any part thereof.
10. AGREEMENT CLOSE-OUT
Upon submitting its final invoice, the Consultant must complete and submit to the LPA, or
State on LPA's behalf, a Notification of Completion Form (NDOT Form 39). The form is
available on State's website at http://dot.nebraska.gov/business-center/consultant/ and
must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions on the form.
11. INELIGIBLE COSTS
LPA is not responsible for costs incurred prior to the Notice to Proceed date or after the
completion deadline date set out in the NOTICE TO PROCEED AND COMPLETION
SCHEDULE section of this Agreement or as approved in writing by LPA, or State on LPA's
behalf.
12. FEDERAL COST PRINCIPLES
LPA will not make payments directly to Consultant for services performed under this
agreement. Instead, the State will serve as a paying agent for LPA, and will pay Consultant
directly for properly submitted and approved invoices using both LPA and Federal funds
based on the applicable project federal cost participation percentage. The following
process shall apply whenever the LPA, the State or the FHWA determines that certain
costs, previously paid to Consultant, should not have been paid with federal funds by the
State to Consultant. Consultant shall immediately repay the State the federal share of the
previously paid amount and may invoice LPA for the costs repaid to the State. LPA shall
promptly pay the full amount of the invoice from its own funds unless LPA, in good faith,
disputes whether the Consultant is entitled to the payment under the agreement or the
amount of the invoice. In the event of a dispute between LPA and Consultant, the dispute
resolution process outlined shall be used by the parties. For performance of Services as
specified in this Agreement, State, on LPA's behalf, will pay Consultant subject to the terms
of this Agreement and all requirements and limitations of the federal cost principles
contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulations 48 CFR 31 (Contract Cost Principles and
Procedures).
13. SUBCONSULTANT OVER-RUNS AND UNDER-RUNS
Consultant shall require any subconsultant to notify Consultant if at any time the
subconsultant determines that its costs will exceed its negotiated fee estimate (over-run).
Consultant shall not allow any subconsultant costs to over-run without prior written approval
of the LPA, or State on LPA's behalf. Consultant understands that the amount of any
subconsultant cost under-run will be subtracted from the total compensation to be paid to
Consultant under this Agreement, unless prior written approval is obtained from LPA, or
State on LPA's behalf, and, when applicable, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
14. OUT-OF-SCOPE SERVICES AND CONSUL TANT WORK ORDERS
LPA, or State on LPA's behalf, may request that Consultant provide services that, in the
opinion of Consultant, are in addition to or different from those set out in the Scope of
Services. When LPA, or State on LPA's behalf, decides that these out-of-scope services
may require an adjustment in costs, Consultant shall provide in writing:
A. A description of the out-of-scope services,
Project No. HSIP-5409(3)

Sheet 6 of 8
Agreement No. BK1842
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 96 / 170
EXHIBIT "B"
FEES AND PAYMENTS
B. An explanation of why Consultant believes that the out-of-scope services are not within
the original Scope of Services and additional work effort is required,
C. An estimate of the cost to complete the out-of-scope services. Consultant must
receive written approval from LPA, or State on LPA's behalf, before proceeding with
the out-of-scope services. Before written approval will be given by LPA, or State on
LPA's behalf, LPA or State must determine that the situation meets the following
criteria:
1) The out-of-scope services are not within the original Scope of Services and
additional work effort is required;
2) The out-of-scope services are within the basic scope of services under which
Consultant was selected and Agreement entered into; and
3) It is in the best interest of State that the out-of-scope services be performed
under this Agreement.
Once the need for a modification to the Agreement has been established, the State, on
LPA's behalf, will prepare a supplemental agreement. If the additional work requires the
Consultant to incur costs prior to execution of a supplemental agreement, the LPA, or State
on LPA's behalf, may issue a written notice to proceed prior to completing the supplemental
agreement (for non-Federal aid projects) or shall use the process set out below (for Federal
aid PE projects):
The Consultant Work Order (CWO) -NDOT Form 251 shall be used to describe and
provide necessary justification for the additional scope of services, effort, the
deliverables, modification of schedule, and to document the cost of additional
services. The CWO form is available on State's website at
http://dot.nebraska.gov/business-center/consultant/. The CWO must be executed to
provide authorization for the additional work and to specify when that work may begin.
The agreement will be supplemented after one or more CWOs have been authorized
and approved for funding.
15. TERMINATION COST ADJUSTMENT
If the Agreement is terminated prior to project completion, LPA and State will compare the
percentage of work actually completed by Consultant, to the total amount of work
contemplated by this Agreement. This comparison will result in a payment by the State, on
behalf of LPA, for any underpayment, no adjustment, or a billing to Consultant for
overpayment. The State's final audit may result in an additional cost adjustment.
16. AUDIT AND FINAL COST ADJUSTMENT
Upon LPA's and State's determination that Consultant has completed Services under this
Agreement, State, or its authorized representative, may complete an audit review of the
payments made under this Agreement. The Parties understand that the audit may require
an adjustment of the payments made under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to
reimburse State for any overpayments identified in the audit review, and State agrees to
pay Consultant for any identified underpayments.
17. CONSUL TANT COST RECORD RETENTION
Consultant shall maintain all books, documents, papers, detailed receipts, accounting
records, and other evidence pertaining to costs incurred and shall make such material
available for examination at its office at all reasonable times during the agreement period

Subject:Approving Certificate of Final Completion for Curb
Ramp Project No. 2018-CR-2 CDBG
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Galvan Construction, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska was awarded a $137,246.75 contract
for Curb Ramp Project No. 2018-CR-2 CDBG on April 10, 2018, via Resolution No.
2018-100. The contract was for the installation of handicap ramps utilizing funds through
a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in the amount of $135,000.00.
Curb ramps were installed at the following locations-
Beal Street; 4th Street to 14th Street
8th Street; Lambert Street
9th Street; St. Paul Street
9th Street; Poplar Street
9th Street/11th Street; Evans Street
State Street; Custer Avenue *City funded, as this location is outside the grant
boundary
Work commenced on June 8, 2018 and was completed on August 30, 2018.
The project plans were prepared with estimated quantities at each curb ramp area. Any
required changes are made in the field as the project is being built, dependent on the
condition of the sidewalks and curb & gutter.
The City is required to have a planned schedule for upgrading public sidewalk ramps to
conform to American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Discussion
The project was completed in accordance with the terms, conditions, and stipulations of the
contract, plans and specifications. Construction of Curb Ramp Project No. 2018-CR-2
CDBG was completed with an underrun of $1,290.05, for a total cost of $135,956.70.

#2018-293 - Approving Authorization for Emergency Sanitary
Sewer Manhole Repair East of Spring Road on Stolley Park Road
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 107 / 170
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jon Menough PE, Wastewater Treatment Plant Engineer
Meeting:October 9, 2018
Subject:Approving Authorization for Emergency Sanitary Sewer
Manhole Repair East of Spring Road on Stolley Park
Road
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Emergency sanitary sewer repairs were needed for damage to a sanitary sewer manhole
east of Spring Road on Stolley Park Road.
On November 17, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-322 Grand Island City Council
awarded a $433,786.75 contract to Municipal Pipe Tool Company, LLC of Hudson, Iowa
for Sanitary Sewer Collection System Rehabilitation- Various Locations; Project No.
2017-S-2B. During the course of their work on this project a televising camera became
lodged in the City sanitary sewer main system. City staff assisted in retrieving the
flushing apparatus used to dislodge the camera and in the process broke a 6-inch hole in
the bottom southeast side of the subject manhole. Groundwater immediately began
flowing into the manhole at an estimated rate of fifty (50) gallons per minute (gpm) while
at the same time carrying significant amounts of sand and gravel into the manhole. The
possibility of undermining the surrounding pavement on Stolley Park Road, potentially
leading to significant damage to the road as well as potentially causing a traffic accident
became apparent.
This particular manhole is one that had been scheduled for refurbishment due to its
degraded condition.
Discussion
Myers Construction, Inc. of Broken Bow, Nebraska provided a quote of $84,900.00 on
the afternoon of September 6, 2018 for the sanitary sewer manhole repair on the east side
of Spring Road on Stolley Park Road. Based on deteriorating conditions at the site it was
decided to give others solicited until 10:00am on September 7, 2018, to respond. When
no one else had responded by this time, Myers Construction, Inc. was awarded the work.
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 108 / 170
City staff attempted to obtain quotes from The Diamond Engineering of Grand Island,
Nebraska and Van Kirk Bros. Contracting of Sutton, Nebraska.
A summary dated September 10, 2018 of the events is attached for review.
Repairs were completed and are to be paid at actual costs, which total $76,650.00.
Since the total is over $20,000.00 council approval is necessary. Permission is requested
to use the emergency procurement procedures as outlined in Section 27-13 of the City
Code.
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 usage of the City’s
Emergency Procurement Procedures and pass a resolution authorizing payment to Myers
Construction, Inc. of Broken Bow, Nebraska in the total amount of $76,650.00 for the
necessary sanitary sewer manhole repair.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the usage of the City’s Emergency Procurement Procedures and
authorize payment for the necessary sanitary sewer manhole repair.

To:John Collins September 10, 2018
From:Jon Menough
Subject:Emergency Manhole Repair (45-8)
The following summary provides a review of events surrounding the emergency manhole repair just east
of Spring Street on Stolley Road (MH 45-8). The damage occurred on Wednesday afternoon, September
5, while we were assisting Municipal Pipe and Tool (MPT) retrieve a camera they had gotten stuck while
assessing problems with the CIPP lining job they had done in Pipe ID 22197.
While retrieving the flushing apparatus used to break the camera free, we broke about a 6-inch hole in
the southeast side at the bottom of the subject manhole. This particular manhole is one that had been
scheduled for refurbishment because of its questionable condition. Immediately, groundwater began
flowing into the manhole at an estimated rate of 50 gpm while at the same time carrying significant
amounts of sand and gravel into the manhole. This had the possibility of undermining the surrounding
pavement on Stolley Road, potentially leading to significant damage to the road as well as potentially
causing a traffic accident.
1.I was notified of the break by Fred Tustin, crew supervisor, late Wednesday afternoon by phone.
Shortly after 6 PM, I met Fred and two other members of the crew at the site while they were
installing sandbags to staunch the flow of sand and gravel into the manhole.
2. On Thursday morning Sept. 6th at 7:15 AM, Fred called Myers Construction to ask for a bid on
an emergency repair for the manhole. Chris Myers said that he would meet Fred at 9:30 AM to
look it over.
3.At 7:21 AM, Fred called Diamond Engineering and talked with Matt, letting him know that we
had an emergency repair. He said that he could meet Fred at about 8:30 am at the site.
4.At 7:31 AM, Fred called Van Kirks and talked with Jamie, telling him about the emergency repair.
Jamie said that they had a meeting at 8:30, that he would find out if they had anyone available
to do the work and then get back to Fred.
5.Matt (Diamond) met with Scott Cameron (Crew Leader) around 8:15 AM at the site. Scott told
him what had happened, that it was an emergency and that we needed a bid as soon as
possible. Matt told Scott that he would get a hold of Fred by early afternoon on Thursday,
September 6.
6.Fred met with Chris (Myers) around 9:30 AM and told him what had happened. Fred also told
him that it was an emergency.
7.Chris (Myers) called Fred back throughout the day asking questions about the job. Chris said he
would have Fred something later in the day. Chris thought if he knew anything that day
(Thursday) they would possibly be able to put in a well on Friday Sept. 8th.
8.Fred called Matt (Diamond) around 2:25 PM to follow up with him. Matt said that he was
waiting on the well driller to get back to him. Fred told him we needed the bid right away so we
can get going on it. Matt said as soon as he could he would get back to Fred. Fred did not hear
anything from Matt the rest of the day.
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 110 / 170
9.Chris (Myers) finally sent Fred an email with his bid around 4:28 PM. Fred forwarded the email
from Myers to me at 6:43 AM on Friday.
10.On Friday morning, Sept. 7th, Chris (Myers) called Fred to see how things were going. Fred told
him we were waiting for another bid and would get back to him as soon as possible.
11.Fred called Matt (Diamond) at 7:31 AM Friday to see if he had a bid yet and he (Matt) said not
yet.
12.About 7:45 AM, Fred called me to advise me that Diamond had not gotten back to him as of yet.
I suggested we wait until 10:00 AM for their response. Fred also advised me that, overnight, the
flow in the manhole had gotten worse. More sand and gravel was coming in and the outlet line
was running almost full.
13.I talked to Fred shortly after 10 AM and learned that he had still not heard anything from
Diamond.
14.Because the situation appeared to be getting worse, I contacted you and was advised to contact
Stacy Nonhof in legal to get the final authorization to proceed. I subsequently learned that she
was not in and contacted Jerom Janulewicz, City Attorney. After explaining the situation I was
given final authorization to proceed.
15.At 10:50 AM, I notified Fred that we had final approval from legal and that he could proceed
with the work using Myers. It was hoped that Myers still might be able to get the dewatering
well installed by Saturday, alleviating the potential undermining of the surrounding roadway.
16.Matt (Diamond) finally submitted an estimate to Fred at 2:15 PM Friday afternoon.
17.Nothing was heard from Van Kirks after the initial contact.
On Friday afternoon, we were notified by Myers that they would not be able to get the dewatering well
installed until Monday, September 10. They stated that they would be moving forward on getting
equipment in place and start laying out dewatering pipe yet that night.

preparing fields.
On September 23, 2018 bids were advertised for 500 tons of infield soil conditioner.

governing body by the addition of a member of the Aurora City Council and a public-
spirited citizen selected by the Aurora City Council.

#2018-300 - Consideration of Approving Changes to Speed Limit
Resolution No. 2016-262
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - Updated - 10/9/2018 Page 153 / 170
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:October 9, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Approving Changes to Speed Limit
Resolution No. 2016-262
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
With the recent passing of LB1009, the Nebraska Department of Transportation
contacted Public Works Engineering staff regarding an increase of speed limit on US
Highways 34/281.
Speed limits on City streets that are set by state statute can be modified by resolution of
the City Council. Modifications to speed limits are to be completed in accordance with
the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Discussion
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department conducted a safety study on
US Highway 30 (1st Street) at Sycamore Street in order to improve safety, and found the
transition of speed from 25mph to 35mph would be more suitable at Plum Street, with
concurrence from the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT). US Highway 281
within City limits was also reviewed for speed changes to accommodate NDOT’s
changes south of such limits. City staff also included a speed review of South Locust
Street towards the interstate. Following are City staff recommendations for City Council
consideration to make the changes.

Meeting:October 9, 2018
Subject:Turbine Generator Warranty Investigation
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
A major inspection and overhaul of the turbine generator at the Platte Generating Station
is performed every five years. The overhaul was completed in the fall of 2017. During
this inspection, the turbine generator is completely disassembled, and all components are
cleaned, inspected, repaired or replaced as necessary.
Specifications were developed by the plant engineering staff to include all labor to open,
inspect, clean, and close the turbine and the generator, with the City to supply all parts
and materials. Included in the bid were technical support and 800 hours of repair labor for
bearings, steam nozzles, turbine rotor blades, and generator parts. The specifications
include a composite hourly rate for additions or reductions in the repair labor amount as
the amount of actual work is not known until the unit is disassembled and inspected.
Discussion
The work completed by Reliable Turbine Services in 2017 was warranted for 1 year.
During the last year plant engineers discovered three issues that could fall under the
warranty. If the root cause for the issues that are occurring are found not to be the
workmanship of Reliable Turbine Services, City of Grand Island Utilities would be
responsible for the repairs.
Reliable Turbine Services developed a scope of work that will investigate the issues.
They would perform this work during the fall outage that is scheduled to start October 11,
2018. The proposed scope of work is based on the standard rates, and estimated hours.
This work is not to exceed $222,060.00. If during the investigation, the work is found to
be under warranty, there will be no charges to the City of Grand Island Utilities.
