2017*2019
The enclosed resolution is in reference to the public hearing for the Northwest Arterial -
State of Good Repair Project from US20 to John F. Kennedy Road, Iowa DOT Project
No. STBG-SWAP-2100 (702)--SG-31.
BACKGROUND
Dubuque County was awarded a BUILD Grant to make capacity and safety improvements
to John Deere Road. The Northwest Arterial - State of Good Repair Project was added to
the BUILD grant project because it is a critical freight route that connects to South John
Deere Road. The Northwest Arterial - State of Good Repair Project will provide the non-
federal local match to the Dubuque County BUILD Grant.
The Northwest Arterial project was originally anticipated to be completed by the Iowa
DOT, however as part of the executed Transfer of Jurisdiction Agreement (TOJ), the City
agreed to be the lead local agency responsible for completing the Northwest Arterial -
State of Good Repair improvements.
Effective January 29, 2021, the TOJ of the Northwest Arterial was completed from the
State of Iowa to the City as part of the Southwest Arterial project. As part of the roadway
transfer, the Iowa DOT has issued a state of good repair payment to the City in the amount
of $5,672,000 to complete pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Northwest
Arterial from US20 to Central Ave / IA3.
DISCUSSION
The project work limits for the Northwest Arterial - State of Good Repair will be from US20
to John F. Kennedy Road, and will include pavement rehabilitation of the southbound
lanes, reconstruction of the northbound lanes, and the reconstruction of both the
Pennsylvania Ave. and Asbury Rd. intersections.
The work on the southbound lanes will include 4 ft. wide asphalt shoulders and 1.5-inch
milling and resurfacing with an asphalt overlay. The work on the northbound lanes will
include the removal of the existing concrete pavement, excavation for new stone base,
installation of pavement subdrains, new 12-inch stone base and new 13.5-inch asphalt
pavement. The Pennsylvania Ave. intersection will be fully reconstructed with asphalt
pavement and the east half of the Asbury Rd. intersection will be reconstructed with
asphalt pavement.
In August 2019, the City was awarded an Iowa DOT Traffic Safety Improvement Program
(TSIP) Grant (Iowa DOT Project No. CS-TSF-2100 (700)--85-31) to assist with the
construction to extend the existing eastbound left -turn lane on Northwest Arterial at John
F. Kennedy Road. Northwest Arterial — State of Good Repair Project will include this left
turn lane improvement that will extend the existing eastbound Northwest Arterial
dedicated left turn lane onto JFK Road to an approximate 400' storage length.
The Northwest Arterial — State of Good Repair Project will be packaged and bid as part
of Dubuque County's John Deere Road Build project, which is scheduled for letting on
April 19, 2022, through the Iowa DOT in Ames. The City and County projects were moved
by the Iowa DOT from the March 2022 letting due to the large number of projects
submitted state-wide for the March bid letting.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The project development schedule for the Northwest Arterial - State of Good Repair
Project from US20 to JF Kennedy Road is as follows:

2023 Construction Season Start Date (Approx.)
April 15, 2023
Project Final Completion Date
August 18, 2023
The project construction schedule has been developed in a manner which allows for the
safety of the traveling public and contractor as well as provides multiple construction
phases to reduce traffic delay and minimize impact to schools and businesses through
the corridor. The first phase of the project will require the contractor to complete the
Pennsylvania and Asbury intersection reconstruction work before school starts in August
of 2022. The pavement rehabilitation of the southbound lanes requires the contractor to
work at night between 7 pm and 7 am.
Due to the magnitude and scope of the work, and the multiple construction sequencing
stages required to maintain traffic flow through the NW Arterial corridor, the project will
not be to be fully completed this construction season. The contract specified completion
date is August 18, 2023.
CENTRAL AVENUE / WHITE STREET TRUCK ROUTE
Prior to the TOJ of the Northwest Arterial from the State of Iowa to the City and the re -
designation and rerouting of US52, the city ordinance regulating commercial motor
vehicles was amended to allow motor trucks to continue to use the Central Avenue and
White Street corridor as an authorized truck route through December 31, 2022. This date
was established prior to the full scope of work was known for the Northwest Arterial -
State of Good Repair Project, which now has a completion date of August 2023.
City staff will be meeting to discuss the Central Avenue and White Street corridor and if
the city ordinance regulating commercial motor vehicles will need to be amended to
accommodate the Northwest Arterial project extending into 2023.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend City Council approve the plans, specifications, form of contract and
estimated cost for the Northwest Arterial - State of Good Repair Project.
