Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director

Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Acquisition of Utility Easement – 3579 North U.S.
Highway 281 - Stevensen
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 Robert D. and Michelle J. Stevensen, through a part of Lot Two (2), Pulte
Second Subdivision in Hall County, Nebraska (3579 North U.S. Highway 281) in order
to have access to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair power appurtenances, including
power lines and transformers.
Discussion
Grones Outdoor Power is upgrading an existing facility located at 3551 North U.S.
Highway 281. As part of the work the Utilities Department needs to re-route the existing
3-phase overhead power line and install a pad-mounted transformer to provide service to
the upgraded building. The proposed easement will allow the department to install,
access, operate and maintain the electrical infrastructure at this location.
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
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the resolution for the
acquisition of the easement for one dollar ($1.00).

Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Rezone from RD Zone to Amended RD Zone
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
An application has been made to rezone the east side of the Talon Apartments
Subdivision from RD Zone to Amended RD Zone and approve a modified development
plan.
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held March 13, 2019 the
above item was considered following a public hearing.
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity explained the original layout proposed with 4 (32 unit) apartment
buildings. They are now proposing to amend this to 6 (22 unit) buildings instead
of 4 buildings. The buildings will contain a mixture of 1 and 2 bedroom
apartments with some attached garages. The new layout will include 2 buildings
along the north end and clubhouse and pool central and a quad of 4 units where
they had 2 units. Nabity recommended approval. This plat of this does include a
piece of CRA property where the Desert Rose was along the north edge of the
CRA property where the drive into the apartments is located. CRA has agreed to
sell that property as it is already covered by an access easement.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Ruge and second by Rainforth to approve the rezone of
Talon Apartments First Subdivision as shown on the proposed development plan
from RD Residential Development Zone to Amended RD Residential
Development Zone including the preliminary and Final Plat finding that the
proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan
for the City of Grand Island.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 12 / 171
The motion carried with ten members in favor (Nelson, Allan, O’Neill,
Ruge, Maurer, Robb, Rubio, Monter, Rainforth and Kjar) no members
voting no.
The memo sent to the planning commission with staff recommendation is
attached for review by Council.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the rezoning request as presented
2.Modify the rezoning request to meet the wishes of the Council
3.Postpone the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the proposed changes as
recommended.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the ordinance and development plan as presented.

Agenda Item # 5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
March 1, 2019
SUBJECT:Zoning Change (C-14-2019GI)
PROPOSAL:An application has been made a portion of Talon Apartments First Subdivision
including lots 6-9 and a portion of Lot 10 and Outlot A from RD Residential Development Zone to
Amended RD Residential Development Zone. The developers originally proposed to build
four 36 unit buildings and detached garage space within this area and are proposing to
build 6 twenty two unit buildings with some attached garages, a club house and pool and
some detached garage space. The total number of units in this section would drop from
144 units to 132 units and 30 indoor parking spaces would be added.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation:RD Residential Development Zone. This portion of
the property as approved for an additional 144 units
of apartments in four 36 unit building.
Permitted and conditional uses:RD This portion of the property as approved for an
additional 144 units of apartments in four 36 unit
building.

to build four 36 unit buildings and detached garage
space within this area and are proposing to build 6
twenty two unit buildings with some attached
garages, a club house and pool and some
detached garage space. The total number of units
in this section would drop from 144 units to 132
units and 30 indoor parking spaces would be added

South: Designated for Highway Commercial
Existing land uses:North Lake front residential on very large lots
South: Walmart
East: Residential and Farm Ground
West: The first phase of the Talon Apartment
development and vacant property owned by CRA
(formerly The Desert Rose)
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is
designated for a combination of Commercial and Residential uses. Apartments are
allowed within the commercial districts of Grand Island.
Would allow for additional development at this key intersection on the entrance to
Grand Island: This would allow the property owners to develop this site.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 16 / 171
New residential development may spur additional commercial development: Most of
the new commercial development has occurred in northwest Grand Island along the
U.S. Highway 281 corridor because that is the largest new population center. The
lots in front of Wal-Mart just to the south of this project have been available for more
than 10 years and there has not been any additional development at that location.
One possible reason for this may be that there has not been much new housing
developed in southeast Grand Island. This is a chance to change that and
potentially encourage additional commercial development in the area as well.
New Market Rate Rental Housing: This is a proposal reduces the number of
apartments slightly but includes additional garage space and amenities for the
complex including a club house and pool.
Negative Implications:
Potential Impact to Schools: This project is not designed to appeal to families with
school age children but if some families live in the apartments it would have an
impact on schools, most especially Star elementary. This proposal decreases the
total number of units in this development by 12.
Other Considerations
The this property is already intended for possible commercial and residential uses as
shown below on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island.
As this is an RD zone the rezoning approval includes approval of the enclosed
development plan, preliminary and final plat. The proposed plan as amended would
swap four 3 story 36 unit buildings each on their own lot, a single lot for garage
structures and a lot at the northeast corner of the property for a maintenance building for
six 3 story, 22 unit buildings with some attached garages and a lot for existing garage
structures.
A copy of the proposed building elevations is attached.

Figure 1 Requested Zoning Change
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 18 / 171
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends that the Grand Island City
Council change the zoning on this site from RD Residential Development Zone to
Amended RD Residential Development Zone and approve the proposed
development plan as submitted.

Section 25, Township 11, Range 10 (Parcel No.
400201089- Schoel)
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing
to be conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council. The developer of the
Grand Island Regional Hospital location has worked with the affected property owner for
dedication of necessary public right-of-way to allow public access to such area.

of-way is required (see attached sketch).

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 conduct a Public Hearing and approve

#2019-108 - Approving Bid Award - Phelps Control HVAC
Replacement
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 98 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Contract for Phelps Control Center HVAC replacement.
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Phelps Control Center original building section was constructed in 1968. The heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system consists of the original, 50-year-old,
heating and air handling units, and a 1996 vintage, 23-year-old, air conditioning unit.
Reliability and maintenance have become issues for this facility that is staffed 24/7. In
addition, how the building is used has changed over the years. The current single
thermostat control system results in comfort variations throughout the building.
An engineering study was performed by Alvine and Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Alvine recommended the system be replaced with a modern, efficient, zone control
system. Alvine also determined the new system could be significantly smaller, saving
capital costs, and consuming less energy monthly.
Discussion
The bid package was sent directly to five potential bidders and advertised. The following
bid was received by the City on February 26, 2019 for providing and installing the new
HVAC system. The engineer’s estimate for this work was $200,000.00.
Bidder Bid Price Exceptions
Mid Plains Construction $180,300.00 See * below.
*Alternate 1 from bidder accepted. Price reduction included in Bid Price above.

#2019-109 - Approving Bid Award - Transmission Line Work
OPGW Upgrade
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 103 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Transmission Line Work OPGW Upgrade
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Grand Island Utilities Department utilizes a 115,000 Volt transmission loop around
the City to connect the substations together as well as provide interconnections with
Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) in five locations.
In 1998, the shield wire on the transmission loop was replaced with a twelve fiber Optical
Ground Wire (OPGW). This OPGW provides shielding and grounding for the
transmission system as well as twelve fiber optic connections between substations and the
Phelps Control Center. More recently, fibers have been used for additional City
communications.
With the dramatic increase in data transfer requirements over the past decade, twelve
fibers are no longer adequate. Current standard OPGW installations typically include, at a
minimum, forty-eight fibers and commonly ninety-six fibers. It was decided by
Department staff that upgrading the OPGW to ninety-six fibers was necessary to meet
current and future needs.
Discussion
The request for bids was advertised in accordance with City procurement requirements.
Specifications were sent to five regional providers. Bids were publicly opened on March
14, 2019. Three bids were received as shown below:
Bidder Amount Exceptions
Watts Electric Company, Waverly, Nebraska $ 934,582.11 None
IES Commercial, Inc., Holdrege, Nebraska $ 962,615.00 None
Wolf Line Construction, Lexington, South Carolina $1,219,610.65 None
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 104 / 171
The engineer’s estimate was $750,000.00. Upon investigation into why the bids received
were significantly higher than the engineer’s estimate, it was discovered that budgetary
pricing obtained prior to going out for bids was a labor price only. The following is the
labor component of the bids:
Bidder Labor Total Bid % Labor
Watts Electric Company $628,857.04 $ 934,582.11 67.3%
IES Commercial, Inc.$672,586.00 $ 962,615.00 69.9%
Wolf Line Construction $890,247.34 $1,219,610.65 73.0%
The labor component of two out of the three bids received is below the engineer’s
estimate and two bids were very close to each other indicating that they are competitive.
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 a future date
4. Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the bid for Transmission Line

#2019-110 - Approving Repair of the Coal Unloading Chute at
Platte Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 108 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:March 26, 2019
Subject:Platte Generating Station Coal Unloading Chute
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
On January 15, 2019, the coal unloading chute at Platte Generating Station had a cable
break which allows the chute to move up and down. The chute was temporarily locked in
place to allow personnel to unload the train and continue operation of the power plant.
During further inspections, it was found that a section of the chute, including the cable
and pulleys, had worn out and needs to be replaced. A budgetary proposal for this work
was received from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to replace the cable,
pulleys, and chute sections.
The Platte Generating Station is going into an 18-day outage starting March 28, 2019.
This would allow the chute to be repaired while the plant is shut down. The OEM is the
only manufacturer that has the design drawings to manufacture the replacement chute
piece in time to make the repairs during the outage. Another manufacturer would have to
disassemble the chute to get the correct measurements extending the time to make the
repairs. The disassembly and repair is estimated to take one week by the OEM. Each day
the outage is extended would require the purchase of transmission and power at an
additional cost estimate of $18,000 a day above what Platte Generating Station can
produce power. The coal unloading chute is also part of our air permit to minimize dust,
it could cause a violation if the chute is not repaired as soon as possible.
Discussion
To restore the coal unloading chute for use during the summer peak electrical season, the
Utilities Department requests to use section 27-12 Sole Source Procurements of the
Procurement Code. Bedeschi Mid-West Conveyor Company provided a bid of
$78,650.00.

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

Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approve the bid from Bedeschi Mid-West
Conveyor Company for $78,650.00 to repair the coal unloading chute at Platte
Generating Station.
Sample Motion
Motion to approve the bid from Bedeschi Mid-West Conveyor Company for $78,650.00

Streets Division of the Public Works Department
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 117 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Approving Purchase of New Front-End Loader for the
Streets Division of the Public Works Department
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Streets Division of the Public Works Department has budgeted funds for a new Front
End Loader in the 2018/2019 fiscal year.
Unit 236, 2006 Case 621D Front End Loader, will be offered for trade-in. Unit 236 has
over 3,300 hours and repair cost to purchase ratio of 0.48 and is currently used primarily
for loading/unloading salt trucks at the West Yard. The new front end loader will be used
daily as a front-line unit and the next oldest loader will be used at the west yard for
loading/unloading salt and as a stand-by unit.
Another benefit of this trade will be the multi-purpose uses of the new loader; The
existing Unit 236 is set up to attach to a bucket only but the Streets Division’s other two
loaders can attach to a bucket, vee plow, or snow heaver. The new loader will be set up to
interchange with the currently owned attachments and if new attachments are purchased
they will be interchangeable amongst all three loaders.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint Powers
Alliance Buying Group (NJPA), now known as Sourcewell, with Resolution 2014-326.
To meet competitive bidding requirements, the Streets Division obtained pricing from the
(NJPA) Sourcewell Contract No. 032515-CAT awarded to Caterpillar, Inc.; with NMC of
Omaha, NE assigned as our authorized dealer.
NMC has on-hand a new 2018 model 930M that will require only a few modifications to
meet the City’s requirements. Per the Sourcewell Contract No. 032515-CAT the price for
the new 2018 CAT 930M Front End Loader, that meets the City’s requirements, will be
$193,400.00. NMC is offering $39,500.00 trade value for the 2006 Case 621D (Unit 236)
for a net purchase price of $153,900.00.

Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Approving Purchase of a new Bucket Truck/Sign Truck
for the Streets Division of the Public Works Department
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Streets Division of the Public Works Department has budgeted funds for a new
Bucket Truck/Sign Truck in the 2018/2019 fiscal year.
The Streets Division performs a variety of work on traffic control signs, street name
signs, overhead street name signs, downtown flags, and banners. The location of this
work typically requires the reach and height of a bucket truck. The new bucket truck was
specified to provide safety features and components, such as an insulated boom, that
would allow the Streets Division to use it as a back-up traffic signal bucket truck.
The new bucket truck will replace Unit 212, a 1999 GMC C3500 with Aftel Armlift
body, which has approximately 11,700 hours and a repair cost to purchase price ratio of
1.26. Unit 212 will be offered to all other City Divisions and if there is no interest then it
will be sold as surplus at an on-line auction site.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint Powers
Alliance Buying Group (NJPA), now known as Sourcewell, with Resolution 2014-326.
To meet competitive bidding requirements, the Streets Division obtained pricing from the
NJPA Contract No. 012418-ALT awarded to Altec Industries, Inc.
Public Works staff is recommending the purchase of a 2019 Altec AT37G Bucket
Truck/Sign Truck from Altec Industries, Inc. in the amount of $134,814.00.

Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Approve Converting Two (2) Tennis Courts to Six (6)
Pickleball Courts in Stolley Park
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy
Background
In 1974 the City of Grand Island took ownership of Stolley State Park. Today, Stolley is
one of Grand Island most popular parks. Stolley Park offers a wading pool, playground
equipment, disc golf, train rides, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, basketball courts, ball
fields, picnic areas, and more. Stolley is home to numerous community events such as
corporate picnics, Art in the Park, car shows, and more.
In 2015 the City partnered with the Grand Island Tennis Association to build four new
tennis courts at Ryder Park. The plan at the time was to make Ryder the city’s primary
tennis center and potentially repurpose other existing park tennis courts in the future
In recent years pickleball has become a favorite sport for many Grand Island residents.
Lines were painted at Stolley and Pier Park tennis courts last year to accommodate
portable nets.
Because the demand of pickleball continues to grow, the Parks and Recreation
Department is recommending converting the two (2) outdated tennis courts in Stolley
Park to six (6) new pickleball courts. The project will include resurfacing, new lines,
fence, and permanent nets.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 150 / 171

#2019-118 - Approving Repair of Vertical Turbines at Island Oasis
Water Park
Staff Contact: Todd McCoy, Parks & Recreation Director
Grand Island Council Session - 3/26/2019 Page 159 / 171
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:March 26, 2019
Subject:Repair of Two (2) Vertical Turbine Pumps at Island
Oasis Water Park
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
Island Oasis Water Park opened to the public in the summer of 1993. The lazy river was
added in 1999 and the speed slides added in 2002. Some of the pumps and motors that
propel water throughout the sanitation system and filters have aged to the point that the
performance and reliability has become a concern.
Discussion
After the 2018 swim season the Grand Island Utility Department helped the Parks and
Recreation staff remove several motors and pumps at Island Oasis for evaluation and
potential repair. Two (2) of the vertical turbine pumps that operate the lazy river were
sent off to Engineering Pump Service, Inc. of Mukwonago, Wisconsin for cleaning and
inspection. The inspection fee was $1,200.00 each for a total of $2,400.00. During
inspection Engineering Pump Service found that the pumps were in need of a complete
overhaul.
Because complete pump overhaul was unanticipated and lengthy lead time, City
Procurement Agent Stacy Nonhof has waived the typical practice of a formal bid in this
unique situation. Based off the inspection report, three (3) quotes were requested to
insure the City was receiving a fair price for the work.
Pump #1 Pump #2 Total
Engineered Pump Services $13,115.00 $13,215.00 $26,330.00
JCI Industries of Lincoln, NE $13,079.00 $13,927.00 $27,006.00
RERpump of Sussex, WI $34,214.00 $35,619.00 $69,833.00
Hydro Inc. of Chicago, IL No bid, no response to bid
Staff recommends accepting the quote from Engineered Pump Services in the amount of
$26,330.00 to overhaul the two (2) vertical turbine pumps.

WHEREAS, the Island Oasis Water Park is operated by the City Parks &
Recreation Department and the vertical turbine pumps are in need of repair/overhauling; and
WHEREAS, three (3) quotes were received and reviewed; and
WHEREAS, the pumps were taken apart and inspected and it was discovered that
the pumps needed extensive repair than originally estimated thus taking the repair price over the
$20,000 threshold; and
WHEREAS, due to special circumstances, the nature of the work and the
necessity of the work needing done as quickly as possible and the fact that the formal bid process
would take us well past the Water Park opening date we were granted permission to forgo the
formal bid process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the vertical turbine pump repairs at
Island Oasis Water Park in the amount of $26,330.00 including the inspection fee of $2,400.00
