to Adopt the 2018 International Building Code, the 2018
International Residential Code, and the 2018
International Existing Building Code
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
The City of Grand Island has for generations adopted and enforced building codes which
regulate the construction of buildings within the City and jurisdictional areas. The
purpose of these codes is to provide minimum requirements to safeguard the public
safety, health and general welfare, through affordability, structural strength, means of
egress facilities, stability, sanitation, light and ventilation, energy conversation and safety
to life and property from fire and other hazards attributed to the built environment and to
provide safety to firefighters and emergency responders during emergency operations.
Discussion
The City currently adopts and enforces the 2015 Edition of the International Building and
Residential Codes as published by the International Code Council. The Building Code
Advisory Board has recently reviewed the 2018 editions of these two codes and
recommends their adoption with the revisions as outlined in the attached amended
Chapter 8 of the City Code.
The Board has also reviewed the 2018 Edition of the International Existing Building
Code which was eliminated from the building code and published as a separate
document.
The State of Nebraska does require that political subdivisions who enforce building codes
adopt the State Building Code, which is the latest edition of the International codes. The
2018 edition is the latest edition. The 2021 editions are scheduled to be published early in
2021.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 48 / 330
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the request and amend the City Code to adopt the International
Building and Residential codes.
2.Disapprove or /Deny the request.
3.Modify the conditional use to meet the wishes of the Council
4.Table the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approve the recommendation of the
Building Code Advisory Board and amend Chapter 8 to adopt the 2018 International
Building Code, the 2018 International Residential Code, and the 2018 International
Existing Building Code and begin enforcement January 1, 2021.
Sample Motion

2018 Editions of the International Building, Residential, and Existing Building Codes.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of

of five (5) lots, with a portion of the parcel west of Lot One (1) being added to such subdivision

Conley, Minton and Nickerson voted aye. Haase, Hehnke, Jones, Paulick, Schutz, Scott and

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Public Hearing on Request from LPB, LLC for a Conditional Use Permit for Placement of a Soil
and Groundwater Remedial System located at 704 West 3rd Street. Building Department
Director Craig Lewis reported the request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for
the placement of a soil vapor extraction trailer to facilitate the removal of free phase petroleum
from soil and groundwater at 724 West 3rd Street. The site is currently zoned (B-3) Heavy
Business. Trailers and temporary buildings are only allowed within this zoning classification if
approved by the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit. This proposal is to allow
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 55 / 330
Page 2, City Council Regular Meeting, October 27, 2020
for the use of the trailer at the site to aid in the cleanup of soil and groundwater contaminates.
Staff recommended approval. No public testimony was heard.
Public Hearing on Request from Gerald and Pamela Dean for a Conditional Use Permit to Allow
Livestock on Premises located at 2670 N. St. Paul Road. Building Department Director Craig
Lewis reported this request is to utilize the newly amended zoning code which allows as a
conditional use livestock on property zoned Large Lot Residential.
Because the vacant lot would not have a permitted principal use and the keeping of livestock is
not a listed permitted principal use the amendment to the zoning code allows as a conditional use
the keeping of livestock. Staff recommended approval. Gerald Patterson, 2705 St. Paul Road
spoke in support. No further public testimony was heard.
Public Hearing on Zoning Change for property located at 4141 Montana Avenue from LLR
Large Lot Residential Zone and RO Residential Office to Residential Office (FAmos
Construction Inc.) Regional Planner Rashad Moxey reported an application has been made to
rezone a tract of land consisting of a portion of Lot 13 of Northwest Gateway Subdivision, 4141
Montana Avenue in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska from LLR Large Lot Residential Zone
and RO Residential Office to RO Residential Office. This property is south of Montana Avenue
and west of Idaho Avenue.
Rashad reported this property is zoned both LLR and RO the line between these was drawn prior
to the subdivision of this property. The RO zoning included all of the property north of the
northern property line of the lots on Utah west of Independence Avenue in the Capital Heights
Eighth Subdivision. At the time of adoption this was the logical place to draw the boundary as
this property was entirely unsubdivided. This rezoning will make the zoning on this lot
consistent with the lot boundaries. Staff recommended approval.
Bruce Bluhm, 3009 Colorado Avenue; David Warriner, 3008 Idaho Avenue; Barb Klein; 3030
Idaho Avenue; Christy Ericson; 3020 Idaho Avenue; Joe Ferris, 3024 Idaho Avenue spoke in
opposition. Amos Anson, 4234 Arizona Avenue spoke in support. No further testimony was
heard.
Public Hearing on Changes to Chapter 36 of the Grand Island City Code Relative to Definitions,
Yard Requirements and Off Street Parking Requirements. Regional Planner Rashad Moxey
reported that the Planning Department and Building Department are suggesting changes to the
following sections of the Zoning Regulations: Section 36-108 (S) Definitions to harmonize the
definition of Street Frontage and to rearrange other Street Definitions to eliminate confusion
between Chapter 33 and 36 of the City Code; and sections 36-22 Yard Requirements and 36-96
Off Street Parking Requirements by repealing changes made in June of 2018.
The purpose of this change was to avoid situations created by the Heavenly Haven Subdivision
where the street frontage along Blaine Street while technically present did not provide any
possibility of actual vehicular access to the property without either a bridge or ferry. The intent
of these changes was to make sure that there was adequate space between the overhead garage
door and the property line for a car to park in front of the garage. While the intent of this was
good this has resulted in lots, especially in the older parts of town that are very difficult to build
on or add a detached garage on. Staff is recommending that we roll back the change that were
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 56 / 330
Page 3, City Council Regular Meeting, October 27, 2020
made in 2018 and allow these lots to develop based on the setbacks in each zoning district as we
had for decades prior to the 2018 change. Staff recommended approval. No public testimony was
heard.
ORDINANCES:
#9791 - Consideration of Approving Annexation of Property Located at Capital Avenue
and Engleman Road NWE North Subdivision (Final Reading).
Regional Planner Rashad Moxey reported that Mettenbrink Family Investments LLC, owners of

#9798 - Consideration of Amending Chapter 35, Section 35-30 to Include a Monthly
Meter Charge for a 12-Inch Water Meter
Tim Luchsinger reported the water meter monthly fees, noted in Chapter 35, Section 35-30, of
the Grand Island City Code, were last amended on November 22, 2016, by Ordinance No. 9613.
At that time, the largest meter size in the City was 10-inch. With the recent addition of a 12-inch
meter installed as part of JBS expansion; it is necessary to amend the noted section of code to
facilitate a meter charge for the new meter size. The recommended charge for the new 12-inch
meter size would be set at $5,600.00 per month. This is based on the same weighted, achievable
flow, rate methodology used in the 2016 calculation. Staff recommended approval.

Subject:Change Order #1 for Fire Station 2 Addition Design
Presenter(s):Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Background
In FY 2020-21, an addition to Fire Station 2 was approved as part of the City’s annual

the bids received, Webb and Company Architects, Inc. was selected at a price of
$19,950.00. Since the completion of the initial design, a change order is requested to
amend the roof connection detail. The change in design has an additional cost of
$2,525.00. The total price of architectural services is $22,475.00 and requires Council
approval.
Discussion
Approval of a change order is requested to amend the original design of the Fire Station 2
addition created by Webb and Company Architects, Inc. The change in design involves
the connection between the proposed roofline on the addition to the existing roofline.
There is concern that the connection as initially drawn would increase the chance of
future issues with the fire station roof. The initial design was completed, invoiced, and
paid in FY 2019-20. The invoice was approved on March 5, 2020 and PO 36009 was
issued in the amount of $19,950.00. The requested change order, if approved by Council,
will authorize an additional payment to Webb and Company Architects, Inc. in the
amount of $2,525.00 for the cost of redesign. Funding is available as $350,000.00 was
included in the City’s FY 2020-21 budget for the Fire Station 2 addition.

#2020-276 - Approving Purchase of Two (2) 10 Cubic Yard Dump
Trucks for the Streets Division of the Public Works Department
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 83 / 330
Council Agenda Memo
From: Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting: November 10, 2020
Subject: Approving Purchase of Two (2) 10 Cubic Yard Dump
Trucks 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 two (2) new 10 CY Dump Trucks for the 2020/2021 fiscal year. The new dump trucks will be replacing two existing units in the fleet, Unit 221 and Unit 228.
Unit 221, a 2001 Sterling LT7500 with dump body, has 9,007 hours and repair cost to purchase ratio of 1.59. This unit is primarily used for plowing snow and hauling materials, such as dirt, gravel, street sweepings, hot mix asphalt, and snow.
Unit 221
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 84 / 330
Unit 228, a 2001 Sterling LT7500 with dump body, has 12,768 hours and repair cost to
purchase ratio of 1.73. This unit is primarily used for hauling/spreading hot mix asphalt
for roadway patching and plowing/hauling snow.
Unit 228
Discussion
The specifications for the dump trucks purchased last FY included features the City typically spends time and money installing after the truck is built. This includes flashing & strobe lights and a tarp system that covers the truck box when hauling materials that
can blow out of the box (like leaves and street sweepings) and also 44” tall side walls on
the truck box. The Units will also came installed with new safety features such as back-up camera. This was a good option for the Streets Division as there was virtually no down time once the trucks were received and therefore this same method will be used again.
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. 060920-NVS awarded to Navistar, Inc.; with Hansen
International Truck Inc of Grand Island, NE assigned as our authorized dealer. Per the Sourcewell Contract No. 060920-NVS the price for a new 10 CY dump trucks (2021 International HV607 SBA with dump body), that meets the City’s requirements,
will be $134,866.84. Hansen International is offering $15,000.00 trade value per truck.
The net Capital Equipment Funds required for this purchase will be $239,733.68 (summary below).

2021 INTERNATIONAL® HV™ SERIES
INFORMATION
2021 INTERNATIONAL® HV™ SERIES
Built Smart to Get More Done
DriverFirst™ is our design philosophy. It means we build our trucks around the driver. We’ve pored over every detail of the HV™ Series to make sure it’s
DriverFirst™ in every way.
Diamond logic® electrical system
The International Truck® Diamond Logic® electrical system is considered the most advanced in the industry—and for good reason. Diamond Logic
streamlines chassis and body equipment integration and allows customers to program automated tasks. This means more consistent performance
and increased equipment protection and crew safety.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 87 / 330
More than one way to get the job done.
We know what you’re up against going into a work day — long hours lled with new problems to solve. The HV™ Series makes it easy to tackle them,
with big power under the hood, a durable chassis and the Diamond Logic® Electrical System to bring it all together.
Features may include:
Uptime
Don't sweat the small stuff
The HVAC system is all new and re-engineered from the ground up to provide best-in-class reliability – proven through extensive testing.
Improved wiring
Cab wiring is more reliable with newly designed harnesses, improved termination and a new robust in-cab power distribution module.
Driver-centric design
By drivers, for drivers
To develop the HV™ Series, we listened and learned from hundreds of drivers, leading to design improvements that helped us create a truck
that drivers want to drive.
Column shifter
The new shifter is mounted on the steering column, allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
More space
We increased elbow room, hip room and leg room. For better comfort, we adjusted the armrest height. To improve ingress and egress, we
increased the door’s opening angle.
Durability
The big easy
Keep the routine, routine. Easy to reach dash mounted circuit breakers, no-tools-needed halogen headlamp bulbs and air lter replacements,
plus a full-tilt three-piece hood design increase your productivity and maximize uptime.
Always in control
Roll stability control and dual steering gears for on/off highway conditions reduce steering effort on all types of terrain, regardless of load.
Safety
Air disc brakes
Air disc brakes are now standard for both front and rear applications, air disc brakes provide shorter, surer stops, better braking feel and more
braking power for improved safety. All while offering longer lining and rotor life and requiring less maintenance.
Electronic stability control
Assists in both rollover and vehicle under- and over-steer situations to help maintain a vehicle's lateral stability and steerability. As well as
provides drivers with improved safety and greater condence behind the wheel during heavy and slippery surface braking applications.

Background
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering consulting services for Sanitary
Sewer Rehabilitation- Various Locations of the City was advertised in the Grand Island
Independent on September 3, 2020. The RFQ was also sent to sixteen (16) potential firms
by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
Public Works is taking a proactive approach in rehabilitating sanitary sewer throughout the
City to avoid failures. This project will fix known pipe breaks on sewer mains in difficult
to access locations. The first part of the engineering work will be for investigation and
conceptual design. Various alternatives will be looked at to fix known issues, such as
open cut repairs or pipe lining solutions. Existing conditions of the pipe with video
inspections, local site conditions, and property owners will be reviewed and evaluated.
There will be future amendments for final design, bidding and construction services once
a proper method for repair is established in each of the four (4) locations being evaluated.
Discussion
Two (2) submittals were opened on September 24, 2020, reviewed and scored.
Using the evaluation criteria set out in the Request for Qualifications the submittal from
JEO Consulting Group, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska was scored as the highest ranking
firm. Negotiations with the selected firm resulted in an agreed upon amount of
$28,645.00 for such services.
Funds for the consulting services are in the approved 2020/2021 Wastewater Division

Consulting Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Rehabilitation– Downtown; Project No. 2019-S-1, Phase II
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E.- Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 112 / 330

From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:November 10, 2020
Subject:Approving Amendment No. 3 to Engineering Consulting
Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Rehabilitation– Downtown; Project No. 2019-S-1, Phase
II
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Public Works is taking a proactive approach in rehabilitating sanitary sewer in the
downtown area to avoid failures. Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining with manhole
rehabilitation will be the focus of this project to reinforce structural integrity of the
collection system. Existing pipe segments are within constricted alleyways of the project
boundary, which is Clark Street to the west, South Front Street to the north, Plum Street to
the east, and First Street to the south. Additional failing pieces in the area may be assessed to
determine the best rehabilitation method. Segments are mostly 8-inch pipe, with total length
of approximately 13,000 linear feet.
There are approximately 230 miles of gravity sewer within the City of Grand Island’s
collection system. The majority of this infrastructure is between 26 and 75 years old, and
between 8 and 18 inches in diameter. The majority of the sanitary sewer rehabilitations
are for old clay tile pipe and or damaged / dilapidated manholes.
On November 6, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-337, City Council approved an
agreement with Olsson, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska in the amount of $81,850.00 for
Sanitary Sewer Collection System Rehabilitation- Downtown; Project No. 2019-S-1.
On June 25, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-196, City Council approved Change Order
No. 1 to the original agreement with Olsson, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska in the
amount of $61,063.00, for a revised agreement of $142,913.00. Such change order
allowed for construction administration and observation services for Cured in Place Pipe
(CIPP) lining of sanitary sewer mains in the downtown area.
On August 11, 2020, via Resolution No. 2020-187, City Council approved Change Order
No. 2 to the original agreement with Olsson, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska in the
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 113 / 330
amount of $35,888.00, for a revised agreement of $178,801.00. Such change order
allowed for project design and bid phase services necessary to create documents for the
rehabilitation of the manholes within the project boundary for the above sewer collection
system rehabilitation project. Staff decided to break the collection pipe linings which
were previously completed and the manhole repairs into separate projects to allow for
specialized contractors to bid the projects.
Discussion
Staff is requesting a third amendment to the original agreement, which will allow for
construction observation and closeout of the sanitary sewer manhole rehabilitation
project. Amendment No. 3 will be in the amount of $33,468.00 for a revised agreement
of $212,269.00.
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 Amendment No. 3 to the
original agreement with Olsson, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska, in the amount of
$33,468.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

Meeting:November 10, 2020
Subject:Approving Bid Award for Downtown Sanitary Sewer Manhole
Rehabilitation; Project No. 2020-S-7
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On September 30, 2020 the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department advertised for
bids for Downtown Sanitary Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation; Project No. 2020-S-7.
Public Works is taking a proactive approach in rehabilitating sanitary sewer in the downtown area to
avoid failures. Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining was completed last year in which pipes were lined
to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer pipe structural integrity of the collection system. This portion of
the project will improve the structural stability of the existing brink manholes in this same area. The
project was broken into two (2) parts to maximize the contractor experience of each specialty
operation. This infrastructure is constricted within alleyways and right-of-way of the project
boundary, which is Clark Street to the west, South Front Street to the north, Plum Street to the east,
and First Street to the south. Additional failing pieces in the area may be assessed to determine the
best rehabilitation method. Segments are mostly 8-inch pipe, with total length of approximately
13,000 linear feet.
There are approximately 230 miles of gravity sewer within the City of Grand Island’s collection
system. The majority of this infrastructure is between 26 and 75 years old, and between 8 and 18
inches in diameter. The majority of the sanitary sewer rehabilitations are for old clay tile pipe
and or damaged / dilapidated manholes.
Discussion
Four (4) bids were received and opened on October 28, 2020. The Engineering Division of the
Public Works Department and the Purchasing Division of the City’s Attorney’s Office have
reviewed the bids that were received. A summary of the bids is shown below.

was broken out this way to determine the cost of this operation and to better assess its value.

#2020-282 - Approving Skid Steer Buy-Back for Streets Division
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 132 / 330
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:November 10, 2020
Subject:Approving Skid Steer Buy-Back for Streets Division
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Streets Division currently owns two compact track loaders (skid steers). One
compact track loader is a front line machine for the Streets Division’s concrete repair
crew that is primarily used for concrete removal (sawing, hammering, and excavating).
The other compact track loader is used mainly for asphalt roadway patching by clearing
and loading millings from sections of roadway in preparation for new hot-mix asphalt.
In November of 2014, the City Council approved the purchase of two new skid steers
(one rubber tire and one track loader) and future participation in a buyback program with
Central Nebraska Bobcat of Grand Island, NE. The Buyback program gives the City an
opportunity to own a new machine, at minimal cost, each year lowering the risk of down
time for a key piece of equipment and reducing equipment maintenance costs.
The total cost for both skid steer buybacks is usually between $8,000 and $12,000.
Bobcat has made some design changes on the machines this year and therefore the base
price of the new machines went up significantly. With this design changes, they have also
changed their model numbers. The dealership has ensured us that the price increase from
year to year will even out next year so we do not expect the cost of the buyback program
to increase as much in the next few years.
Examples of Compact Track Loaders
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 133 / 330
Discussion
The Net Cost breakdown for each skid steer is shown in the tables below.
T76 T4 Bobcat Compact Track Loader
New Machine Cost $59,133.64
Trade Value based on Buyback Agreement
(T650 trade model)$46,710.00
Net Purchase Price $12,423.64
T66 (T595) T4 Bobcat Skid Steer Loader
New Machine Cost $53,569.00
Trade Value based on Buyback Agreement
(T595 trade model)$42,504.00
Net Purchase Price $11,065.00
Public Works staff is recommending participation in Bobcat’s buyback program and the
purchase of a new a T76 T4 compact track loader for $59,133.64 with a trade-in value of
$46,710.00 for a net purchase price of $12,423.64 and the purchase of a new T66 T4
compact track loader for $53,569.00 with a trade-in value of $42,504.00 for a net
purchase price of $11,065.00 from Central Nebraska Bobcat of Grand Island, NE.
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 participation in Bobcat’s
buyback program and the purchase of a new a T76 T4 compact track loader for
$59,133.64 with a trade-in value of $46,710.00 for a net purchase price of $12,423.64 and
the purchase of a new T66 T4 compact track loader for $53,569.00 with a trade-in value
of $42,504.00 for a net purchase price of $11,065.00 from Central Nebraska Bobcat of

From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:November 10, 2020
Subject:Approving Temporary Construction Easements for
Sanitary Sewer District No. 544; Ellington Pointe and
Westwood Park Subdivisions
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Sanitary Sewer District No. 544 was continued by City Council through Resolution No.
2020-78 at their March 24, 2020 meeting.
Temporary Construction easements are needed to accommodate the extension of sanitary
sewer to serve an area previously unserved that is located within the new subdivision of
Ellington Pointe and the existing subdivision of Westwood Park (see attached sketch),
which must be approved by City Council. The temporary construction easements will
allow for the installation of sanitary sewer to this area.
Discussion
Temporary construction easements are needed from several property owners for Sanitary
Sewer District No. 544; Ellington Pointe and Westwood Park Subdivisions to be
constructed.
Public Works staff negotiated with the affected property owners for use of the temporary
construction easement area, with the necessary documents signed. The cost for this
easement is for the impacts to the property such as sprinkler systems, landscaping, trees,
moving fences, etc. The homeowners will be responsible for completing these items after
construction of the sanitary sewer system is finished.

desires to have subdivided as a subdivision the foregoing tract of land located within the corporate

as BROOKLYN SUBDIVISION, designating explicitly the land to be laid out and particularly
describing the lots, easements, and streets belonging to such subdivision, with the lots designated by
number, easements by dimensions, and streets by name, and proposes to cause the plat of such
subdivision when finally approved by the Regional Planning Commission and the City Council to be
acknowledged by such owner, certified as to accuracy of survey by a registered land surveyor, and to
contain a dedication of the easements to the use and benefit of public utilities, and of the street to the

1. Paving. The Subdivider agrees to waive the right to object to the creation of

individual water well systems shall be permissible on an initial basis. The Subdivider waives the
right to protest the creation of any future water district within or abutting the subdivision.

perform such work. The Subdivider agrees to waive the right to object to the creation of any
drainage district benefitting the subdivision.
5. Sidewalks. Immediate sidewalk construction adjacent to Saint Paul Road
shall be waived. However, the sidewalks shall be constructed when the property owner is directed to
do so by the City Council. In the event a Street Improvement District is created to pave any public
street in the subdivision, the Subdivider agrees to install public sidewalks within one year of the
completion of such street improvement district in accordance with the City of Grand Island Sidewalk
Policy.
The Subdivider shall maintain all public sidewalks required by the City of Grand Island.

Meeting:November 10, 2020
Subject:Approving Agreement CDBG #2019-4-CV with YMCA
Presenter(s):Amber Alvidrez, Community Development
Administrator
Background
In response to the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19), the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) program has notified each Entitlement community, that they will receive a
formula allocation from the first round of CDBG-CV funding to be used specifically for
the prevention of, preparation for, and response to the COVID-19. This allocation was
authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act),
Public Law 116-136, which was signed on March 27, 2020. The City of Grand was
awarded $251,459.00 of CDBG-CV funds to implement or award to sub-grantees to
implement programs that prepare, prevent or respond to COVID-19.
Discussion
The Community Development Division recommends awarding $12,000 of the CDBG-
CV funds to the YMCA to implement a Coronavirus Response program. YMCA will use
these funds in order to provide safe and sanitary facilities for their daycare center, clients
and vulnerable population groups that use the YMCA throughout the day. The YMCA
will provide Masks to employees and clients as well as use funds to obtain cleaning
supplies and sanitizers.

authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act),
Public Law 116-136, which was signed on March 27, 2020. The City of Grand was
awarded $251,459.00 of CDBG-CV funds to implement or award to sub-grantees to
implement programs that prepare, prevent or respond to COVID-19.
Discussion
The Community Development Division recommends awarding $30,000 of the CDBG-
CV funds to The YWCA to implement the Women’s Empowerment Center to women
that are currently unemployed or lost job opportunities due to COVID-19. The program
will consist of cohorts of up to 20 women completing a 4-week program that includes a
variety of training options taught by staff and/or volunteers; training options will include
(but are not limited to): cover letter and resume writing, interview skills, job market
navigation, local educational opportunities, financial independence, community
resources, confidence building, and stress management. While women are enrolled in the
program they will be offered free childcare, have aid in finding or obtaining appropriate
interview attire, and an individualized plan for transportation to and from work or
programs. Graduates will also receive support from program staff for 3 months after
completion.

property for the changed use if the Sub recipients CDBG program is reimbursed
in the amount of the current fair market value of the property, less any portion of
the value attributable to expenditures of non-CDBG funds for acquisition of, and
improvements to, the property.
a) The Indenture of Restrictive Covenants shall terminate in the year

3. “Section 3” Clause
a. Compliance
Compliance with the provisions of Section 3 of the HUD Act of
1968, as amended (12 USC 1701u), and as implemented by the
regulations set forth in 24 CFR 135, and all applicable rules and orders
issued hereunder prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be a
condition of the federal financial assistance provided under this

of the Sub recipient’s sub recipients and subcontractors, their successors
and assigns, to those sanctions specified by the Agreement through which
federal assistance is provided. The Sub recipient certifies and hereby

compliance with these requirements.
The Sub recipient further agrees to comply with these “Section 3”
requirements and to include the following language in all subcontracts
executed under this Agreement: “The work to be performed under this
Agreement is a project assisted under a program providing direct federal
financial assistance from HUD and is subject to the requirements of
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as
amended (12 U.S.C. 1701). Section 3 requires that to the greatest extent
feasible opportunities for training and employment be given to low and
very low-income residents of the project area, and that contracts for work
in connection with the project be awarded to business concerns that
provide economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons
residing in the metropolitan area in which the project is located.”
The Sub recipient further agrees to ensure that opportunities for
training and employment arising in connection with a housing rehabilitation
(including reduction and abatement of lead-based paint hazards), housing
construction, or other public construction project are given to low- and very
low-income persons residing within the metropolitan area in which the
CDBG funded project is located; where feasible, priority should be given to
low-and very low-income persons within the service area of the project or
the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low- and very low-
income participants in other HUD programs; and award contracts for work
undertaken in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including reduction
and abatement of lead based paint hazards), housing construction, or
other public construction project to business concerns that provide

economic opportunities for low-and very low-income persons residing
within the metropolitan area in which the CDBG funded project is located;
where feasible, priority should be given to business concerns that provide
economic opportunities to low- and very low income residents within the
service area or the neighborhood in which the project is located and to
low-and very low-income participants in other HUD programs. The Sub
recipient certifies and agrees that no contractual or other legal incapacity
exists that would prevent compliance with these requirements.
b. Subcontracts
The Sub recipient will include this Section 3 clause in every
subcontract and will take appropriate action pursuant to the subcontract
upon a finding that the subcontractor is in violation of regulations issued
by the grantor agency. The Sub recipient will not subcontract with any

subcontract unless the entity has first provided it with a preliminary
statement of ability to comply with the requirements of these regulations.

Subject:Approve Design Services for JBS Trail Expansion
Presenter:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
JBS donated $1,000,000 to the City of Grand Island to build a new playground at the

funding for this project comes from a recent JBS Hometown Strong initiative to support
local communities.
The John Brownell Beltline Trail currently ends at Cherry Street in east Grand Island.
The proposed new 10’ wide concrete trail will be approximately one mile extending the
existing trail east and ending at the JBS plant. The trail extension project is listed as a
Phase I “Priority Trail” in the recent Grand Island Metropolitan Area Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan because of its added safety, connectivity, and anticipated high
use. The estimated cost of the project is $550,000 - $650,000.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 309 / 330

rules and regulations respecting its property and the
conduct of its employees thereon.

the performance of the work and obligations hereunder,
Consultant shall be and remain an independent Consultant

general liability and commercial automobile liability
insurance policies and that the coverage afforded Client

its partners, successors, executors, administrators,
assigns, and legal representatives to the other party to this
Agreement and to the partners, successors, executors,
administrators, assigns, and legal representatives of such
other party, in respect to all covenants, agreements, and
obligations of this Agreement.
4.3.2 Neither Consultant nor Client shall assign or
transfer any rights under or interest in (including, but without
limitation, moneys that may become due or moneys that are
due) this Agreement without the written consent of the other
party, except as stated in paragraph 4.3.1 and except to the
extent that the effect of this limitation may be restricted by
law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written
consent to an assignment, no assignment will release or

prevent Consultant from employing such independent
consultants, associates, and subconsultants as it may
deem appropriate to assist in the performance of services
hereunder.
4.3.3 Nothing herein shall be construed to give any
rights or benefits hereunder to any one other than Client
and Consultant except as otherwise provided herein.

subconsultants to comply with, applicable Federal, state,
and local laws, orders, rules, and regulations in effect at the

represent or warrant that said permit or approval will be
issued by any governmental body.
4.4.2 Neither the Consultant nor the Consultant's
agents or employees shall discriminate against any
employee or applicant for employment to be employed in

4.5.1 All drawings, specifications, test reports, and
other materials and work products which have been

necessary for the Consultant to perform the services
requested hereunder.

other materials and work products, including computer
aided drawings, designs, and other data filed on electronic
media which will be prepared or furnished by Consultant
(and Consultant's independent professional associates and
subconsultants) under this Agreement, are instruments of
service in respect to the Project and Consultant shall retain
an ownership and property interest therein whether or not
the Project is completed. Client may make and retain
copies for information and reference in connection with the
use and the occupancy of the Project by Client and others;
however, such documents are not intended or represented
to be suitable for reuse by Client or others acting on behalf
of Client on extensions of the Project or on any other
project. Further, Consultant makes no warranty as to the
compatibility of computer data files with computer software
and software releases other than that used by Consultant
in performing services herein, and to the condition or
availability of the computer data after an acceptance period
of thirty (30) days from delivery to Client. Any reuse without
written verification or adaptation by Consultant for the
specific purpose intended will be at Client's sole risk and
without liability or legal exposure to Consultant or to
Consultant's independent professional associates or
subconsultants, and Client shall indemnify and hold
harmless Consultant and Consultant's independent
professional associates and subconsultants from all claims,
damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys' fees
arising out of or resulting therefrom. Any such verification
or adaptation will entitle Consultant to further compensation
at rates to be agreed upon by Client and Consultant.
4.6 Consultant's Personnel at Project Site
4.6.1 The presence or duties of the Consultant
personnel at a Project site, whether as onsite
representatives or otherwise, do not make the Consultant
or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that
belong to the Client and/or the construction contractors or
other entities, and do not relieve the construction
contractors or any other entity of their obligations, duties,
and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all
construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and
procedures necessary for coordinating and completing all
portions of the construction work in accordance with the
project documents and any health or safety precautions
required by such construction work. The Consultant and its
personnel have no authority to exercise any control over
any construction contractor or other entity or their
employees in connection with their work or any health or
safety precautions and have no duty for inspecting, noting,
observing, correcting, or reporting on health or safety
deficiencies of the construction contractor or other entity or
any other persons at the site except Consultant's own
personnel.

submitted by the Contractor, and (2) defects and
deficiencies observed in the Work. Consultant neither
guarantees the performance of the contractor(s) nor
assumes responsibility for contractor(s)' failure to perform
their work in accordance with the project documents.

November 2019
4.7 Opinions of Cost, Financial Considerations, and
Schedules
In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic
feasibility projections, and schedules for the Project, the
Consultant has no control over the cost of labor, materials,
equipment, or services furnished by others, or over the
Contractor(s)' methods of determining prices, or over
competitive bidding or market conditions. Consultant's
opinions of probable Total Project Costs and Construction
Costs provided for herein as appropriate are made on the
basis of Consultant's experience and qualifications and
represent Consultant's judgments as an experienced and
qualified professional consultant familiar with the
construction industry. Consultant makes no warranty that
the Client's actual Total Project or Construction Costs,
financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will not
vary from the Consultant's opinions, analyses, projections,
or estimates. If Client wishes greater assurance as to any
element of the Total Project or Construction cost, feasibility,
or schedule, Client will employ an independent cost
estimator, contractor, or other appropriate advisor.
4.8 Discovery of Unanticipated Pollutant and
Hazardous Substance Risks
4.8.1 If Consultant, while performing the services,
discovers pollutants and/or hazardous substances that
pose unanticipated risks, it is hereby agreed that the scope
of services, schedule, and the estimated cost of
Consultant's services will be reconsidered and that this
Agreement shall immediately become subject to
renegotiation or termination.
4.8.2 In the event that the Agreement is terminated
because of the discovery of pollutants and/or hazardous
substances posing unanticipated risks, it is agreed that
Consultant shall be paid for its total charges for labor
performed and reimbursable charges incurred to the date of
termination of this Agreement, including, if necessary, any
additional labor or reimbursable charges incurred in
demobilizing.
4.8.3 Client also agrees that the discovery of
unanticipated pollutants and/or hazardous substances may
make it necessary for Consultant to take immediate
measures to protect health and safety. Consultant agrees
to notify Client as soon as practically possible should
unanticipated pollutants and/or hazardous substances be
suspected or encountered. Client authorizes Consultant to
take measures that in Consultant's sole judgment are
justified to preserve and protect the health and safety of
Consultant's personnel and the public. Client agrees to
compensate Consultant for the additional cost of taking
such additional precautionary measures to protect
employees' and the public's health and safety. This section
is not intended to impose upon Consultant any duties or
obligations other than those imposed by law.
SECTION 5 - Professional Responsibility
5.1 Performance of Services
Consultant shall perform its services consistent with the
professional skill and care ordinarily provided by firms
practicing in the same or similar locality under the same or
similar circumstances (hereinafter the “Standard of Care”).
Consultant expressly disclaims all express or implied
warranties and guarantees with respect to the performance
of professional services, and it is agreed that the quality of
such services shall be judged solely as to whether the
services were performed consistent with the Standard of
Care. Consultant owes Client only that level of performance
defined in this Section 5.1, and nothing herein shall be
construed as creating a fiduciary relationship.
If at any time prior to construction Client believes
Consultant’s services are deficient due to not meeting the
Standard of Care, Client must immediately inform
Consultant in writing and shall afford Consultant the
opportunity to correct such deficiency. If, upon review by
Consultant it is determined there is a deficiency that fails to
meet the standard of care and it is attributable to
Consultant, the deficiency shall be corrected at no
additional cost to Client.
5.2 Limitation of Liability
Client and Consultant agree to allocate certain of the risks
so that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant's
total liability to Client is limited to the amount paid under the
contract or $50,000 whichever is greater, this being the
Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any and all injuries,
damages, claims, losses, expenses, or claim expenses
(including attorney's fees) arising out of this Agreement
from any cause or causes. Such causes include, but are
not limited to, Consultant's negligence, errors, omissions,
strict liability, breach of contract, or breach of warranty.
5.3 No Special or Consequential Damages
Client and Consultant agree that to the fullest extent
permitted by law neither party shall be liable to the other for
any special, indirect, or consequential damages
whatsoever, whether caused by either party's negligence,
errors, omissions, strict liability, breach of contract, breach
of warranty, or other cause or causes.
5.4 Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Client and Consultant
mutually agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and
expenses, defense costs including reasonable attorneys'
fees, and court or arbitration costs and other liabilities
arising from their own negligent acts, errors or omissions in
performance of their services under this Agreement, but
only to the extent caused that each party is responsible for
such damages, liabilities and costs on a comparative basis
of fault.
5.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries
Client and Consultant expressly agree that this Agreement
does not confer upon any third party any rights as
beneficiary to this Agreement. Consultant accepts no
responsibility for damages, if any, suffered by any third
party as the result of a third party's use of the work product,
including reliance, decisions, or any other action taken
based upon it.
Client agrees that Consultant's services and work products
are for the exclusive present use of Client. Client agrees
Grand Island Council Session - 11/10/2020 Page 316 / 330
Std Client Consulting Agrmnt
November 2019
that Consultant's compliance with any request by Client to
address or otherwise release any portion of the work
product to a third party shall not modify, rescind, waive, or
otherwise alter provisions of this Agreement nor does it
create or confer any third party beneficiary rights on any
third party.

Any notice to either party herein shall be in writing and shall
be served either personally or by registered or certified mail
addressed to the signing party shown on the signature

of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this

6.4 Severability

for any reason to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not
affect any other provision, and this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.
6.5 Dispute Resolution
If negotiation in good faith fails to resolve a dispute within
thirty (30) days of written notice of the dispute by either
party, then the parties agree that, with the exception of
claims that are subject to the applicable venue’s small
claims court jurisdiction, each dispute, claim or controversy
arising from or related to this Agreement or the relationships
which result from this Agreement shall be subject to
mediation as a condition precedent to initiating legal or
equitable actions by either party. Unless the parties agree
otherwise, the mediation shall be in accordance with the
Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American
Arbitration Association then currently in effect. A request for
mediation shall be filed in writing with the American
Arbitration Association and the other party. No legal or
equitable action may be instituted for a period of ninety (90)
days from the filing of the request for mediation unless a
longer period of time is provided by agreement of the
parties. Cost of mediation shall be shared equally between
the parties and shall be held in a location mutually agreed
upon by the parties. The parties shall memorialize any
agreement resulting from the mediation in a mediated
settlement agreement, which agreement shall be
enforceable as a settlement in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.

continue diligently to fulfill their respective obligations
hereunder. Any dispute not resolved through mediation

Consultant will, in the performance of this Agreement,
comply with federal, state, and local laws, and all
regulations and orders issued under any applicable law
related to equal employment opportunity, non-
discrimination, or employment generally.

contract with a non-legal resident of the United States to
perform work under this Agreement, and verifies or
attempts to verify employee eligibility of its employees
through participation in the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security and Social Security Administration’s E-Verify
system.
6.7 Governing Law
This Agreement is to be governed by the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the project is located. For locations
outside of the United States, this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
6.8 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, along with those documents specified,
attached, or hereby cited together, and serially numbered
Work Authorizations if used, constitute the entire
Agreement between the parties hereto and no changes,
modifications, extensions, terminations, or waivers of this
Agreement, or other documents, or any of the provisions

SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR SURVEY, ENVIRONMENTAL OR GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
Supplemental Condition is incorporated herein when the applicable box is checked.
S.1 Location of Underground Utilities
It shall be the Client's responsibility to locate and
physically mark all underground utilities and structures
which lie within the work area prior to the start of
subsurface investigations. If the Client elects not to
assume this responsibility, Client shall notify
Consultant and shall compensate Consultant for all
costs associated with locating and physically marking
said underground utilities and structures over and
above the estimated project fee. Client shall indemnify
and hold Consultant harmless from any damages and
delays resulting from unmarked or improperly marked
underground utilities and structures. For reasons of
safety, Consultant will not begin work until this has
been accomplished.
S.2 Subsurface Investigations
In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other
subsurface investigations, the actual characteristics
might vary significantly between successive test points
and sample intervals and at locations other than where
observations, exploration, and investigations have
been made. Because of the inherent uncertainties in
subsurface evaluations, changed or unanticipated
underground conditions may occur that could affect
Project cost and/or execution. These conditions and
cost/execution effects are not the responsibility of the
Consultant.
S.3 Disposition of Samples and Equipment
S.3.1 Disposition of Samples
No samples and/or materials will be kept by Consultant
longer than thirty (30) days after submission of the final
report unless agreed otherwise.
S.3.2 Hazardous or Potentially Hazardous
Samples and Materials
In the event that samples and/or materials contain or
are suspected to contain substances or constituents
hazardous or detrimental to health, safety, or the
environment as defined by federal, state, or local
statutes, regulations, or ordinances, Consultant will,
after completion of testing, return such samples and
materials to Client, or have the samples and materials
disposed of in accordance with Client’s directions and
all applicable laws. Client agrees to pay all costs
associated with the storage, transportation, and
disposal of samples and materials. Client recognizes
and agrees that Consultant at no time assumes title to
said samples and materials, and shall have no
responsibility as a handler, generator, operator,
transporter, or disposer of said samples and materials.
S.3.3 Contaminated Equipment
All laboratory and field equipment contaminated in
Consultant's performance of services will be cleaned at
Client's expense. Contaminated consumables will be
disposed of and replaced at Client's expense.
Equipment (including tools) which cannot be
reasonably decontaminated shall become the property
and responsibility of Client. At Client's expense, such
equipment shall be delivered to Client, or disposed of
in the same manner specified in S.3.2 above. Client
agrees to pay Consultant the fair market value of any
such equipment which cannot reasonably be
decontaminated and is delivered to Client pursuant to
this Agreement.

Scope of Services
JBS Connector Trail
TASK 1. Design
a. Project Management
Benesch Project Manager will serve as point of contact, maintain project schedule and budget,
and be responsible for coordinating work. The PM will work closely with the Public Works Parks
and Recreation Department to streamline the trail project delivery.
b. Topographic Survey
Benesch will complete a legal ownership research for the adjacent landowners along the
proposed trail routes. Benesch will then perform the necessary topographic ground survey to
confirm horizontal and vertical control, confirmation of section and property corners and general
topographic survey within the ROW and easement areas along the proposed trail alignment. A
topographic survey will be performed using the latest GPS technology. Natural topographic
features and man-made features will be recorded by coordinates to the nearest one-tenth (0.1)
of a foot. All such topographic features, which are pertinent to the design or are necessary to
properly show the effect of the proposed work upon the adjoining property and/or
improvements, will be recorded. Benesch shall provide a list of horizontal control points with
coordinates, descriptions, station and offset. Horizontal control will be referenced to the Hall
County LTE using known land survey monuments provided by the City of Grand Island.
Vertical control will be completed by differential level circuit referenced to NAVD 88. Ties to
control used for City of Grand Island projects in the area can be done for “design-fit”
confirmation. Benesch will survey section corners in order to assemble the geometry to create
the right-of-way drawings and confirm any locations already established by the City of Grand
Island. Utilities will be drawn from surveying above ground features, including markings by
utility companies resulting from the locate request. Information supplied by utility companies
will be used to complete the placement of existing utilities on the plans. Locations from utility
plans will be transferred into the topographic survey. Where available, above-ground features
will be used to improve accuracy. Benesch will add a disclaimer to the drawings with respect to
the undetermined location of underground utilities. Benesch will add additional information to
the established base map from the City of Grand Island using any new topographic survey
data.
c. Conceptual Design
Benesch will begin by utilizing the property ownership researched in the topographic survey to
assist in the route selection. Benesch will utilize existing GIS data to do conceptual designs of
the trail and lighting. Benesch will provide conceptual designs for alternative analysis to
provide a mechanism to select the alternative with the best performance, most acceptance and
reasonable cost. One preferred route will be moved forward for final design.
d. Geotechnical Evaluation
It is expected up to four (4) soil test borings will be taken with the project at locations within the
proposed trail alignment area. The fee associated with these borings assumes the project site
is easily accessible for truck-mounted drilling equipment and rights of access can be obtained
from adjacent owners. If traffic control is required, it would be provided by the City. These test
borings will be in accordance with schedules located in the most recent NDOT Geotechnical
Policy and Procedures Manual.

Page 2 of 6
The borings will be located along the trail alignment where cut of fill is expected for construction
of the trail. Each boring will be drilled to a maximum depth of 10 feet below the existing ground
surface. Shelby tube samples will be taken beneath the existing topsoil and Standard
Penetration tests will be performed at 5-foot increments to the base of each boring. Laboratory
testing will be performed to assist with classification and consistency of subgrade materials.
Benesch shall prepare geotechnical recommendations for the primary purpose of developing
geotechnical design criteria for use in designing the subgrade preparation and determination of
the pavement section for the project. Benesch shall prepare and submit an electronic copy of
the geotechnical report to the City Project Manager for review.
e. Preliminary Design (50%+)
Benesch will design the trail and lighting. Benesch shall prepare project base files and plan
sheets following the standard layout appearance of City of Grand Island documents. Design is

f. Cost Estimates
Benesch shall prepare an updated total project cost estimate. This shall include Preliminary
Engineering, ROW acquisition, Construction, and Construction Engineering on the appropriate
forms. Cost Estimates will be provided at the conceptual, 50% design and 90-100% design.
g. Row and Public Involvement
Benesch will participate in ROW and public involvement meetings. Benesch will work closely
with the City staff to provide project and easement information to the affected property owners.
Benesch to utilize the City’s Project Manager to assist with property owner communications.
h. Final Design
Benesch will finalize the plan/profile construction plans and specifications. Benesch shall
prepare project base files and plan sheets following the standard layout appearance of City of
Grand Island documents. Design and a reliable cost estimate of overall construction costs for
this project. Benesch will develop a storm water pollution prevention plan and a Notice of Intent
to discharge storm water from a construction site for submittal to the Nebraska Department of
environmental Quality. Benesch will provide the easement exhibits and collaborate with City
staff to obtain the remaining paperwork and signatures needed. Plan sheets to be included in
the final submittal include the following:
