INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
All -Americo City
2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the construction contract for the
Wilbricht Lane Detention Basin Project.
BACKGROUND
With the adoption of the FY18 CIP Budget, the City Council established $50,000 for the
Wilbricht Detention Basin Project.
Through the budget amendment process, the City Council allocated additional funding
for the project establishing $457,993.00 for the project in FY22.
The proposed Wilbricht Lane Detention Basin will address the localized flooding that
has occurred along Glendale Court. And while additional drainage improvements may
be in order, the proposed improvements will reduce the flow of runoff to downstream
facilities, alleviating the flooding issues at Marmora Avenue and behind the houses on
McPoland Avenue.
On April 4, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution 124-22 approving the plans,
specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the Wilbricht Lane Detention
Basin Project, in the estimated amount $ 448,323.50.
