RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF
A JOINT USE DIGITAL FLOOD LEVEL GAUGE
FOR DUCK CREEK
FOR THE CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA
WHEREAS, in its review of the impact of the April/May 2019 Mississippi River flood,
the City Council accepted a recommendation to solicit information about installing a digitally-
connected stream sensor (flood gauge) in Riverdale on Duck Creek; and,
WHEREAS; the City did consult with a specialist at the Iowa Flood Center, Maxwell
Stanley Hydraulics Laboratory at the University of Iowa, Iowa City (Iowa Flood Center), who
accepted his observations that Riverdale is located midway between the major flood gauges
located at the Mississippi River Lock and Dams 14 and 15, LeClaire, Iowa and Rock Island,
Illinois, and that Riverdale is also impacted by flows both from and into Duck Creek, a
significant watershed affecting both Riverdale and adjoining Bettendorf, Iowa, and therefore an
additional gauge would provide additional useful data; and,
WHEREAS, officials at the Iowa Flood Center at the Maxwell Stanley Hydraulics
Laboratory, the City of Bettendorf, and the Scott County, Iowa Emergency Management Agency
all find that incorporating such a flood gauge into the Iowa Flood Information System (IFIS)
would be of value both to Riverdale and the region in terms of flood emergency planning; and,
WHEREAS, the Iowa Flood Center has proposed installing a digital flood gauge on or
near the Riverdale/ Bettendorf boundary on Duck Creek at the U.S. 67 bridge, or alternately, at
the CP Rail bridge, for a cost of approximately $3,600.00; and,
WHEREAS, officials with the City of Bettendorf and the Scott County Emergency
Management Agency have offered to contribute one-third each to the cost of said flood gauge;
and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Riverdale finds it to be in the interest for the
health, welfare and safety of its residents and the community to authorize the purchase and
installation of said flood gauge.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RIVERDALE, SCOTT COUNTY, IN THE STATE OF IOWA:
Section 1. That the City Council accepts the recommendations to purchase and have
installed by the Iowa Flood Center a digitally-connected IFS stream sensor/flood gauge for a
cost of approximately $3,600.00, at a location on or near the Riverdale/ Bettendorf boundary on
Duck Creek at the U.S. 67 bridge, or alternately, at the CP Rail bridge,to be determined by the
City of Riverdale and the Iowa Flood Center.
Section 2. That the City Clerk shall execute an order to the Iowa Flood Center to order
the purchase and installation of said IFS stream sensor/flood gauge.

the City of Bettendorf, in care of Brent Morlock, City Engineer at Bettendorf Public Works
Department, 4303 Devil's Glen Road, Bettendorf, IA 52722; and to David Donovan, Scott
County Emergency Management Coordinator, 1100 46th Street, Davenport, IA 52807.
Section 4. That the City Clerk shall initiate such orders to provide for the digital cell
phone connection for said flood gauge in order to integrate it with the Iowa Flood Information
System, and that the City of Riverdale shall be thereafter solely responsible for the current
$10.00 per month cost of service.

Importance: High
Good afternoon, Breanna,
Thanks for the background work and proposal for the gauge for Duck Creek at the Riverdale/ Bettendorf boundary. In
the interest of the benefit Riverdale's one residential neighborhood subject to flooding from both the Mississippi and
Duck Creek, the City of Riverdale will take the lead on this project.
Riverdale's contact for billing for the gauge installation and for the monthly cellular bill will be City Clerk Ron Fullerlove,
whose information I have attached here.

We are taking another look at the location of the gauge's installation, with some thinking that the CP Railroad bridge
could be a "better" indicator, and while we have had some indication that CP would permit that, it's a difficult
installation,whereas the U.S.67 (State St) bridge located at the corporate limits is easier to get to, and we have
reasonable certainty of getting an IaDOT permit from Sheila Lee's DOT office here in Davenport.
I anticipate that given the low overall $3,600 cost of installation, Riverdale could front-end the entire cost, and invoice
Scott County and Bettendorf$1,200 each for their share, and absorb the full $10/month charge for cell service to
connect the gauge into the network. You're right, Anthony, it wouldn't be worth the trouble to split that monthly cost
out between the three units of government.
If either Bettendorf or Scott County Council or Board would require a more formal agreement for sharing the installation
cost, let me know.
I will write up a City of Riverdale Resolution for next week's Council meeting and circulate it FYI.
Is there an agreement form for committing the university to provide this unit, and the City to pay for it?
Thanks!

Hi Anthony,
I've shared your message with our engineer who manages our stream sensor network. From an installation perspective,
the HWY 67 bridge will work.The installation cost would be $3,600 and the city would be responsible for the$10/month
cell phone bill.
The flooding causes and effects prompting your interest in one of our gauges (flashy creek, Mississippi River, levee
impacts, etc.) is similar to another gauge we installed for Davenport on Blackhawk Creek on Concord Street.As Riverdale
determines the usefulness of an IFC stream gauge, it may be beneficial for you to visit with Davenport about their
experiences with the Blackhawk Creek site.
Once funding is secured, I will need the following:
- Contact name and billing address for the sensor
- Contact name and billing address for the cell bill (if different than above)
I would need to obtain permissions to install at this location.An invoice would be sent after installation.
Let me know what questions you have and please reach out when you are ready to move forward.
Thank you!

No problem Breanna! I had thrown out $3500 as a number I remembered. Glad to hear we're on par there still.
Would you recommend we put this on the agenda and get the money approved or wait to hear if you definitely
can do this?

Hi Anthony,
I apologize or my delay! Thank you for your patience.
Our IFC stream sensors typically cost$3,500-$5,000 to build and install. In addition, this covers data
transmission to the Iowa Flood Information System (IFIS). We are asking communities to take on the
$10/month cell phone fees.
We're happy to look into a gage at this location further and provide any feedback. I will share this with
our engineer who manages the stream sensor network to get his input and will be in touch.
In the meantime, don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions about our IFC stream sensors.
Thank you!

Subject: [External] River Gage for Riverdale
Breanna,
We (Tim, our city administrator, and I) have been requested to look into getting a river
gage installed (either staff or digital) at Duck Creek in Riverdale as we have a
vulnerable to flooding neighborhood there. This area is affected in a unique way by
3
both backwater Mississippi flooding and more dangerous, flashy, Duck Creek flooding of
which neither of the 3 nearest gages can properly depict for residents. We have
several bridges we could mount it to (bike trail, US 67, two RR bridges - CP is in not-
yet-official support of this, although I think US-67 would be the best choice). Our
County EMA and neighboring city staff have also professed some not-yet-official interest
in supporting us in this sort of thing. There is a limited amount of funding we have
available to support such an effort. Can you provide an estimate of what it would cost
to get on the IFIS network and how we would go about doing that? I know we can't
afford a fancy USGS type gage, but I thought one of your more affordable bridge
mounted sensors would do the trick for us.
<image002.png>
US 67 = State St in this graph. I think just downstream of the bridge would be the
most useful place to have a gage. The area between the two railroad bridges has a
levee system, and below the railroads is open space and areas that are also
leveed. Between State St and the u/s most railroad bridge are several unprotected
homes however. Upstream of State St is a similar scenario, but starts to get away from
Mississippi impacts.
Please let us know what you think.
Thanks,
Anthony Heddlesten, P.E., CFM
