INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to clarify the funding source for the design contract with
Origin Design for the Dubuque Industrial Center: Crossroads project at the U.S.
Highway 151/61/52 Interchange.
BACKGROUND
On January 18, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract
with Origin Design for the design of the Dubuque Industrial Center: Crossroads project.
DISCUSSION
The information provided to City Council on January 18, 2021 laid out the selection of
Origin Design as the firm with which to enter into a contract. The City Manager was
authorized by City Council to negotiate a contract with an estimated cost between
$550,000 and $700,000 for this work. However, the memo provided did not clarify the
funding source.
BUDGETIMPACT
The complete design project includes a requested Fiscal Year 2022 appropriation to be
funded with Chavenelle road reconstruction project savings, subject to a future budget
amendment. Using FY22 funds allows the design process to begin immediately, which
assists the City with developing the industrial sites in a timeframe that would
accommodate future development if a company were to take interest in that area of the
industrial park.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
These funds are currently available, and I respectfully request City Council authorization
to utilize these funds.
