From: Alexis M. Steger, Housing & Community Development Director
Subject: Signed Contracts for 812 Garfield and 514 Angella Projects
Date: April 12, 2023
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque acquired the properties at 514 Angella Street and 821 Garfield
Avenue by petition for title of abandoned property. They are both currently under
construction by the Four Mounds HEART programs for youth and adults for the purpose
of rehabilitating and selling them to low -mod income first-time homebuyers.
The City and Four Mounds HEART have a contract whereby the City provides homes
for HEART to rehabilitate, and the City sells the homes after. Each property is
contracted for rehabilitation with HEART separately, sometimes in phases. Department
Director, Alexis Steger, is authorized to sign these contracts, however payment
requests from Four Mounds must be authorized through City Council. By authorizing the
contract in full, the payments against them can be made with any check batch, which
provides a better service to our partner.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I respectfully request the City Council approve and file the signed contracts for 821
Garfield and 514 Angella.

Manager

REHABILITATION CONTRACT
The Contract is between City of Dubuque, in Dubuque, Iowa, (referred to herein as the
"Owner") and Four Mounds Foundation / HEART Program, Dubuque, IA (referred to herein
as the "Contractor") warranting itself to be licensed, (if applicable), and qualified to perform the
work specified herein. This contract is for the property located at 821 Garfield Avenue in
Dubuque, Iowa (referred to herein as the "Property").
In consideration of their mutual promises, the parties agree as follows:
SPECIFIC TERMS
1. Effective Date. This document shall have no force or effect unless and until executed
by the owner and the contractor, and approved by the City of Dubuque, Iowa (referred to herein
as the "City"), and unless and until a properly executed and approved copy is delivered to the
Contractor on or before sixty days from the date that bid was returned to the owner, the
Contractor may refuse to be bound by the terms of this Contract. If, however, a properly
executed and approved copy of this Contract is delivered after the above date and the
Contractor subsequently performs work or delivers material to the Property, the Contractor shall
be bound by the Contract. For the purposes of this paragraph, a copy of this Contract shall be
deemed to have been delivered to and received by the Contractor upon mailing by the City to
the Contractor's address shown above. The Contractor shall not be compensated under this
Contract for work commenced or materials delivered to the Property before the Effective Date.
2. The Contract. This Contract consists only of the Specific Terms and the following
which must be on file in the rehab office:
A. Schedule of Work (Project Scope): Work write up Rev. 4-26-2022, Floor Plan Drawing
dated 5-10-2022.
B. Insurance Certificate:
C. Due to the presence of minors under the HEART Program umbrella, the Owner
must provide a signed "Certification Regarding Sex Abuse Registry" form to be
herein contained in this contract as Addendum (1).
3. Contractor shall provide insurance as required by the attached insurance schedule.
4. Time for Commencement and Completion. The Contractor agrees to commence, or
cause to be commenced, the actual work described in the Schedule of Work within fourteen
days after the Effective Date. The Contractor agrees to complete, free of liens or rights of liens
of contractors, mechanics, material men or laborers, all work listed in the Schedule of Work by
October 1, 2023. The Contractor agrees that time is of the essence in this Contract.
Page 1 of 7
In the event that the work provided for in this contract is not completed by the completion date,
the amount payable to the contractor shall be reduced by $25 for each day the contract
remains uncompleted beyond the completion date. The completion date may be extended by
all the parties by a written agreement specifying the amended completion date.
5. Contract Price. The Contractor agrees to accomplish work as described in the
Schedule of Work in accordance with each and every term and condition of this Contract, for a
total contract price of $282,700.00
NOTE: PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL BUILDING, HEATING, PLUMBING AND
ELECTRICAL JOBS. PAYMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL WE HAVE A COPY OF THE
PERMIT OR PERMIT NUMBER.
6. Progress Payments. 10% OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT WILL BE HELD
UNTIL 100% OF THE JOB IS DONE AND A FINAL INSPECTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
The Contractor agrees that the total contract price shall be paid in one or more progress
payments, based on the value of the work completed at the time the progress payment request
is made. Should any work, for which payment is requested, not be completed, be completed
incorrectly, or not be done in a high quality workmanlike manner, the amount of such work shall
be deducted from the payment request. Payment for any work so deducted may be requested
on future requests for payment, provided, said work has been satisfactorily completed and the
reason for the initial denial of payment no longer exists. Partial lien waivers from all
subcontractors, major material suppliers, and the general contractor, as applicable, shall be
provided with each progress payment requested. Final lien waivers will be presented, from all
applicable parties, at the time the request for final payment is made. Such progress payments
shall be disbursed at the request of the Owner(s), after inspection and approval of the work by
the owner(s) and the City, less a hold back/retainage of 10% of the amount of work for which
payment is being requested (adjusted as applicable and as stated above). The holdback shall
be retained until final payment in order to protect the Owner from any default by the Contractor.
Final payment shall be due upon satisfactory completion and acceptance of work as being in
compliance with this Contract by the Owner and the City, permit sign -off (if applicable),
submission of satisfactory waiver(s) of liens, or a bond satisfactory to the Owner and the City
indemnifying the Owner against any lien, and the submission of all warranties and guarantees
to the Owner through the City. The Owner shall not withhold payment to the Contractor except
for non- compliance with the terms of this Contract, and SHALL NOT REQUEST THE
CONTRACTOR TO PERFORM WORK OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS CONTRACT AS A
CONDITION OF RECEIVING PAYMENT. Any work completed that is not in compliance with
the terms set out in the Schedule of Work will not be paid for out of the rehabilitation funds
unless said additions/deletions/changes have been authorized by a written and approved
change order executed by all parties PRIOR to the commencement of such work. Payment for
any work completed without a written and approved change order is the SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER AND/OR THE CONTRACTOR. The Contractor shall not
refuse to complete the work set forth in the Schedule of Work because of any dispute between
himself/herself and the Owner relative to work contracted "on the side" or outside the scope of
work as set forth above.
The Contractor acknowledges that it is a material breach of this Contract to request or accept a
progress or final payment which is in excess of the price of the work (less the required
hold back/retainage) completed at the time such payment is requested.
7. Warranty. The Contractor warrants that all improvements, hardware and fixtures of
whatever kind or nature to be installed or constructed on the Property by the Contractor or the
