Memo To: Mayor and City Council

From: Andrew J. Lent, City Administrator

Date: March 20, 2014

Re: City Council Meeting, March 24, 2014

If you have any questions concerning an item on the agenda, please call me at 319-521-3405.

DART Presentation: We will have representatives here from the Des Moines Area Rapid Transit giving a 10-15 minute presentation on what they provide and upcoming changes to service.

Public Hearing and Resolution on Tax Abatement Renewal: This is the required public hearing to receive comments about the renewal of the city’s tax abatement program. I am not sure we will have a resolution prepared yet for the renewal at this meeting, but it is on the agenda in case the Council wishes to approve it.

Consider Change to Wyckoff Site Plan for Cold Storage Building: Wyckoff Heating and Cooling would like to change the location of their cold storage building. They wish to place it at 10 feet from the side yard property line (instead of the original 50 feet) and back it up to line it up with the Miller Auto Repair place. This is in order to create a cleaner drainage area on the side and present a more aligned image in front. Andy Wyckoff should be present to explain further and answer any questions. Consider Change to Federal Earmark Funding Agreement with IDOT: Now that we are moving forward with the bidding of the Vision Iowa Trail, the Iowa Department of Transportation wishes to revise the earmark funding agreement for the full amount of the earmark for the trail. Here are the revisions for the earlier agreement:

• Section 2: Updated contact information (Page 1 – replaced Neil with you) • Section 3: Updated cost estimate (Page 2) • Section 4: Updated Table (Page 2 - updated for current cost estimate and adding additional

earmark) • Section 4.C. (Pages 2-3, added language for the additional earmark) • Section 6 ( – earmark amount was updated)

Consider Bids for Asbestos Removal at 30 Market Street Prior to Training Fire: We sent out requests for bids for the removal of asbestos from this house. The bids are due on Monday, March 24 at 2 PM. If all goes well, we should have the bids ready for the Council to review at the meeting. Cost Share with County on Dishwasher: $3,711.44: The dishwasher in the community building is broken again. Instead of spending money on repairing it, we asked the county to cost share in a

new one. If we split the cost, it would be ($6,522.88 (second on quote list/dishwasher unit) + $900 (installation))/2=$3,711.44. Estimate for Work on Main Lift Station: Replacing 10” Dip Suction for South Pump: Steve explains this repair in his report that is included in your packet. Information on Replacement of Tables and Chairs in City Council Chambers: I have submitted grant applications to the Greater Carlisle Community Foundation (GCCF) and the Warren County Philanthropic Partnership (WCPP) to replace the chairs and folding tables in the Council Chambers. The budget for this project is GCCF: $250; WCPP: $500; and the City:$650. The GCCF has already decided to award their share. Provided the WCPP awards their portion, I would like to use some of the city hall money in next fiscal year’s budget for equipment replacement and maintenance to fund this replacement. One note is that this is for new chairs and tables. We may be able to get some lesser cost furniture from the Polk County warehouse as they are moving a large office to a new location and may have some furniture available in mid-April.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

MINUTES MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2014

CARLISLE CITY HALL

City Administrator Lent called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Carlisle City Hall. The following members were present and absent:

PRESENT: Becky Petersen, Cory Oelberg, Wayne Fleishman and Angi Bruce. ABSENT: Dane Wright, Howard Goodhue, and Betty Johnston ALSO PRESENT: Andrew Lent, Paige Godden, and Mayor Ruth Randleman.

The Commission reviewed the minutes of the January 20, 2014 meeting. Motion to approve the minutes was made by Fleishman, second by Peterson. Vote was unanimous. The Commission reviewed a possible location for a Tropical Sno Trailer owned by Dustin Carroll. The possible location is north side of the building at 130 School Street. This building is located in an M-1 Limited Industrial District. Lent explained that this district allows for commercial uses, but the commercial use needs to be incidental to an industrial use. The consent of the Commission members was that Mr. Carroll had to ask the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance. Motion by Fleishman, seconded by Bruce to approve site for Tropical Sno Trailer pending approval by the Zoning Board of Adjustments. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. The Commission considered a special joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday, April 7, 2014. Lent explained that this meeting was to rehear a presentation by Bill Ludwig on an action plan for some development land by the bypass. It may also entail reviewing the site plan for the new Casey’s store. A general consensus indicated that the time for this meeting would work. The Commission then reviewed a change to the site plan for the cold storage building at Wyckoff Heating and Cooling at 95 Highway 5. The original site plan called for the building to be 50 feet from the side yard property line and closer to First Street. The owners wish to line the building up with the auto shop next door and to move the building to the minimum 10 feet side yard setback. The owners feel this movement will present a better view of the building from the street and allow better drainage on the north side of the building. Motion by Fleischman, seconded by Petersen to approve change. Vote was unanimous on a roll call vote. Mayor Randleman gave a presentation on the Walkability Study to the Commission. The Commission then reviewed a possible ordinance to regulate the keeping of chickens in the city limits. Mayor Randleman explained that this was a proactive move in case someone

wants to keep chickens as we haven’t had any problems so far with people keeping chickens on their property. The Commission expressed interest in the ordinance and may return to discussing it at the next meeting. Mayor Randleman presented information to the Commission members on parking maximums (to limit the number of parking spaces for developments), permeable pavement (to require a certain amount of permeable pavement), and shared parking (to encourage businesses to enter into agreement on sharing parking to control the amount of parking lots). Mayor Randleman explained that these possible ordinances were related to the comprehensive plan and related to the city’s goal of sustainability. The Commission members agreed that the ordinances may be worthwhile to pursue. Mayor Randleman also presented information on a Complete Streets policy. This policy forces the city to consider pedestrian and bicycle use of streets and sidewalks in an area where major work is being done on a street section. Mayor Randleman explained that the policy wouldn’t force the city to expend any money, but to consider possible shared use and whether such improvements would be feasible. Mayor Randleman presented information on a bill in the legislature that would limit a city’s control on the number of non-familial individuals sharing an apartment or house. She said that this is mainly a problem for university cities who need to limit the number of non-related people in a house because of the issues with noise and too many cars. However, Carlisle has never had a major problem with these situations. Under Other Business, Petersen asked about the doors at the new storage center. The doors appear to be a dark green and she thought they were supposed to be a more neutral color to blend in with the natural stone siding that should be attached to the walls. Lent stated that he would look into this matter.

There being no further business, motion was made by Fleishman, second by Peterson to

adjourn the meeting at 8:15 P.M. Vote was unanimous.

Respectfully Submitted,

Andrew J. Lent City Administrator

However, after each year’s allocation is distributed, the actual amount of HP funds available for obligation (and consequently, reimbursement) will be limited by the amount of obligation authority made available each year by Congress, or the total amount of obligation authority accumulated to date. Therefore, the portion of the project costs reimbursed with HP funds shall be limited to a maximum of either 80% of eligible costs (other than those costs reimbursed with other Federal funds) or the total amount of obligation authority, whichever is less.

B. The Obligation Limitation applied to each year’s funding is as follows:

Of this total, 10% will be allocated in FFY 2005, 20% in 2006, 25% in 2007 and 2008, and 20% in 2009. However, after each

2


year’s allocation is distributed, the actual amount of TI funds available for obligation (and consequently, reimbursement) will be limited by the amount of obligation authority made available each year by Congress, or the total amount of obligation authority accumulated to date. Therefore, the portion of the project costs reimbursed with TI funds shall be limited to a maximum of either 80% of eligible costs (other than those costs reimbursed with other Federal funds) or the total amount of obligation authority, whichever is less.

D. The RECIPIENT shall be responsible for all other project costs which are

If, as a result of the DOT’S determination, the RECIPIENT’S total cash and non-cash contribution is below that stated in the terms of this agreement, the RECIPIENT shall increase its cash contribution in order to complete the RECIPIENT’S local contribution, or the grant and/or loan amount associated with this project shall be reduced accordingly.

6. The portion of total project costs paid by Earmark funds shall not exceed the

amount stated above ($584,935.23 $1,583,680.35) or 80 percent of the total cost of the eligible items, whichever is the smaller amount. Cost overruns shall be paid solely by the applicant.

to, those items set out in Exhibit B, which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated into this agreement.

10. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, if funds anticipated for

the continued fulfillment of this contract are at any time not forthcoming or insufficient, either through the failure of the State of Iowa to appropriate

3


funds or discontinuance or material alteration of the program for which funds were provided, the DOT shall have the right to terminate this contract without penalty by giving not less than ninety (90) days written notice.

11. The DOT reserves the right to delay reimbursement of funds to the

RECIPIENT if necessary to maintain a positive cash flow.

However, the plans, specifications and other agreement documents for each division must be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to the project letting of each division. The DOT shall review said submittal(s) recognizing the RECIPIENT’S development schedule and shall, after satisfactory review, authorize in writing the RECIPIENT to proceed with implementation of the project. The work on this project shall be in accordance with the survey, plans, and specifications on file. Any modification of these plans and specifications must be approved by the DOT prior to the modification being put into effect.

26. The RECIPIENT shall be responsible for the daily inspection of the project.

For projects let to contract, the RECIPIENT shall compile a daily log of materials and quantities. For projects constructed with local forces, the RECIPIENT shall compile a daily log of materials, equipment and labor on

6


the project. The DOT reserves the right to inspect project activities and to audit claims for funding reimbursement. The purpose of the inspection or audit is to determine substantial compliance with the terms of this agreement.

27. The RECIPIENT shall maintain all books, documents, papers, accounting

records, reports and other evidence pertaining to costs incurred for the project. The RECIPIENT shall make such materials available at all reasonable times for inspection by the DOT, FHWA or any authorized representatives of the Federal government. Copies of said materials shall be furnished by the RECIPIENT if requested. Such documents shall be retained for at least 3 years from the date of FHWA approval of the final closure document, the DOT will notify the Recipient of the record retention date.

28. The RECIPIENT may submit to the DOT periodic itemized claims for

reimbursement for eligible project costs. Reimbursement claims shall include certification that all eligible project costs for which reimbursement is requested have been completed in substantial compliance with the terms of this agreement.

29. The DOT will reimburse the RECIPIENT for properly documented and

certified claims for eligible project costs less a withholding of 5% of the Federal and / or State share of construction costs. Reimbursement will be made either by State warrant or by crediting other accounts from which payment was initially made. If, upon final audit or review, the DOT determines that the RECIPIENT has been overpaid, the RECIPIENT shall reimburse the overpaid amount to the DOT. After the final audit or review is complete and after the RECIPIENT has provided all required paperwork, the DOT will release the Federal or State funds withheld.

30. Upon completion of the project described in this agreement, a professional

engineer, architect and/or landscape architect, whichever applies, licensed to practice in the State of Iowa shall certify in writing to the DOT that the project activities were completed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications set out in this agreement. In addition, prior to final reimbursement for the project, the RECIPIENT shall furnish three sets of “as-built” plans of the project to the DOT. Final reimbursement of funds, including withholding, shall be made only after the DOT accepts the project as complete.

31. If, in the opinion of the RECIPIENT, the specific provisions of this agreement

requiring the services of a professional engineer, architect and/or landscape architect, whichever applies, licensed to practice in the State of Iowa prove to be burdensome to the RECIPIENT or otherwise not in the public interest,

7


and if the RECIPIENT decides that the provisions of this agreement can be otherwise complied with without endangering public safety, the RECIPIENT may request that said provisions be waived on all or specific parts of the project identified by the RECIPIENT. Such request shall be made in writing to the DOT’S contact person who shall, after consultation with other DOT staff as necessary, make the final determination concerning said waiver. If said waiver is granted, all provisions of this agreement requiring the services of a professional engineer, architect and/or landscape architect, whichever applies, licensed to practice in the State of Iowa shall be performed by the RECIPIENT’S contact person or designee.

32. The RECIPIENT agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the DOT harmless

from any action or liability arising out of the design, construction, maintenance, placement of traffic control devices, inspection or use of this project. This agreement to indemnify, defend and hold harmless applies to all aspects of the DOT’S application review and approval process, plan and construction reviews and funding participation.

33. This agreement may be declared to be in default by the DOT if the DOT

determines that the RECIPIENT’S application for funding contained inaccuracies, omissions, errors or misrepresentations, or if the DOT determines that the project is not developed as described in the application.

34. If the RECIPIENT fails to perform any obligation under this agreement, the

DOT shall have the right, after first giving thirty (30) days written notice to the RECIPIENT by certified mail return receipt requested, to declare any part or all of this agreement in default. The RECIPIENT shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the mailing of the notice to cure the default. If the RECIPIENT cures the default, the RECIPIENT shall notify the DOT no later than five (5) days after the cure or before the end of said thirty (30) day period given to cure the default. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of the RECIPIENT’S notice of cure, the DOT shall issue either a notice of acceptance of cure or a notice of continued default.

35. In the event a default is not cured, the DOT may revoke funding

commitments and/or seek repayment of funds granted by this agreement. By signing this agreement the RECIPIENT agrees to repay said funding if they are found to be in default. Repayment methods must be approved by the Iowa Transportation Commission and may include cash repayment, installment repayments with negotiable interest rates, charges against the RECIPIENT’S share of road use tax funds, or other methods as approved by the Iowa Transportation Commission.

36. In case of a dispute concerning the terms of this agreement, the parties shall

submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to IAC 679A (2011). Either party has the right to submit the matter to arbitration after ten (10) days notice to the other party of their intent to seek arbitration. The written notice must

8


include a precise statement of the disputed question. The DOT and the RECIPIENT agree to be bound by the decision of the appointed arbitrator. Neither party may seek any remedy with the state or federal courts absent exhaustion of the provisions of this section for arbitration.

37. The RECIPIENT shall maintain, or cause to be maintained for the intended

public use, the improvement for twenty (20) years from the completion date in a manner acceptable to the DOT. Failure to comply with this provision may be considered a default of this agreement.

38. The RECIPIENT shall comply with all provisions of the equal employment

opportunity requirements prohibiting discrimination and requiring affirmative action to assure equal employment opportunity as required by the IAC 216 (2011). No person shall, on the grounds of age, race, creed, sex, color, national origin, religion, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity for which the RECIPIENT receives state funds from the DOT.

39. The RECIPIENT shall conduct the project development and implementation

in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances and administrative rules. For portions of the project let to bid, the RECIPIENT shall advertise for bidders, make a good faith effort to get at least three bidders and hold a public letting for the project work. Prior to awarding the contract, the RECIPIENT shall provide the DOT file copies of project letting documents within five (5) working days after the letting. The RECIPIENT must wait for DOT concurrence before making the final award. Additionally, for projects where Federal Highway funds or Federal non-highway funds are used to match the project, the RECIPIENT shall also follow all administrative and contracting procedures, which would normally be used when such funds are used. The RECIPIENT shall comply with all requirements for use of said funds as outlined in Exhibit C.

40. The Recipient shall include in their Notice to Bidders that Sales Tax Exemption Certificates will be issued, as provided for by Iowa Code section 423.3, subsection 80. The Recipient shall be responsible for obtaining the sales tax exemption certificates through the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. The Recipient shall issue these certificates to the successful bidder and any subcontractors to enable them to purchase qualifying materials for the project free of sales tax.

41. This agreement, as set forth in items 1 through 40 herein, including

referenced exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement between the DOT and the RECIPIENT concerning this project. Representations made before the signing of this agreement are not binding, and neither party has relied upon conflicting representations in entering into this agreement. Any change or

Exhibit C Standard Provisions for use of Federal-Aid

1. Since this project is to be financed in part with local and Federal funds, the

Recipient shall take the necessary actions to comply with applicable State and Federal laws and regulations.

In all programs and activities of Federal-aid recipients, sub-recipients and contractors, no person in the United States shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap/disability. While no specific commitment or numeric goal has been established for this project, the Recipient is encouraged in accordance with Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations – Part 26 (49 CFR 26), to make a good faith effort to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts.

2. The Recipient must receive notice of FHWA authorization from the DOT

before beginning any work for which federal-aid reimbursement will be requested. The cost of work, occurring prior to securing FHWA authorization, will not be reimbursed with federal-aid funds. The Recipient must contact the DOT to obtain the procedures necessary to secure FHWA authorization.

3. The Recipient shall take the appropriate actions and prepare the necessary

documents to fulfill the FHWA requirements for project environmental studies including historical/cultural reviews and location/design approval. The Recipient shall complete any mitigation agreed upon in the FHWA approval document. If farmland is to be acquired, whether for use as project right of way or permanent easement, the Recipient shall submit the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farmland Conversion Impact Rating form, when required, to the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

4. The Recipient shall certify to the DOT's contact person that all known

required environmental permits have been received and that all environmental regulations have been complied with before funds are reimbursed or credited.

5. The Recipient shall obtain agreements, as needed, from railroad and utility

companies and shall obtain project permits and approvals, when necessary, from the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs (State Historical Society of Iowa; State Historic Preservation Officer), Iowa Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DOT, etc.

1


6. General requirements and covenants (Division 11) of the DOT's standard specifications shall apply to all projects let at the DOT.

7. The project plans, specifications and project cost estimate (PS&E) shall be

prepared and certified by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of Iowa. The Recipient shall submit the plans, specifications and other contract documents to the DOT for review and authorization to let the project.

8. The project shall be constructed under the DOT's Standard Specifications

and applicable special provisions. Prior to their use in the PS&E, specifications developed by the Recipient for individual construction items shall be approved by the DOT.

9. The Recipient shall comply with the procedures and responsibilities for

materials testing and construction inspection according to the DOT's Instructional Memorandums (I.M.'s). The DOT will bill the Recipient for testing services according to its normal policy.

10. If Federal-aid is requested for in-house engineering services, the Recipient

will follow the procedure outlined by the DOT. The Recipient, desiring to claim indirect costs under Federal awards, must prepare an indirect cost rate proposal and related documentation in accordance with the requirements of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-87 – Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments. Reimbursement eligibility requires an indirect cost rate proposal to be certified by the governmental unit designated cognizant agency or the Federal agency providing the largest amount of Federal funds to the governmental unit.

11. If Federal-aid is requested for preliminary and/or construction engineering

costs, the Recipient will select a consultant(s) in accordance with the DOT's consultant selection process.

12. The Recipient and the Consultant shall prepare a consultant contract for

engineering services in accordance with Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 172 – Administration of Negotiated Contracts (23 CFR 172). This is required only if the Recipient uses federal funds for engineering services.

13. After the contents of the consultant contract have been mutually approved,

the Recipient shall execute the contract and forward the same to the DOT for authorization only if federal funds are used for engineering services.

14. If preliminary engineering is federally funded, if the "do nothing" alternate is

not selected, and if right of way acquisition for or actual construction of the road is not started by the close of the tenth fiscal year following the fiscal

2


year in which the Federal-aid Project Agreement is executed, the Recipient will repay to the DOT an amount equal to the amount of Federal funds made available for such engineering.

15. The Recipient shall forward a Federal-aid Project Development Certification

and final PS&E to the DOT. Following FHWA's authorization, the DOT will advertise the project for letting and furnish the Recipient with a sample letting package. As a condition for the DOT to let the project, the Recipient agrees that the Recipient has the financial resources to proceed with the project if bids submitted are 110% of the project cost estimate or less. If the Recipient is a city, the Recipient shall comply with the public hearing requirements of the Iowa Code section 26.12.

16. Procurement procedures shall be as follows unless some other method is

considered to be cost effective (such as the use of Recipient local forces), is proposed by the Recipient, and is approved by the DOT.

A. Procurement by small purchase procedures. Small purchase

procedures are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies, or other property that do not cost more (in aggregate) than $25,000 for cities and $50,000 for counties. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations will be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources.

B. Procurement by sealed bids (formal advertising). Bids are publicly

solicited and a firm fixed-price (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price.

C. Procurement by competitive proposals. The technique of

competitive proposals is normally conducted with more than one source submitting an offer, and either a fixed-price or cost-reimbursement type contract is awarded. It is generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids.

D. Procurement by non-competitive proposals is procurement through

solicitation of a proposal from only one source, or after solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. Procurement by non-competitive proposals may be used only when the award of a contract is infeasible under small purchase procedures, sealed bids, or competitive proposals and one of the circumstances noted in Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations – Part 18.36 Procurement.

3


The Recipient shall notify the DOT of the procurement method it intends to use. If procurement method "C" or "D" above is selected, the Recipient shall include justification for its selection and obtain approval from the DOT.

17. For contracts let to sealed bid, the letting shall be conducted by the DOT's

Office of Contracts unless specifically requested and approved otherwise by the parties hereto.

18. If portions of the project are let to sealed bid by the Recipient, the Recipient

shall advertise for bidders ten working days before the letting, make a good faith effort to get at least three (3) bidders, hold a public letting and award contracts for the project work. DOT concurrence in the award must be obtained prior to the award. The Recipient shall provide the DOT file copies of project letting documents within five (5) days after the letting. If the Recipient is not a political subdivision of the State of Iowa, the Recipient shall comply with the applicable laws, administrative rules and procedures for public purchasing and contracting as applicable to political subdivisions of the State of Iowa.

19. When let by the DOT, the DOT will prepare an Iowa DOT Staff Action for

concurrence to award the contract. The DOT will mail three (3) originals of the unexecuted contract(s) to the Recipient.

20. The Recipient shall take action to award the contract or reject all bids.

Following award of the contract and signature by the lowest responsive bidder, the Recipient shall forward to the DOT two (2) copies of the fully executed contract, two (2) copies of the performance bond and two (2) copies of the certificate of insurance.

21. If Federal-aid is requested for force account construction, the Recipient will

follow the procedure outlined by the DOT. 22. The Recipient shall assure compliance with Section 165 of the Surface

Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, 49 U.S.C. 1601, section 337 of the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, and Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations – Parts 660 and 661 regarding "Buy America" provisions on the procurement of foreign products and materials.

23. The Recipient shall assure that all contracts entered in furtherance of this

project shall contain the following provisions:

a. Contain notice of awarding agency requirements and regulations pertaining to reporting.

b. Contain a provision allowing access by the DOT, the Federal

Highway Administration, the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives to any records

4


of the contractor which are directly pertinent to that specific contract for the purpose of making audit, examination, excerpts and transcriptions.

c. Contain a provision requiring retention of all required records for

three years after the contracting agency makes final payments and all other pending matters are closed.

d. Contain mandatory standards and policies relating to energy

efficiency which are contained in the state energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (Pub. L. 94-163, 89 Stat. 871).

e. All contracts for construction or repair shall require compliance with

the Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act (18 U.S.C. 874) as supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR part 3).

f. If the project is within a Federal-aid highway right of way and is in

excess of $2,000, the contract shall require compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR part 5).

g. Construction contracts in excess of $2,000 and other contracts in

excess of $2,500 which involve the employment of mechanics or laborers, shall require compliance with Sections 103 and 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330) as supplemented by Department of Labor Regulations (29 CFR part 5).

with Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, entitled "Equal Employment Opportunity" as amended by Executive order 11375 of October 13, 1967, and as supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (41 CFR chapter 60).

j. If the contract is for more than $100,000, it shall contain

administrative, contractual or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as may be appropriate.

It also requires compliance with all applicable standards, orders, or requirements issued under section 306 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857(h)), section 508 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.

5


1368), Executive Order 11738, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations (40 CFR part 15).

24. The DOT will prepare the Federal-aid Project Agreement and submit it for

FHWA approval and obligation of Federal-aid funds. 25. If the project right of way is federally funded and if the actual construction is

not undertaken by the close of the twentieth fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Federal-aid project agreement is executed, the Recipient will repay the sum or sums of Federal funds in the right of way to the DOT.

26. If this agreement is to fund the Historical Preservation of a structure, the

Recipient shall preserve the architectural, historical and cultural integrity of the structure by maintaining and repairing the property in compliance with "The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitating Historical Buildings". No alterations shall be made to the existing structure without first obtaining the written consent of the State Historical Society of Iowa (State Historic Preservation Officer).

27. If the Recipient, within the next twenty (20) years after project completion,

decides to sell the structure to a private party, or it is now under private ownership, the Recipient shall:

A. Execute a recordable document for preserving the historical and

architectural integrity for twenty (20) years from the date of receipt of public funds; or

B. Repay the State of Iowa all the funds received by the Recipient.
