The Ames City Council will convene Tuesday evening to finalize the College of Veterinary Medicine building construction project.

The council will discuss the resolution accepting final completion of Vet Med substation expansion construction. The meeting will be to officially declare the project complete and to pay the contractor $1,259,132.43 for the construction. The City Council awarded a contract to National Conductor Constructors of Brainerd, Minn., in September 2010 and it was completed in 2011.

The council also will host a hearing on Vet Med substation capasitor banks. Essentially, the resolution will approve final plans and specifications and award a contract to Controllix Corporation of Walton Hills, Ohio, in the amount of $218,379, plus applicable sales taxes.

The City Council will discuss the resolution approving a contract with URS Corporation in an amount not to exceed $462,509 for architectural and engineering services for the CyRide Facility Construction project.

The Ames Police also will present a staff report on penalties for parking.

Finally, the council will discuss a resolution approving an agreement with Benesch Engineering to facilitate value planning for a new water treatment plant. The plant was constructed to provide the Ames municipal utilities increased capacity to serve the growing industrial and residential growth, along with present customers.

The Ames City Council awarded the contract to FOX Engineering to develop a plan for a 15-million-gallon-per-day water treatment plant in September 2011. The value planning study is essentially a second opportunity to re-examine the impact of the project and to ensure that outcomes will reach targeted goals for service and price. The council is proposing that the study be performed before the final completion and opening of the facility.

The meeting will start at 8:30 p.m. in the Ames City Council Chambers at City Hall.
