Staff Contact: Chad Nabity
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 10 / 204
Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Annexation of Property at 1118 N. North Road (Lot 1 of
Hanover 2nd Subdivision)
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP
Background
The property at 1118 N. North Road consists of 1 single family home on 0.62 acres of
property surrounded by the City of Grand Island on 3 sides - the north, south and west.
There is a house to the south, Fire Station 4 to the north and a new subdivision to the
west. The property is connected to city water and has city sewer available. The city of
Grand Island maintains North Road to the east of the property.
Annexation of this property will facilitate the development of new and efficient election
precincts and the planning department has received a request from the Hall County
Election Commissioner to bring this item to the City Council for consideration.
At the August 10, 2021 meeting of the Grand Island City Council a resolution was passed
indicating intent to annex property at 1118 N. North Road. The resolution also set the
public hearing for annexation for September 14, 2021 and directed the planning
department and other city staff as follows:
to proceed with preparing annexation plans (as required and defined by statute),
to notify property owners and school districts as required by law, and
to forward the annexation plans to the Regional Planning Commission for review
The annexation plan is complete and was considered by the Regional Planning
Commission after a public hearing at their meeting held September 1, 2021. This plan is
available on the Grand Island City Website and from either the City Clerk or Regional
Planning Department.
A map of the property and the annexation plan is attached.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 11 / 204
Discussion
Nebraska Revised Statute §16-117 provides for the process of annexation. Council
approved Resolution #2021-200 on August 10, 2021 stating their intent to annex this
property. An annexation plan has been prepared by staff and referred to the Regional
Planning Commission for recommendation.
From the September 1, 2021 Planning Commission Meeting:
Public Hearing – Annexation of 1118 N. North Road – Grand Island – Public
Hearing regarding the annexation plan for property located at 1118 N. North Road
O’Neill opened the public hearing:
Nabity stated the property is a single house located south of the fire station.
Nabity explained that the property was not included when the subdivision to the
south was done or when redevelopment of house to the south. All the property
around this property was annexed. This property is the only piece that is not
considered city limits. It is adjacent to the fire station. If there is a fire at the house
Grand Island Fire Department will respond. City sewer will be available in the
near future and the house is connected to city water. This annexation was
requested by Hall County Election Commissioner to protect the integrity and
confidentiality of ballots and simplify drawing election precinct boundaries. No
comment was made by the property owner.
O’Neill closed the public hearing:
A motion was made by Rainforth and second by Allan to approve the annexation
of property located at 1118 N. North Road and it is also urban and suburban in
nature and contiguous with city limits and city infrastructure is in place.
The motion was carried with seven members voting yes (Nelson, Allan, O’Neill,
Ruge, Rainforth, Hendrickesen and Randone) with no members voting no.
Annexation ordinances must be read on three separate occasions.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the Ordinance on Final Reading
2.Choose not to approve the Ordinance.
3.Modify the ordinance to change the areas under consideration for annexation.
4.Postpone the issue
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 12 / 204

#9853 - Consideration of an Ordinance to Vacate Highland Park
Subdivision (Second and Final Reading)
Staff Contact: Chad Nabity

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Request to Vacate Highland Park Subdivision
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
The owners of all of the property encompassed by Highland Park Subdivision have
requested that the City vacate the Highland Park Subdivision and all dedicated rights of
way and easements. This subdivision was platted and filed in November of 1961 dividing
the property south of Old Potash Highway and west of Engleman Road into lots, blocks
and streets. There is no record of approval of the plat by Hall County at that time. The
property was farmed before the plat was filed and has been under common ownership and
farmed since 1961. No improvements for streets or utilities have been made within the
subdivision since it was filed.
Discussion
This request was made to facilitate the extension of the Northwestern Energy gas line
around the perimeter of the City of Grand Island. No improvements have been made to
this property to support the subdivision. No development has occurred on the property
and the development as shown would be detrimental to traffic flow along Old Potash
Highway and Engleman Road.
Staff is suggesting that the City right of way as shown for both Old Potash Highway and
Engleman Road.
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
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 50 / 204
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the ordinance to vacate
Highland Park Subdivision retaining the 33 foot of right of way along the south side of
Old Potash Highway and the west side of Engleman Road.
Sample Motion
Move to approve as recommended.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Renewable Energy Certificate Purchase and Sale Agreement -
Evergy
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Included in the Grand Island Utilities Department’s generation portfolio are several wind
facilities, primarily the Prairie Breeze III project. Part of the decision to enter into these projects
was in anticipation of implementation of the federal government’s proposed Clean Power Plan,
in which renewable energy credits (REC’s) from wind generation projects could be used to offset
carbon dioxide emissions from a utility’s fossil fueled generation source. Implementation of this
plan did not occur; however, the Utilities Department has been accruing RECs and will continue
to do so until possible regulations will require their use. There is a demand and a market for
RECs, primarily from utilities that operate in states or regions that have renewable energy
standards or from corporate mandates for reducing their carbon footprint. Looking for expertise
in marketing our RECs, Utilities Department management staff developed a Request for
Proposals for Renewable Energy Credit Marketing Services in accordance with City
procurement policies.
Discussion
Two proposals were received, however, only the proposal from Evergy Energy Partners met the
REC marketing requirements of the RFP. Several options were discussed with Evergy with the
intent on obtaining an equitable price for the RECs, while minimizing any risk to the Utilities
Department. The option agreed upon involves Evergy purchasing the majority of the anticipated
RECs produced by Prairie Breeze III for the years 2022 through 2024, and marketing the sale of
RECs produced above this amount and the historical RECs already in the Utilities Department’s
account for a commission fee. The Renewable Energy Certificate Purchase and Sale Agreement
with Evergy Kansas Central, Inc., is recommended by Utilities Department and Legal staff to be
approved for execution by the mayor.

Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Renewable Energy Certificate
Purchase and Sale Agreement with Evergy Kansas Central, Inc., for execution by the Mayor.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Renewable Energy Certificate Purchase and Sale Agreement with Evergy
Kansas Central, Inc., for execution by the Mayor.

Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Amendment No. 1 to Renewable Energy Credit Purchase and
Agreement – City of Nebraska City
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
On June 9, 2015, Council approved execution of a Power Purchase Agreement with Invenergy
Inc., for the Prairie Breeze III (PBIII) Wind Energy Project. On September 8, 2015, Council
approved an agreement with the City of Nebraska City for the sale of approximately 19.55% of
the PBIII output including the Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s). Currently, the Grand Island
Utilities Department is maintaining Nebraska City’s RECs in a subaccount of the Grand Island
Utilities Department’s REC registry account. Discussions by the Grand Island Utilities
Department with Nebraska City Utilities management resulted in the request by Nebraska City to
participate in the Grand Island Utilities Department’s REC marketing process. A separate item
for consideration by Council on tonight’s meeting is an agreement with Evergy for the purchase
and sale of RECs by the Department’s wind facilities, including PBIII.
Discussion
Based on the recommendation of Fraser Stryker, the outside legal counsel used in the original
agreement with the PBIII power purchase agreement and the Nebraska city sale agreement, an
amendment to the Nebraska City agreement, authorizing Grand Island to include Nebraska City
RECs in the Evergy agreement with the revenue realized on transactions to be returned to
Nebraska City, was drafted. Grand Island Utilities Department and Legal staff recommend
approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Renewable Energy Credit Purchase and Sale Agreement
executed with the City of Nebraska City.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

#2021-266 - Approving Purchase of a New Ford F150 Pickup
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 110 / 204
Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Purchase of a New Ford F150 Pickup
Presenter(s):Chief Tim Hiemer, Fire Division
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department’s goal is to maintain its fleet of vehicles to insure as
long of service life as possible. The Grand Island Fire Department (GIFD) also subscribes
to a fleet replacement program that uses a lifecycle cost analysis and replaces the vehicle
once the total maintenance cost has reached 100% of the current retail value of the
vehicle. At this point the cost of ownership would be more than what the vehicle is worth.
The current 2012 Ford F250 Pickup has reached this point.
Discussion
The Grand Island Fire Department requests approval to purchase a 2022 Ford F150
Pickup with the Special Service Vehicle (SSV) package at a cost of $35,302 utilizing
State bid. The SSV package is designed for the public safety sector and has upgrade
electrical system, heavy duty cooling and suspension, and is prewired for some
emergency lighting. The State bid is from Anderson Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda
of Lincoln, NE. State bid contract number 15420 OC.
The GIFD’s approved FY2021-22 capital budget included funds to replace a 2012 Ford
F250 Pickup. The 2012 Ford F250 Pickup is currently utilized by the battalion chiefs as
an emergency response vehicle and its reliability is paramount. If this purchased is
approved by Council, the current vehicle will be utilized as a back battalion chief vehicle
and will primarily serve in a utility type role to transfer equipment and personnel in a
non-emergent fashion as well as for snow removal.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 111 / 204
2.Refer the issue to a Committee

City Administration recommends that the Council approves the purchase of a 2022 Ford
F150 Pickup, utilizing State bid from Anderson Ford in Lincoln, NE for the amount of
$35,302.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the purchase of a Ford F150 SSV Pickup for the Grand Island Fire
Department at the cost of $35,302 from State bid.

Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Bid Award for Fire Station 1 Boiler Replacement
Presenter(s):Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Background
The fire department’s FY 2021-22 capital budget included $75,000 to replace the boilers
at fire station 1. Over the last several years, the fire department has struggled to keep the
boiler system operating. Due to the reoccurring issues, as well as obsolete parts, it was
recommended by a local HVAC company to replace the boilers system before it fails.
The boilers are the sole heating source for Fire Station 1.
Discussion
Requests for proposals (RFP) were advertised to solicit bids to replace the boilers at Fire
Station 1. When the RFP period closed, four bids were received. After reviewing the
proposals, it is the recommendation of fire administration to accept the bid from
Nebraska Heat & Air, Inc. of Central City, Nebraska. Their bid was the lowest priced
option at $62,873.25.
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 Council approve the bid award to Nebraska Heat &
Air, Inc. in the amount of $62,873.25 to replace the boilers at Fire Station 1.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the acceptance of the bid from Nebraska Heat & Air, Inc. in the amount
of $62,873.25 to replace the boilers at Fire Station 1.

Subject:Approving Award of Professional Engineering
Consulting Services for Lift Station No. 28 Equalization
Tank; Project No. 2022-S-3
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering consulting services for Lift Station
No. 28 Equalization Tank; Project No. 2022-S-3 was advertised in the Grand Island
Independent on July 9, 2021. The RFQ was also sent to sixteen (16) potential firms by the
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
Lift Station No. 28 Equalization Tank; Project No. 2022-S-3 is for the construction of a
new sanitary sewer pump station and buffer tank that will extend the useful life of
existing Lift Station No. 28 by effectively improving its peak capacity. Lift Station No.
28 is located northeast of the intersection of Husker Highway/James Road. Based on a
2021 update to the 2014 Wastewater Collection System Master Plan, the pipes directly
upstream of Lift Station No. 28 will surcharge in peak capacity events in the near future.
Several options were evaluated to solve this problem, with the most effective treatment
being to install an extra pump station and a storage tank to essentially increase peak
pump capacity by pumping the additional flow into a storage tank and discharging stored
wastewater when downstream system capacity allows. Along with a new pump station
and storage tank, a control system will be required to control operations. Associated
paving, sidewalk, traffic control and all other items needed to complete the project will be
included.
Discussion
One (1) submittal was opened on July 29, 2021, reviewed and scored.
Using the evaluation criteria set out in the Request for Qualifications the submittal from
Olsson, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska was scored as the highest ranking firm.
Negotiations with the selected firm resulted in an agreed upon amount of $36,700.00 for
such services.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 137 / 204
Funds for the consulting services are in the approved 2021/2022 Wastewater Division
budget.

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 the Council approve the award of Professional

2022-S-3 to Olsson, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska for an amount not to exceed
$36,700.00.

Independent on July 9, 2021. The RFQ was also sent to sixteen (16) potential firms by the
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
The City is taking a proactive approach in rehabilitating sanitary sewer areas prior to any
major failures. This project will focus on an area north of the Union Pacific Railroad
(UPRR) tracks in the area around Broadwell Avenue and North Front Street. This pipe is
primarily clay tile. Spot locations will be evaluated for sanitary sewer rehabilitation, with
the thought that cured in place pipe (CIPP) will be the ideal solution as existing pipe
segments are mostly within constricted areas, however other solutions may be
considered. Manhole rehabilitation may also be completed if needed to reinforce
structural integrity.
Discussion
Three (3) submittals were opened on July 29, 2021, reviewed and scored.
Using the evaluation criteria set out in the Request for Qualifications the submittal from

is planned, which will collect sewage currently flowing to Lift Station No. 1 from the east
side of Broadwell Avenue. This will allow for the abandonment of the sewer that
currently flows under Broadwell Avenue and the Ace Hardware building. As part of this
project, sanitary sewer service for the Ace Hardware building will need to be constructed,
which will more than likely utilize a commercial package lift station which would
discharge to the sanitary sewer south of 3rd Street. If this work is unfeasible, an
alternative plan may be pursued. The associated paving, sidewalk, traffic control, and all
other items needed to complete the project will also be included.

Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering consulting services for Moores
Creek Drainage Culvert Extension and Detention Cell; Project No. 2021-D-2 was
advertised in the Grand Island Independent on July 9, 2021. The RFQ was also sent to
sixteen (16) potential firms by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
This project will plan, design and build two (2) small projects as part of the larger
Moores Creek Drainage Extension project. The extension of Moores Creek Drainage
system was investigated in a 2017 engineering study that was completed by JEO for the
City of Grand Island. This study was based on a past Central Platte Natural Resources
District (CPNRD) drainage plan for Grand Island and focused on hydrologic sizing and
operation of Moores Creek drainage ditch to serve current areas of southwest Grand
Island, as well as the proposed US Highway 30 realignment project. A partial design was
completed and the City coordinated with the Nebraska Department of Transportation
(NDOT) to incorporate provisions for the drain extension in the US Highway 30
Realignment project.
The two (2) small projects to be designed and constructed consist of the culvert extension
of the ditch under Engleman Road near the Grand Island Utilities water storage tower,
and the detention cell on the southwest corner of Old Potash Highway and North Road.
Discussion
Three (3) submittals were opened on July 29, 2021, reviewed and scored.

2017-WWTP-2
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On April 14, 2020, via Resolution No. 2020-95, City Council approved the bid award to
Sampson Construction Co., Inc. of Kearney, Nebraska in the amount of $3,454,000.00
for Wastewater Treatment Plant Laboratory, Operations Control Center, and
Administrative Building Renovation; Project No. 2017-WWTP-2. As a result of this
renovation additional office furniture is necessary.
The COVID response caused pricing volatility that negatively impacted this purchase.
Construction is still underway so not all of the offices are complete, and the building was
designed for anticipated staffing levels over the next 50 years so not all space is
immediately needed. Additionally there are several vacancies that are difficult to fill. In
an attempt to minimize cost and anticipating price stabilization, this purchase only
includes furnishings that are needed for staff immediately occupying the building. For
transparency information in this purchase will be included with future procurement so the
total cost will be clear.
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 No. 2014-
326.
To meet competitive bidding requirements, the Wastewater Division obtained contract
pricing from the (NJPA) Sourcewell Contract No. 121919-OFS (RFP #121919) awarded
to OFS Brands, Inc. of Huntingburg, Indiana; with Eakes Office Solutions of Grand
Island, Nebraska assigned as our authorized dealer. Such office furniture meets all of the
requirements of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Laboratory, Operations Control Center,
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 170 / 204

Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 173 / 204
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:October 12, 2021
Subject:Approval of Amendment of Design Services for
Renovate Baffles at Heartland Public Shooting Park
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
The Heartland Public Shooting Park (HPSP) pistol and rifle ranges include a baffles
system to stop stray bullets from leaving the range making the baffles an important safety
feature. Nearly half of the HPSP baffles were damaged or destroyed during wind storms
in 2019 and 2020. The remaining baffles have aged or damaged to a point that staff is
recommending a redesign and reconstruction of the baffle system.
In September of last year City Council approved Resolution 2020-239 to design new
overhead baffles at HPSP.
In May of this year the Parks and Recreation Department advertised for bids to construct
the new baffle system. Unfortunately the lone bid was twice as much of the approved
budget amount. The bid was attributed to unusual high material price at that time. The
decision was made to wait until later in the year in hopes that material prices would come
down. During that time staff also engaged the design team to reevaluate the design to find
cost savings for construction.
The City has received $73,310.11 for damages from insurance. The City will receive an
additional $74,488.88 from insurance upon the completion of repairs. The new estimate
to renovate the damaged ranges is $750,000.00.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/12/2021 Page 174 / 204
Discussion
Staff recommends accepting amendment to the agreement with JEO Consulting Group to
redesign the HPSP baffle system. The proposed amendment will increase the JEO
contract for design services by $11,000.00. The new total price to design the new baffles
is $55,000.00. Food and Beverage funds will be used for expenses beyond the insurance
payments.
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 City Council accept the amendment to the
agreement with JEO Consulting Group of Wahoo, Nebraska to design a reconstructed
baffle system at HPSP. The amendment will increase the JEO contract for design services
by $11,000.00. The new total price to design the new baffles is $55,000.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the amendment from JEO Consulting Group to redesign HPSP baffles.

Background
On September 14, City Council approved Lacy Construction Company of Grand Island,
Nebraska to construct three (3) new outdoor batting cages at the Veterans Sports

league. The City budgeted to fund the batting cages which will be open to all teams using
the facility. The softball league budgeted to fund a building in which they would use in

The bids to construct the building were well over the engineers estimate. As a result the
ABCDD softball league has requested to wait until a later date so that additional funds
can be raised to construct the building.

batting cages is $85,241.61. Food and Beverage Tax proceeds will be utilized.
