Consideration of the approval of an agreement allowing Ames Construction to temporarily store
materials related to 66th Street construction on H R A properties located at 1405 and 1407 66th Street
East.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Ames Construction ("Ames") has been hired to complete work on 66th Street as part of the ongoing street-
improvement project. As the project moves to the east side of the c ity, right-of-way area bec omes narrower
and material storage more diffic ult. The HRA currently owns vac ant land located at 1405 and 1407 66th Street
East. Ames has requested that the HRA permit them to store materials and equipment related to the road
project upon these properties.
The agreement allows temporary storage of materials and equipment on the HRA property. Acc ess to the
property is limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays, and between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
on Saturdays. This agreement allows for storage until November 30, 2017 and requires Ames to restore the
property to its original state. Ames will also be responsible for maintenance/mowing during the contract
period. Finally, the attac hed agreement indemnifies the HRA against c laims related to Ames' use of the
property.
