Item #: 8.g.
Subject: #2023-252 - Approving Fire Station #3 Architectural Design Services
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt
BACKGROUND: Fire Station #3 was built in 1987 to provide fire department coverage
for the southwest portion of Grand Island. Since that time, the station has undergone
several updates, such as converting a patio to an office/bedroom, converting a
dormitory-style bedroom into two separate bedrooms, remodeling one large bathroom
into two smaller private bathrooms, and adding an outbuilding. Despite the updates, the
fire station remains inadequate in size and lacks the employee safety and wellness
features of a modern fire station. Mayor Steele requested a study session on Fire
Station #3 which was held on April 4, 2023. At that meeting, City Council was given a
presentation on the issues with Fire Station #3. As a result of the feedback given at that
meeting, a capital budget request was made to replace Fire Station #3 as part of the FY
2024 budget.
DISCUSSION: The Grand Island Fire Department's FY 2024 budget includes funds to
replace Fire Station #3. In order to complete that project, architectural design services
are needed. A request for qualifications (RFQ) was issued on May 22 and closed on
June 22, to solicit interested design firms. A total of seven firms submitted a proposal.
An internal selection committee comprised of four fire department administrative staff
members as well as the assistant city administrator, evaluated those firms according to
the criteria in the RFQ request. From that list, the internal committee identified the
partnership of Schemmer Associates Inc. of Omaha and BRW Architects of College
Station, Texas as the top choice. In exchange for architectural design services,
Schemmer Associate's fee is $319,825.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fee for architectural design services is $319, 825. The fire
department has those funds available as part of the FY 2024 budget.
ALTERNATIVES: It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning
the issue at hand. The Council may:
Page 17 of 191
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 presented in this motion.
RECOMMENDATION: City Administration recommends the Council approve the
proposed contract between the City of Grand Island and Schemmer Associates Inc.
SAMPLE MOTION: Move to approve as recommended.

Subject: #2023-253 - Approving Fire Department Purchase of Personal Protective
Equipment
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt
BACKGROUND: The Grand Island Fire Department (GIFD) responds to a variety of
dangerous situations. To help protect our firefighters, the department issues personal
protective equipment (PPE) to its personnel. GIFD issued PPE generally consists of
bunker gear (pants and coat), extrication gloves, structural firefighting gloves, firefighter
helmet, face goggles, high reflective traffic vests, structural firefighting hood, and
firefighting boots. PPE has an approximate 10 year life-span, at which point, it should
be replaced. In addition to the recommended usable life, the GIFD also routinely
inspects PPE for damage as well as normal wear and tear. The PPE currently in use by
GIFD personnel has reached, or soon will reach the end of its usable life-span. As part of the FY
2024 budget for the GIFD, $230,000 was requested to purchase half of the needed
PPE. An additional request will be made next year to replace the remaining PPE.
DISCUSSION: As part of the FY 2024 budget, the GIFD requested $230,000 to replace
35 sets of bunker gear, 75 firefighting helmets, 75 extrication and structural gloves, and
other miscellaneous items. The GIFD formed an internal committee to evaluate PPE
from several manufacturers. The committee rated five different brands of bunker gear
and ultimately chose Morning Pride gear based on its features, fit, and
performance. Using the HGAC cooperative buying group, Delta Fire & Safety of Port
Neches, TX was the chosen provider of the PPE at a cost of $226,397.25. In addition to
providing the PPE, Delta also offers excellent service after the sale, which includes the
availability of providing loaner bunker gear, gear repair services, and the handling of
warranty issues.
FISCAL IMPACT: $230,000 from the FY 2024 Capital Budget
ALTERNATIVES: It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning
the issue at hand. The Council may:
Page 47 of 191
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 presented in this motion.
RECOMMENDATION: City Administration recommends the Council approve the
purchase of PPE from Delta Fire & Safety.
SAMPLE MOTION: Move to approve as recommended.

BACKGROUND: A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering consulting

advertised in the Grand Island Independent on July 28 2023. The RFQ was also sent to
sixteen (16) potential firms by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
The Public Works Department is taking a proactive approach in repairing sanitary
sewer manholes throughout the City prior to any major failures, as budget allows. At
this time, cementitious manhole lining is thought to be the ideal solution as existing
manholes are such that full replacement is not required, but other rehabilitation
solutions could be considered.
DISCUSSION: Two (2) submittals were opened on August 17, 2023, 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 $68,100.00
for such services.
Funds for the consulting services are in the approved 2023/2024 Wastewater Division
budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are in the approved FY24 budget.
ALTERNATIVES: It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning
the issue at hand. The Council may:
Page 61 of 191
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 presented in this motion.

BACKGROUND: Specifications for Contract 2024-TT-1 were prepared for trimming
trees from around powerlines throughout the Utility Department’s Electrical Service

The contract documents for the work were publicly advertised, and notification sent to
ten (10) potential firms. The project’s specifications provide that the City may select any
or all sections to be awarded under this Contract. The project’s estimate was $225,000.
Two (2) bids were received and publicly opened on September 26, 2023. One bid was
submitted without a bid bond and has been rejected. The bid from Leetch Tree

Their total bid for all nine (9) sections contained an error, and the corrected amount is
$198,125.00. The bid was in compliance with all specifications.

ISSUANCE OF LICENSES
(A) Upon execution of this Agreement, the parties will prepare a list indicating
Page 109 of 191
6
to which of the Licensor’s poles Licensee’s facilities are then attached; Licensee shall
be deemed to have a license hereunder for attachment to all such poles. Before

(B) Licensor shall have the right at any time to issue reasonable rules and
regulations concerning submission of applications and attachments to poles of Licensor,
which rules and regulations shall be binding upon submission of a copy thereof to
Licensee.
ARTICLE VII
POLE REPLACEMENTS, RESTRICTIONS AND REARRANGEMENTS
(A) In the event Licensor determines that the space on any pole to which
Licensee wishes to make attachment is required for its exclusive use or that the pole
may not reasonably be rearranged or replaced, Licensor may refuse attachment to that
pole.
(B) In the event Licensor determines that any pole to which Licensee wishes
to make attachments is inadequate or otherwise needs rearrangement of the existing
facilities thereon to support or accommodate the additional facilities of Licensee in
accordance with the specifications set forth in APPENDIX 2, Licensor will indicate on
the application (Exhibit A) the changes necessary to provide adequate pole space and
the estimated cost thereof to Licensee and return the application to Licensee. If
Licensee wishes that such changes be made and returns the application marked to so
indicate, Licensor will make such changes, including the replacement of inadequate
poles, and Licensee shall pay Licensor in accordance with the terms of APPENDIX 1.
Page 110 of 191
7
Licensee shall also reimburse the owner or owners of other facilities attached to said
poles for any expense incurred by it or them in transferring or rearranging said facilities
to accommodate Licensee’s attachments.
(C) Should Licensor need for its own service requirements the space occupied
by Licensee’s attachments on any of Licensor’s poles, Licensee will be notified that it
shall either surrender its license for that pole and, at its own expense, vacate the space
by removing its attachments, or it shall authorize Licensor to replace the pole at the
expense of Licensee, in the same manner as stated in the preceding Paragraph (B)
covering the replacement or rearrangement of poles when required to accommodate
Licensee’s attachments; or, if Licensor advises Licensee that Licensee’s desired
attachments can be accommodated on present poles of Licensor by rearranging
Licensor’s facilities thereon, Licensee shall authorize Licensor to make such
arrangements at the expense of Licensee. Licensee shall also reimburse the owner or
owners of other facilities attached to said poles for any expense incurred by it or them in
transferring or rearranging said facilities to accommodate Licensee’s attachments. Any
strengthening of poles will be provided at the expense of Licensee in accordance with
the specifications in APPENDIX 2.
(D) When Licensor receives multiple applications for attachment to any pole
that must be replaced or rearranged to provide sufficient space, Licensor will, to the
extent that it is practical to do so, prorate the common expenses of engineering,
rearrangement and replacement, if any, among all the applicants. Licensee shall be
bound by Licensor’s determination as to any such proration of costs to Licensee.
(E) Whenever it is necessary for Licensor to make pole replacements or
Page 111 of 191
8
rearrangements in order to accommodate Licensee’s cable, equipment and facilities,
Licensor will endeavor to have such work performed as soon as is practicable upon
consideration of Licensor’s service requirements, but only after issuance of the license
to, and acceptance of responsibility for costs by, Licensee.
(F) Licensee shall provide all anchors and guying necessary for its facilities. If
the presence of Licensee’s facilities on Licensor’s poles make it necessary for Licensor
to modify its existing guying or add new guying to its poles, then the cost of such
modifications or additions shall be reimbursed by Licensee.
(G) When Licensor’s facilities occupy space on a pole owned by a third party,
Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for any expense incurred in transferring or
rearranging its facilities thereon, if such transfer or rearrangement is the result of
Licensee’s use or proposed use of said pole.
ARTICLE VIII
CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES
(A) Licensee shall, at its own expense, make and maintain its pole
attachments in a safe condition and in thorough repair, and in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Licensor, and so as not to conflict with the use of Licensor’s poles by
Licensor or by other authorized users thereof, or interfere with other facilities thereon or
which may from time to time be placed thereon. If reasonably necessary to satisfy any
of the above conditions, Licensee shall, upon 30 days’ notice from Licensor and at its
own expense, relocate or replace its facilities on Licensor’s poles, or transfer them to
substituted poles, or perform any other work in connection with its facilities that may
reasonably be required by Licensor; provided, however, that in cases of emergency,
Page 112 of 191
9
Licensor may arrange to relocate or replace the attachments placed on its poles by
Licensee, transfer them to substituted poles or perform any other work in connection
with Licensee’s facilities that may be required in the maintenance, replacement, removal
or relocation of Licensor’s poles or of the facilities thereon, or which may be placed
thereon, or for the service needs of Licensor, and Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for
the expense thereby incurred; provided further, however, that Licensee shall have no
obligation to relocate, replace, or transfer its facilities solely to accommodate the service
needs of any person other than Licensor, unless such person shall make arrangements,
satisfactory to Licensee, to reimburse Licensee for such work.
(B) All tree trimming required on account of Licensee’s attachments shall be
done by Licensee at its sole risk and expense and in a manner satisfactory to Licensor.
The parties may agree that Licensor shall conduct tree trimming and be reimbursed by
Licensee.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF LICENSES
(A) Upon notice from Licensor to Licensee that the use of any pole is not
authorized by Federal, State, County or Municipal authorities or private property
owners, the license covering the use of such pole shall immediately terminate and shall
be surrendered and Licensee shall remove its fiber, cables, equipment and facilities at
once from the affected pole or poles at Licensee’s expense.
(B) Licensee may at any time remove its facilities from any pole of Licensor,
but shall immediately give Licensor written notice of such removal and surrender of
License in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof. If Licensee
Page 113 of 191
10
surrenders its license for a pole but fails to remove its facilities from that pole, Licensor
shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to remove Licensee’s facilities at
Licensee’s expense and without any liability on the part of Licensor for damage or injury
to Licensee’s facilities. In the event that Licensee’s fiber, cables, equipment and
facilities shall be removed from any pole as provided by this Article, no attachment shall
again be made to such pole unless Licensee shall have first complied with all of the
provisions of this Agreement as though no such attachment had previously been made.
(C) Licensor shall have the right, upon written notice, to terminate the license
for a particular pole:
(1) If, in Licensor’s sole judgment, its service needs require full
utilization of that pole; or
(2) If changes in the physical facilities, space or location requirements
or service requirements of Licensor render such poles inadequate
to support the facilities of Licensee; provided, however, that in such
event Licensee may request the substitution of suitable poles upon
the same terms and conditions as would be applicable under
ARTICLE VII.
ARTICLE X
INSPECTIONS OF LICENSEE’S INSTALLATIONS
(A) Licensor reserves the right to make periodic inspections of any part of the
fiber, cable, equipment and facilities of Licensee on its poles, and Licensee shall
reimburse Licensor for the expense of such inspections. Inspections will be made no
more than once a year and only upon notice to Licensee unless, in Licensor’s judgment,
Page 114 of 191
11
such inspections are required for reasons involving safety or are required because of
Licensee’s violation of the terms of this Agreement. The charge for the inspection shall
be in accordance with the terms and conditions of APPENDIX 1. The making of such
inspections or the failure to do so shall not operate to relieve Licensee of any
responsibility, obligation or liability assumed under this Agreement.
(B) If any fiber, cable, equipment and facilities of Licensee shall be found on a
pole for which no license is outstanding, Licensor, without prejudice to its other rights or
remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, may (1) impose a charge, and (2) require
Licensee to remove such fiber, cable, equipment and facilities forthwith or Licensor may
remove them without liability and the expense of removal shall be borne by Licensee;
provided, however, that if Licensee shall forthwith make application for a license in the
form of Exhibit A hereto, Licensor will not require such removal unless necessary for
Licensor’s service requirements and, except in the case of an emergency, will not
remove Licensee’s facilities without first giving 30 days notice to Licensee. For the
purpose of determining the charge, absent satisfactory evidence to the contrary, the
unlicensed use shall be treated as having existed for a period of two (2) years prior to its
discovery or for the period beginning with the date of this Agreement, whichever period
shall be the shorter; and the fee, at the appropriate rate as shown in APPENDIX 1, for
each year and for any portion of a year contained in such period, shall be due and
payable forthwith. Any such fee imposed by Licensor shall be in addition to its rights to
any other sums due and payable and to any claims or damages under this Agreement
or otherwise. No act or failure to act by Licensor with regard to said fee or said license
shall not operate retroactively or constitute a waiver by Licensor of any of its rights or
privileges under this Agreement or otherwise.

damage of property of injury to or death of persons, arising or alleged to have arisen in

territory in which both parties hereto now or hereafter operate. The effective date of this
Appendix 2 is , 20__.
GENERAL
1. The Licensee is responsible for the proper design, construction and
maintenance of its Attachments. Attachments generally will be limited to strand support
cable, wire, service drops, terminals and necessary appurtenances deemed by Licensor
to be suitable for pole mounting.
2. Any rearrangement of Licensor’s facilities or replacement of poles required
to accommodate Licensee’s Attachments shall be done by Licensor or a contractor
authorized by Licensor.
3. The fees and charges specified in APPENDIX 1 shall be applicable, (to all
licenses granted to Licensee hereunder) without regard to the methods of attachment
used.
Page 133 of 191
30
4. Licensee’s Attachments shall be plainly identified by appropriate marking,
satisfactory to Licensor.
5. Licensee’s workmen shall assure themselves that any pole to be climbed
has sufficient strength or is adequately braced or guyed to support the weight of the
workmen.
6. All requirements of the National Electrical Safety Code referred to herein
shall mean the 2007 Edition of such code, or any later amendment or replacement
thereof, and shall include any additional requirements of any applicable Federal, State,
County or Municipal Code. References to simply the Safety Code, or to N.E.S.C., have
the same meaning.
7. While many of the standards and technical requirements for Licensee’s
cable, equipment and facilities are set forth herein, Licensor reserves the right to specify
the type of construction required in situations not otherwise covered in this Appendix. In
such cases, Licensor will in its discretion furnish to Licensee written material which will
specify and explain the required construction.
8. Licensee’s Attachments shall not use or carry voltages or currents in
excess of the limits prescribed for cable television conductors by the National Electrical
Safety Code Section 230 F1 & F2. However, all parts of the Licensee’s Attachments
carrying voltages in excess of 60 volts AC (rms) to ground or 135 volts DC to ground,
except for momentary signaling or control voltages, shall be enclosed in an effectively
grounded sheath or shield. All energized parts of Licensee’s Attachments shall be
suitably covered to prevent accidental contact to the general public, Licensor’s workmen
or workmen of another licensee having facilities on the same pole.
Page 134 of 191
31
9. Licensor shall determine whether Licensee’s Attachments cause or may
cause electrical interference with Licensor’s or any other Licensee’s
communication/education facilities. Licensee shall, on demand of the Licensor, correct
immediately at Licensee’s expense any such interference including, if necessary,
removal of the Attachments causing the interference.
10. No Attachment shall use the earth as the sole conductor for any part of the
circuit.
11. Licensee shall not circumvent Licensor’s or any other licensee’s corrosion
mitigation measures (e.g., short circuit insulating joints).
GROUNDING AND BONDING
12. All power supplies shall be grounded. The neutral side of the
power drop shall be continuous and not fused. The neutral line shall also be bonded to
any power supply cabinet. Any cabinet shall be connected to an earth ground at the
pole. In areas where the Licensor has a ground wire (which is connected to the
Licensor’s neutral) running down the pole, the cabinet can be connected to it. Where a
Licensor vertical ground wire is not available, the Licensee must place a ground rod. All
cabinets, housings and metal socket bases on a common pole shall be bonded to each
other, to the Licensor’s strand and to the Licensee’s strand.
13. Where two or more aerial suspension strands are located on the
same pole, the suspension strands shall be bonded together. Licensee shall attach the
bonding wire to its strand and leave a sufficient length of wire to complete the bond.
Where the strands of two or more licensees are to be bonded together, the licensee
Page 135 of 191
32
placing the last strand, if authorized to do so by the other licensees, shall make both
connections. Where such authorization is not granted by the licensee owning the
existing strand, Licensee shall attach the bonding wire to its strand and leave enough
wire to permit making a connection and shall be responsible for completing the bonding.
Licensee may bond its cable sheath to Licensor’s common neutral, vertical ground
wires, and ground rods at whatever frequency Licensee desires. All vertical ground
wires shall be covered by a molding. Ground rods installed by Licensee shall be in
accordance with National Electrical Safety Code.
14. Suspension strands at trolley feeders and trolley contact wires located on
the same street shall be bonded at the first, last and every intermediate fifth poles until
the remaining section between bonds is not more than eight or less than four spans. At
other locations, the strands shall be bonded at the first, last and every intermediate
tenth poles until the remaining section between bonds is not more than thirteen or less
than four spans. Strands shall be bonded at or near the first pole on each side of
underground dips or trolley wire crossovers.
15. Strands attached to the same bolt do not have to be bonded.
16. Where a Licensee’s strand leaves a pole which carries other strands
supporting cable television cables, and Licensee’s strand continues to a pole carrying
power facilities of Licensor, Licensee’s fiber cable shall be:
(A) Bonded to other cable television strands on the pole that it leaves;
(B) Bonded to an effective ground preferably within two spans but not
greater than ten (10) spans after leaving said pole, and;
Page 136 of 191
33
(C) Bonded with a No. 6 solid, soft-drawn copper wire. The wire must
be attached to the strand with an approved clamp, such as a
lashing wire clamp, designed for attachment to each specific size of
strand involved (for example, Chance Lashing Wire Clamp, Catalog
Number 9000, or equivalent).
17. Strands supporting drop wire shall be bonded to the cable suspension
strand.
18. Any connecting or bonding to Licensor’s facilities shall be done by
Licensor and the connecting or bonding wire shall be sufficient length to allow Licensor
to complete the connection or bond.
CLEARANCES
19. Licensee’s Attachments are subject to cable television facilities clearances
and shall meet all of the pertinent clearance requirements of the National Electric Safety
Code. Safety Code rules covering the most commonly encountered conditions are
listed below:

LOCATION AND SPACING
20. Licensor shall specify the location of Licensee’s Attachments on each
pole, including the location of Licensee’s riser cables. Where Licensor has installed its
own communication circuits (supervisory control circuits) for operation of its electric
system, clearance of Licensee’s facilities from these communication circuits shall be the
same as from Licensor’s common neutral conductor.
21. The minimum vertical separation between Licensee’s strand, and the
strand of another licensee when located on same side of pole shall be twelve (12)
inches. Licensee’s strand shall be located at a point on the pole that provides the
minimum clearance allowed by the National Electric Safety Code from the ground.
Licensee may, however, agree with another licensee to reduce the separation between
their respective strands. Separation between the bolt holes must be in any event at
least four (4) inches.
22. Licensee shall be required to place all of its Attachments, so not to
interfere with climbing space, as defined in the National Electrical Safety Code.
23. Through bolts may not be placed less than ten inches from the top of the
pole. When through bolts present a hazard to climbing; i.e., extend more than two
inches beyond the nut, they shall be trimmed to a safe length.
24. Pole steps will not be allowed on any Licensor pole, except to specific
cases judged to be in the interest of safety by the Licensor.
Page 139 of 191

LOADING
25. The Licensee shall furnish to Licensor as a part of Exhibit A to this
Agreement the details as to the ultimate strength, tension at 60F, and maximum tension
in its suspension strand or conductor under the applicable storm loading specifications
in Code.
26. Licensee shall furnish to Licensor as a part of Exhibit A to this Agreement
details as to the weight and size of its fiber/cables, suspension strands and/or
conductors, with and without the ice loading, as specified by the National Electrical
Safety Code (Rule 251) or appropriate local code for the loading area concerned.
NESC Rule 250 covers the degree of loading (light, medium, heavy) appropriate in
different sections of the country. Where a local code designates a heavier degree of
loading than the NESC, the local requirements shall govern.
27. Licensee may lash its fiber/cable to the strand of another licensee, where
this is acceptable to all other licensees involved and to Licensor. Maximum tension of
Licensee’s strand shall not exceed 60% of the breaking strength under applicable storm
loading, as defined by the National Electrical Safety Code (Rule 251). Where local
codes designate a heavier degree of loading than the NESC, the local requirements
shall govern.
GUYING
28. Guying will be required on poles where the total unbalanced load,
including the tension due to Licensee’s Attachments under the appropriate storm
loading prescribed by the National Electrical Safety Code (Rule 251), exceed 200
Page 140 of 191
37
pounds unless the pole was designed as an unguyed corner pole and the pole has
adequate strength and stability, in the opinion of Licensor, to withstand the additional
load.
29. Guys, when required, shall be of such material and dimensions as to
provide adequate strength to withstand the transverse loads specified in the National
Electrical Safety Code (Rule 252B), and the longitudinal load assumed in the Code
(Rule 252C). Guys on poles which also support power facilities shall be in compliance
with the National Electrical Safety Code (Rule 261C and 282).
30. Guy guards shall be installed in compliance with NESC (Rule 282E).
31. Licensee may attach its guy to Licensor’s anchor rods only where Licensor
specifically authorizes it in writing. Should it be necessary to replace the anchor at a
later date to provide added strength for Licensor’s requirements, the anchor shall be
replaced at Licensee’s expense if the existing anchor rod would support Licensor’s
Attachments without regard to Licensee’s guy.
32. More than one licensee may use a common guy to sustain their combined
load.
33. Guys shall be insulated as specified in the Safety Code (Rules 215 and
283) and at any location where Licensee’s guy parallels Licensor’s guy with insulator.
Licensee’s guys shall not short circuit Licensor’s guy insulators.
34. Cross guying of Licensee’s guys with Licensor’s guys is not allowed.
35. Material used for guys shall be compatible from a corrosion standpoint
with the hardware to which it is attached.

Item #: 8.r.
Subject: #2023-263 - Approving Purchase of 2024 Truck for the Electric
Underground Division
Staff Contact: Ryan Schmitz, Stacy Nonhof
BACKGROUND: The Electric Underground Division of the Utilities Department has a
2007 Freightliner Model M2106 truck with a Versalift aerial device.This vehicle has
approximately 16,000 miles and 4,000 hours which is equivalent to approximately
117,000 miles on the engine and power transmission equipment. Due to the age of this
vehicle, parts and repairs are becoming increasingly difficult. One of the normal mobile
repair companies will no longer provide repair services due to the age.
DISCUSSION: The Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint
Powers Alliance Buying Group (now Sourcewell) on October 28, 2014 with Resolution
2014-326. To meet competitive bidding requirements, the Utilities Department obtained
pricing from the Sourcewell Contract #110421-TER awarded to Terex Utilities, Inc.
Specifications for replacement of Unit #1666 were prepared by Department staff
resulting in a recommendation of a 2024 Freightliner truck with an articulating aerial
device from Terex Utilities, Inc., of Watertown, SD, in the amount of $350,327.00. The
estimated delivery of this unit is approximately 1.5 to 2 years.
FISCAL IMPACT: Budgetary Number = $350,000.00; Bid Amount = $350,327.00
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 presented in this motion.

Item #: 8.s.
Subject: #2023-264 - Approving Amendment to CDBG Contract #2019-3 with Grand
Island Area Habitat for Humanity
Staff Contact: Amber Alvidrez
BACKGROUND: In October 2019, the City of Grand Island was awarded an annual
allocation of $413,557 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program. In August 2019, City
Council approved the 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan, which included various projects
throughout Grand Island, all of which benefit low to moderate income persons or
areas. Each one of these projects requires a separate contract, which comes before
City Council.
DISCUSSION: As part of the 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan (AAP), the Entitlement
stakeholders and Community Development Division, recommended allocating funds to
meet housing repair needs to low- to moderate income households. In October of 2020
the City entered into a sub-recipient agreement with Habitat for Humanity. The objective
of the agreement was for Habitat to implement and administer an Owner Occupied
Rehab program that will help meet Home Preservation/Critical Repair needs within
Grand Island to low-income households.
At this time, Habitat for Humanity is continuing to work on utilizing funds for low-income
owner-occupied home repairs. Currently, this program does have unspent funds still
allocated. The community development division staff recommends an amendment to
the sub-recipient agreement which extends the agreement to October 13, 2024. This
amendment would allow Habitat for Humanity to continue utilizing CDBG funds for
home Repairs within our community.

BACKGROUND: On September 12, 2023 the City Council adopted Ordinance #9941

On September 27, 2023, the 4th Street BID Board met and approved the 2023¬2024
budget that provides for a total special assessment of $40,000.
DISCUSSION: The 4th Street BID was created as a perpetual entity. In this district,
assessments are paid by property owners based on the County assessor's valuation of
the property. Owners will be billed for the assessment after approval by City Council
sitting as the Board of Equalization on November 7, 2023. The budgeted assessments
of $40,000 will be charged to property owners in the district based on their valuations.
Notices will be published in the Grand Island Independent on October 20, October 27,
and, November 3, 2023. Copies of the notice will also be mailed to property owners
after the first publication via the method required by State law. A copy of the Proposed
2023-2024 Budget is attached for review.
FISCAL IMPACT: The new assessment value will add $40,000 of revenue to the 4th
Street BID FY 2023-2024 budget.

the issue at hand. The Council may:
