TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Five Flags Civic Center Phase 2 Services Agreement
DATE: November 1, 2018
Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware recommends City Council approval of the Five
Flags Civic Center Phase 2 Services Agreement with Conventions, Sports & Leisure
International for a fee of $68,710. The City has budgeted $93,660 related to
implementation of the Five Flags Study.
At the July 2, 2018 City Council meeting the Five Flags Civic Center Commission
forwarded their unanimous recommendation to receive and file the Five Flags Civic
Center Assessment and Study completed by Conventions, Sports and Leisure
International (CSL). Additionally, they unanimously recommended based upon the
response of the Dubuque community and all the public input that the Council choose
scenario four for the Five Flags renovations.
The City Council during their annual goal setting session in August 2018, adopted for
their Policy Agenda "Five Flags Center: Direction and Funding," as a 2018-2020 Top
Priority. Discussion at the goal setting session was around Scenario 4 with other
scenarios discussed as well.
The City Council asked staff during the goal setting meetings to provide general
direction on next steps and timing possibility for moving forward. It was also shared that
certain next steps would require private involvement if a ballot initiative would be
undertaken.
The initial steps continue to be refined and information gathered as a work group has
been meeting regularly on this City Council Top Priority.
The work group began by looking at the questions that arose during the City Council
discussion on July 2, 2018, City Council goal setting and what have been the questions
asked by citizens and organizations since the study was filed. Presentations were given
during and since the study was filed to the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce Board,
Travel Dubuque Board, Dubuque Rotary, Main Street Board.
Of major importance is a clear understanding of the cost to the taxpayer. The first study
outlined a general conceptual cost. There is now a need to better define the costs.
Staff contacted Conventions, Sports and Leisure International to obtain a Phase 2
proposal to address these and other facts that would be necessary to share detailed
information with the public relating to a project, should one be decided upon. The
proposal is heavily weighted to work items to be completed by Betsch Associates and
FEH Design along with structural, mechanical and environmental subconsultants.
The proposal has a timeframe to complete all information by December 7, 2018 and be
presented to the City Council on December 17, 2018.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Five Flags Civic Center Phase 2 Services Agreement
DATE: October 31, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of the Five Flags
Civic Center Phase 2 Services Agreement.
BACKGROUND
At the July 2, 2018 City Council meeting the Five Flags Civic Center Commission
forwarded their unanimous recommendation to receive and file the Five Flags Civic
Center Assessment and Study completed by Conventions, Sports and Leisure
International (CSL). Additionally, they unanimously recommended based upon the
response of the Dubuque community and all the public input that the Council choose
scenario four for the Five Flags renovations. All documents related to this council
meeting are located at
http://weblink.citvofdubuque.orq/weblink/DocView.aspx?id=1942216&searchid=bfabOc4
e-2a17-4e7e-9b15-7bd2d80a718c&dbid=1 . The document totals 467 pages including
all public input received. The City Council voted to receive and file the documents.
The City Council during their annual goal setting session adopted for their Policy
Agenda with the Five Flags Center: Direction and Funding as a 2018-2020 Top Priority.
Discussion at the goal setting session was around Scenario 4 with other scenarios
discussed as well.
The City Council asked staff during the goal setting meetings to provide general
direction on next steps and timing possibility for moving forward. It was also shared that
certain next steps would require private involvement if a ballot initiative would be
undertaken.
DISCUSSION
The initial steps continue to be refined and information gathered as a work group has
been meeting regularly on this City Council Top Priority. This is to make sure all the
aspects of whatever project is to be considered has the information that will be needed
and made available to the City Council as well as our citizens.
The work group currently consists of City Manager Michael C. Van Milligen, Assistant
City Manager Teri Goodman and Cori Burbach, City Engineer Gus Psihoyos, Project
Manager Steve Brown, Public Information Officer Randy Gehl, City Attorney Crenna
Brumwell, Five Flags Civic Center General Manager HR Cook and myself.
The work group began by looking at the questions that arose during the City Council
discussion on July 2, 2018, City Council goal setting and what have been the questions
asked by citizens and organizations since the study was filed. Presentations were given
during and since the study was filed to the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce Board,
Travel Dubuque Board, Dubuque Rotary, Main Street Board. More are scheduled.
They also researched what the City's role can be if a ballot initiative was to happen.
They researched the timeframes for ballot initiatives.
Citizens and organizations want to know what it will look like. They wish to see an
architecturally clear picture of what a specific project would look like both inside and
outside the building. They want to clearly understand the amenities. They have asked
what kinds of acts you can bring in if you have a larger facility. They wish to understand
the parking needs clearly and that they are met. They want a clearly defined size of
facility and to answer, "is it big enough?". They wish to understand how this complex
can tie into other entertainment districts like Millwork, Port and Chaplain Schmitt. Of
major importance is a clear understanding of the cost to the taxpayer. The first study
outlined a general conceptual cost. There is a need to dig deep and define the costs in
depth meeting with locals and understanding the local market.
Staff reached out to Conventions, Sports and Leisure International to obtain a Phase 2
proposal to address these and other facts that would be necessary to share detailed
information with the public relating to a project, should one be decided upon. The
proposal is heavily weighted to work items to be completed by Betsch Associates and
FEH Design along with structural, mechanical and environmental subconsultants. CSL
will work on components specifically related to the scenario and modeling related to it.
Their services defined as potential assistance areas. This allows the City to determine
as the work of Betsch Associates and FEH moves forward the necessary research that
needs to be done to model based on the specific designs and decisions. One topic will
be a deeper dive into parking as the specifics of design are known.
The proposal has a timeframe to complete all information by December 7, 2018 and be
presented to the City Council on December 17, 2018.

Dear Ms. Ware:
This letter ('�Letter'� sets forth our understanding of the terms and objectives of the engagement
of Conventions, Sports&Leisure International ('�CSL'� and the City of Dubuque(��Client'� to provide
additional consulting services related to the Five Flags Civic Center('�FFCC�Assessment and Study.
CSL will perform these services with the assistance of BetschAssociates, Inc. and FEH Design, who
will separately subcontract with CSL. This Letter also provides the nature and limitations of the
services to be provided and the related fee arrangement.
Scope of Services
It is understood that the Client desires to advance planning associated with a potential major
renovation/improvement project for the FFCC. Specifically, the services to be provided include
various research and investigation into estimated development costs and funding issues associated
with the proposed FFCC project, as well as on-call advisory assistance.
In association with FEH Design, BetschAssociates, Inc. will perform the following scope of services:
1. Initial three-day site visit to complete the following tasks:
a. Review of the scope of Option 4 that was created with the Assessment and Study. This
review will include meetings with City staff and the FFCC staff to gain feedback on the
City planning issues, site work, arena design, extent of support facilities, and scope of
theatre upgrades to create a consensus for the scope and overall direction of the
project.
b. Meeting with Chris Brown and the City engineering staff to identify utility issues
associated with the construction of the arena and the closing of 5th Street. We will also
meet with the City staff and consult with an environmental design firm to review
potential issues associated with the clean-up of the existing service station located on
the properry.
c. Meeting with Chris Kohlman, the City IT staff, and private utility contractors to do a
walk-through of the existing fiber optic line in the Five Flags Center and a review of
other potential communication lines which would need to be addressed with the
construction of the arena.

d. Building walk-through with structural and mechanical engineers to identify renovation
items and potential design issues associated with the addition of the arena.
e. Meeting with the City staff and outside groups such as the symphony, Fly-By-Night
Productions, Rising Star Theatre Company,the Civic Center Commission, and the other
appropriate community groups to gain their feedback on the design of the arena, the
renovation of the theatre, and the overall direction for the project.
2. Refinement of Option 4 per the input received in the initial site visit. This will include a
development of the site plan, floor plans, and exterior building sketches to serve as the
basis for the estimate of project cost.
3. Development of a detailed estimate of project cost for Option 4 including property
acquisition, environmental remediation, utility relocation, site work, renovation, new
construction, FF&E, soft costs, escalation to the mid-point of construction, and project
contingency. The estimate will include a summary of key programmatic components, toilet
fixture counts, finishes, and systems which support the project cost.
4. Second two-day site visit to complete the following tasks:
a. Meetings with local general contractors and subcontractors to renew unit costs for
union labor in Dubuque and to anticipate the level of activity in the subcontractor
market.
b. Meeting with the Five Flags Center and City staff to review the refinement of the
building conceptual design,the proposed project cost, and potential funding strategies
forthe project.
5. Development of eight (8) color renderings for the building exterior (2), the interior of the
seating bowl, an arena suite, the arena lobby, the arena concourse, the interior of the
theatre with the stage, and the theatre lobby, to convey the image of the project for the
fundraising campaign. These renderings will require some detailed development of the
design for these areas and will be based upon design input received during the second site
visit.
6. Third two-day site visit to brief the City staff and FFCC and present the final cost estimate
and renderings to the City Council on December ll, 2018. This is predicated on completion
of this scope of work in conjunction with CSL by December 7, 2018.

2. Refine Concept, Update Kev Studv Assumptions &Models
Utilizing the results of the previously conducted FFCC Assessment and Study and our past
experience and knowledge of industry best practices, we will work collaboratively with
team members to further refine pertinent detail, assumptions, funding, and
implementation and business planning issues as they relate to reaction to project concepts,
including, but not limited to, physical characteristics and amenities, market positioning,
configuration at the project site, parking needs/opportunities, marketing opportunities and
challenges,fit and connectivity within the downtown and greater destination/marketplace,
ownership/management scenarios, operational issues, retail and other revenue-generating
opportunities, and other such items. We will update research and analysis, as appropriate,
to revise key analysis and findings associated with the previously-conducted study. We
will update our utilization, attendance,financial operating, and economic impact models to
reflect the most appropriate set of assumptions and estimates regarding the identified
FFCC scenario. We will also generate additional data and analysis to demonstrate the
market capture,financial operating and economic impact implications ofvariations in major
facility components (i.e., seating levels and key amenities). Tax revenues and associated
impacts generated by the FFCC project will also be analyzed and estimated.
3. Funding Analysis/Modeling
We will identify and summarize financing sources and the extent to which facility/core
element development may require funding from external sources to fund project
operations and debt service. The analysis will focus on both financing mechanisms and
the project revenue sources that could be used to partially fund facility development and/or
ongoing operations. We will provide information and case studies of other comparable
projects throughout the region and country related to funding approaches, vehicles, and
revenue sources (public and private). Working with the project team and City Finance
personnel and/or designated financial advisors/bond counsel, we will identify, assess and
integrate various funding assumptions and sources within our overall financial models.
4. Additional Best Practices and Advisory Services
a. Development of additional research and analysis, as needed and specifically
requested by the City throughout the planning process, including those related to
updated financial operating analysis, funding/financing issues, market capture,
attendance, utilization, occupancy, parking requirements/needs, economic/tax
impacts, etc.
b. Access to a large proprietary database of industry research, agreement documents
from comparable facility projects (i.e., Development Agreements, P3
(public/private partnership) Agreements, Private Management Agreements,
Marketing Agreements, Food Service, Naming Rights/Sponsorship Agreements,
and other service provider agreements, etc.).
c. Assistance in identifying and evaluating funding options for the project, with a
focus on both industry best practices as well as specific opportunities present in
Dubuque and Iowa.
d. Evaluation and negotiation assistance with key terms associated with a variety of
potential or identified agreements involving the public sector and private parties.
e. Assistance in reviewing programmatic and design documents related to the FFCC
project, and other project elements upon their development and refinement.
Ms. Marie L. Ware
October 25, 2018

relative to business planning and development implementation aspects for the

among parties.
g. Otherindustry-related and project-specific areas, as requested by the Client, as
reasonable with consideration of total available engagement budget capacity.
