5. Narrative of proposed work to be completed
The City of Waterloo is proposing to acquire the property at 1720 Black Hawk Road, which is
owned by R & L Investment, Inc. The property in question has a single family home and a
salvage yard business located on it. The property is located within the floodway of Black Hawk
Creek, and a hydraulic study by AECOM shows that the presence of the salvage yard causes
an increase in flood heights, having a negative impact on surrounding properties, including
several homes and the Katowski Greenbelt. Due to environmental issues, the acquisition of the
property is not eligible through FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, and no other funding
sources have been identified. The purchase of the property is a priority for the City due to the
impact of the use on flood heights and surrounding properties. As part of the acquisition, the
occupants and business would be relocated to a non-floodplain site. The site has frequent flash
flooding from Black Hawk Creek. Due to the use of the site as a salvage yard, the City of
Waterloo also has high concerns for automobile fluids, freon, and other contaminents being
released into Black Hawk Creek and the Cedar River.
6. Anticipated cost, to include details of major cost elements
Acquisition of property - $100,000
Relocation of business - $140,000
Relocation of occupants - $10,000

9. Performance measures and basis of evaluation for project
The home and salvage yard are located within a floodway and a hydraulic study performed by
AECOM has shown that their presence causes a rise in flood heights, therefore the acquisition
and removal of the home and business will have a positive impact on future flooding and
remove the occupants from harms way. The occupants operate the salvage yard business and
the family of 10 reside on the properly, including a chile that is in a wheelchair. The flash
flooding of the area and the 2008 disaster events have caused Public Safety personnel to help
evacuate occupants by boat.

5. Narrative of proposed work to be completed
For ground water mitigation this project involves the the installation of two (2) new sump
systems and the improvement of three (3) existing systems. The flooding City Hall experienced
during the flood event of 2008 was the infiltertion of ground water into the basement area from
the hydraulic pressure. The proposed sumps will relieve that pressure to the sump systems so
the water can be pumped out through a controled system.
The 2 new systems will inculde the excavation of one 4' x 8' sump pit with the installation of a
1.5 hp pump and a 3' x 3' sump pit with a 3/4 hp pump. Both new sumps will have to be hand
excavated and installed. The largest expense will be experienced in the redesign and
installation of an existing pit in the Generator room. This will require the remove) of the existing
pit and the hand excavation of a 6' x 10' sump with poured walls with two (2) 1.5 hp pumps
piped to the exterior of the building. The installation of the pit will require the removal of an old
generator and motor. The two (2) existing sumps are in the elevator pits and need to be
enlarged with larger pumps.
The major expense will be the excavation of the pits along with the construction of the new. The
total project is estimated by Gilmor and Doyle of Waterloo to cost about $125,000 excluding
design fees. We will need about 150,000 including design fees with a contingency.
6. Anticipated cost, to include details of major cost elements
Labor cost for sump excavation and installation of new. $90,000
Pumps with installation including electrical $30,000
