INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides a status update on the Dubuque Brewing and Malting project
at 3000 Jackson Street.
BACKGROUND
February 5, 2024 staff presented a memo to update the City Council providing the
following information:
The building has been tested for asbestos and it was positive for asbestos around pipes,
which was expected. Upon the removal of the pipes by an asbestos abatement contractor,
it was noted that the mastic used to apply the cork panels on the interior of the walls may
be asbestos. It was sent to the lab for testing and came back positive. This will require
the removal of approximately 20,000 square feet equating to 200 cubic yards of material
before further demolition can occur.
The piping has been removed and the removal of the mastic/cork panels has begun. A
chute is being constructed to the interior courtyard to facilitate the removal of the
materials.
Staff require daily updates from the owner, and if they are not provided a site visit is
conducted at 3:00pm each day. Any day which a reasonable amount of work is not
completed, and the owner is unresponsive, a municipal infraction will be issued. To date,
no municipal infractions have been issued as the demolition is meeting a reasonable
timeline based on the presence of asbestos.
DISCUSSION
The chute to remove the asbestos material has been constructed and materials are being
removed this week.
Zinser, the construction company hired by the owner, has submitted the following
timeline:
- Mobilize and setup equipment March 11 — March 15
- Demolition of building — March 18 — April 5th
- Cleanup of site April 8 — April 12
The owner has requested that the building be demolished above the third floor and then
the remainder would be demolished with the intent to salvage and recycle usable building
materials. City staff are only recommending this option if the entire demolition scope of
work is included, with no break in work until the entire building is demolished.
Code Official Mike Belmont contacted David Zinser to obtain a status update on the
demolition permit sign offs from utility companies. David indicated that they are working
with Alliant to schedule power lines to be de -energized and removed; however, the owner
has not given the authorization to proceed with the project so the application will not be
submitted until that is received by Zinser. Mike Belmont has contacted Alliant to get a
timeline commitment for the power line removal to determine if the schedule submitted by
Zinser is reasonable, or if it is being held up by the owner failing to allow the contractor to
begin work.
Staff also received information that the previous structural engineer hired by Steve
Emerson is no longer working on the project.
RECOMMENDATION
This memo is for information only.

Enclosed are asbestos analysis results for PLM Bulk samples received at our laboratory on
January 26, 2024. The samples were analyzed for asbestos using polarizing light microscopy
(PLM) per the EPA 600 Method.
Sample results containing >1 % asbestos are considered asbestos -containing materials
(ACMs) per EPA regulatory requirements. The detection limit for the EPA 600 Method is <1 %
asbestos by weight as determined by visual estimation.
Thank you for your business and we look forward to continuing good relations.

Due to the limitations of the EPA 600 method, nonfriable organically bound materials (NOBs) such as
vinyl floor tiles can be difficult to analyze via polarized light microscopy (PLM). EPA recommends that
all NOBs analyzed by PLM, and found not to contain asbestos, be further analyzed by Transmission
Electron Microscopy (TEM). Please note that PLM analysis of dust and soil samples for asbestos is
not covered under NVLAP accreditation. Estimated measurement of uncertainty is available on
request.

DEMOLITION PLAN
D.W. Zinser Company Inc plans to demolish the structure formerly known as
Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company located at 3000 Jackson street,
Dubuque ,Iowa.
Per the report by WHKS Engineers dated August 11t", 2023, it was determined
that portions of the structure have been deemed a significant danger to the
public and in danger of imminent collapse.
As a precautionary measure, the streets surrounding the site have been
closed, barricaded and fenced by the owner and the City of Dubuque. D.W.
Zinser Company has previously submitted a site fencing plan showing
placement of chain link fencing per the City of Dubuque and has met their
approval. Proper warning signage will also be placed to prevent unauthorized
access to the area.
D.W. Zinser Company has placed protective materials onto the city Streets
including sand and/or rock in a layer to prevent falling debris and demolition
equipment from damaging the street surfaces. Additional material will be
placed as needed as the work commences.
Prior to physical demolition activities, all known hazardous materials have
been previously removed by the owner. Clearance reports have verified such
completion. All utilities servicing this specific structure have been identified,
cut, capped, de energized and otherwise abandoned. Verification thru the
various entities providing services to the structure has been accomplished
and verified thru the process of securing a Cityof Dubuque demolition permit.
Notification to the Iowa DNR thru the 10 Day process will be completed prior
to demolition activities.
The overhead electrical lines along Jackson street will be removed prior to any
placement of heavy equipment on Jackson street and prior to any demolition
activities due to the possible collapse of the highest portion of the structure
known as the "TOWER".
Demolition of the highest portion of the structure will begin utilizing a crawler
crane and wrecking ball systematically demolishing the structure from top to
bottom. A Ultra High Demolition machine wilt assist the crane in the process
of continually reducing the height of the structure to a Level in which the
structure has been reduced to a rubble pile. During this process, water and a
dust machine will be utilized to reduced dust from migrating from the site,
weather permitting. It should be noted that freezing temperatures could
prevent water from being sprayed and would also contribute to an unsafe
situation should freezing occur.
As the demolition process continues, smaller hydraulic demolition
equipment will be used to remove structural members and debris as needed
to facilitate eventual completion of the demolition of the structure.
Upon completion of the demolition, all streets will be cleaned of protective
materials, dust, debris and other items to allow travel on the streets per City
of Dubuque approval.
