16.1 1181-2022 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. (CMT) to design and prepare construction plans and specifications for Phase II of the River to River Corridor Trail project.

Overview: The Engineering Department released a request for Statements of Qualifications in July 2022 for an agreement of Phase I and Phase II engineering services for Phase II of the River to River Corridor Trail, which will span along the 19 Street/27 Street corridor between Ave. of the Cities & 36 Avenue. Six Statements of Qualifications were received. The review committee reviewed, scored these proposals, and interviewed the top firms. Staff found Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. to be the most qualified firm based on their previous experience with projects of this nature, projects using federal funding, and the City’s positive working relationship with the group. Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. proposes to provide services on a time and expense basis for the estimated cost not to exceed $434,000 without prior written notification from the City. Funding is currently being sought for construction of this project, and being further along in the design process makes our project more attractive to potential outside funding sources.

Staff Recommendation: Approval

Fiscal Impact: $175,000 is budgeted in 2022, $200,000 is budgeted in 2023, in Account #510-9957-438.08-98, Capital Improvement Fund. Unbudgeted $59,000 will be taken out of a future reserve account.

16.2 1182-2022 A Resolution authorizing approval of a request for a street light at 52nd Street, between 3511 52nd Street and 3536 51st Street.

Overview: City staff received a request to install a street light at 52nd Street, between 3511 52nd Street and 3536 51st Street due to safety concerns after dark. Existing street lights are located approximately 490 feet apart. The City’s Street Light Policy states that, in order for a new street light to be considered for installation, the distance between an existing street light, needs to be greater than 460 feet. Based on the Policy’s language and that the street is not adequately illuminated, staff recommends a light be installed. There are no existing power poles along the street in this area to house a new street light. MidAmerican will set a new pole for $1,100 to house the new street light.

Staff Recommendation: Approval

Fiscal Impact: One-time fee of $1,100 for MidAmerican to install a new power pole to house the street light. The annual cost of a street light is approximately $70. Money is budgeted in Account #010-0843-435.04-16, Property Services/Utility Service, for street lights.

16.3 1183-2022 A Resolution authorizing an agreement between Bass Street Landing Special Service Area #5 Board and NAI Ruhl Commercial Company, for property maintenance services for Special Service Area #5, for two successive one-year terms.

16.4 1184-2022 A Resolution authorizing the Human Resources Director to execute a policy with UnitedHealthcare to provide an Employer Group Waiver Plan (EGWP) for Medicare retiree prescription drug benefit coverage for a one-year period commencing January 1, 2023. Overview: The EGWP plan was implemented in 2018 after an analysis was performed comparing prescription claims costs from the self-insured plan to the fully insured EGWP plan premium cost. Using a 10% increase to 2017 prescription claims cost, a savings of $152,868 was obtained for the 2018 plan year. Per the health benefits consultant for the City, providing a fully insured prescription drug plan for Medicare retirees is a standard risk management strategy. Medicare retirees are a higher risk group who tend to have higher prescription benefit utilization and therefore, it is typically more advantageous to use the fully insured EGWP plan. Since UnitedHealthcare (UHC) is the current vendor for this plan and has proposed a renewal with a 0% (no) increase to premiums for the 2023 calendar year, renewing a contract with UHC as a sole source provider will provide the City with continuity of operations with a company familiar with the City’s needs at a cost savings. Additional documentation attached.

Staff Recommendation: Approval

Fiscal Impact: $408,254 budgeted in the Retiree Health Fund 441-9964-415.03-22

16.5 1185-2022 A Resolution authorizing the Human Resources Director to execute a policy with UnitedHealthcare-BP to provide reinsurance coverage for medical and prescription drug benefit claims for a one-year period commencing January 1, 2023.

Overview: Holmes Murphy, the City’s Health Benefits Consultant, solicited quotes for specific and aggregate reinsurance coverage. UnitedHealthcare-BP currently provides specific and aggregate reinsurance for the City’s medical and prescription drug benefit plans for active employees and their dependents, as well as retirees under age 65 and retirees’ dependents under age 65 and provided the most favorable quote. Expected annual costs for specific and aggregate reinsurance total $516,729.00; however, that estimate would be decreased by an anticipated experience refund related to the specific reinsurance premium; for the 2021 plan year, the experience refund was $62,328.31; without the anticipated experience refund, the proposal reflects a 1.1% decrease from 2022 rates; funds received for the 2023 experience refund, if any, will be dispensed in 2024. Additional documentation attached.

Staff Recommendation: Approval

Fiscal Impact: $516,729 budgeted in the Active and Retiree Health Funds

Overview: The City owns a dumpster enclosure in the parking lot behind 1500-1534 Reiver Drive, which includes Bad Boyz Pizza, Dead Poets Expresso, River House Bar & Grill and other businesses. The gate has been damaged and repaired on multiple occasions, due in part to the gates swinging into oncoming traffic through the parking lot. To prevent these occurrences, staff researched various styles of gates and determined a cantilever style gate, which opens parallel to the front of the enclosure and does not project into traffic would best meet the city’s needs. Staff solicited estimates from four separate companies and the most responsive and responsible quote came from Quality Construction Services, Incorporated in the amount of $19,951.60. Staff recommends approval.

Staff Recommendation: Approval

Fiscal Impact: $19,951.60 is available in account #010-0828-423.04-25

Overview: The flail mower attachment will be used for the Streets utility tractor to mow rights-of-way and ditches. The previous mower attachment was damaged beyond repair and scrapped. Staff was able to purchase a smaller attachment to assist with right-of-way maintenance; however, the replacement unit will be much larger and more appropriate for the applications. This attachment is a budgeted purchase for fiscal year 2023. Prairie State Tractor is a Tiger dealer and able to sell this attachment to the City utilizing Sourcewell Joint Purchase contract #070821-TGR as quoted on Quote #27630616. Staff recommends approval.

Overview: There are currently three John Deere Gators that are in service and utilized daily by Parks Maintenance staff around the City and at Green Valley Sports Complex. All of these units have had significant repairs, both to the battery systems and the rear axles. Staff has learned that the all-electric units have a smaller rear axle that is not robust enough for the applications for which these units are being used. Additionally, the resale value for these units is very low due to the cost of battery replacement. While they are all still operational, all three units have reached the end of their reliable, useful life and staff is recommending replacement before any more investment is necessary. All three units are budgeted for replacement in the 2023 fiscal year. The City is able to purchase these units on a Sourcewell Joint Purchase, contract #031121-DAC.

Staff Recommendation: Approval

Fiscal Impact: $36,567.10 is budgeted in FY2023 in account #448-0867-437.07-03, Vehicle Replacement

Overview: In accordance with current policies and procedures in regard to the city’s snow removal efforts, staff solicited snow removal services for various city parking lots and properties through a Request for Proposals. Miller Trucking and Excavating submitted the only proposal for snow removal services and was determined to be the most responsive and responsible proposal. Miller provided snow removal services for the city in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 and staff determined their work met or exceeded requirements and specifications.

Staff seeks approval from City Council to accept the proposal from Miller Trucking and Excavating for snow removal services. This action will allow Municipal Services to continue to provide snow removal efficiency and to provide a constant and consistent level of service to the residents of Moline.

Staff plans to upfit this unit with a snowplow to be a direct replacement. This vehicle became available recently due to a canceled order and was offered to the City to purchase first. Because of inflation and extreme supply chain deficiencies, staff recommends approval. This is a budgeted purchase for fiscal year 2022.

Overview: To assess the need for signals here and to respond to requests for their removal, the City’s Engineering Department has completed a Traffic Control Study of the intersection.
