Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Marie Ware, Leisure Services Director sa�t��''`� � Wally Wernimont, Planning Services Director SUBJECT: Approve Jeffries Foundation Grant Application Submission and Authorize City Manager to Execute Grant Agreement and Contract for a Historic Structure Report for Eagle Point Park DATE: April 9, 2024 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this memo is to request Mayor and City Council approval of the application to Jeffries Foundation Jeffris Heartland Fund to develop a Historic Structures Report (HSR) for the Alfred Caldwell designed buildings at Eagle Point Park and authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with the Jeffries Foundation and contract for the Historic Structures report. BACKGROUND Eagle Point Park is a National Register Historic District and a Dubuque Landmark Site. The site has a mixture of buildings that contribute to its history, which are in different stages of repair. To plan and utilize City funding wisely, an HSR is needed to assess and prioritize work to be accomplished on each of the historic structures. Eagle Point Park has many structures (some of which are Caldwell designed) and an important cultural landscape. The previously budgeted city funding will not be enough to move forward all the work involved in an HSR for the site. We convened a team of Leisure Services and Planning Department staff to pursue additional sources of funds, identifying the Jeffris Family Foundation (Jeffris) and determined it a good fit for funding to develop the HSR. If a Heartland Fund grant is received from Jeffris, it could position the city to leverage additional funds for restoration from the structures, up to $1 million matching funds for bricks and mortar. Jeffris has a hands-on approach to projects and guided the City to work with a local 501 c3. In a previous City Council action on March 8, 2024, Heritage Works was the 1 grant applicant with the city providing the matching funds for the grant. Heritage Works was then going to engage Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc. to complete the HSR. Heritage Works was prepared to work on the application to Jeffries for up to $1 million in capital improvements to be matched with a $1 million fundraising drive. After receipt of the grant application from Heritage Works, Jeffris reached out the City and requested that the City become the grant applicant due to changes in their granting structure. Heritage Works has acknowledged and understands this new request from Jeffris Foundation. DISCUSSION The Jeffris Heartland Fund grant will support the Historic Structures Report for Eagle Point Park. The historic structure assessment will prioritize work to be accomplished on each of the Alfred Caldwell-designed historic structures. The project would be completed within one year of a grant award. Eagle Point Park is dearly loved by our community. A completed HSR would provide the necessary information to pursue a challenge grant for bricks and mortar in the future. Heritage Works has been contacted and would assist with matching fundraising campaign in those later phases. The HSR will provide the details we as a city need to preserve the structures and cultural heritage of Eagle Point Park. Included with the work is an Order of Magnitude Costs that provides us with necessary estimates for fundraising. A successful project could further lead to additional bricks and mortar grants in the future from Jeffris through their Capital Campaign Challenge Grants program. Anticipated Amount: $50,000 Match Required: Yes Match Funding Source: City of Dubuque capital funding (FY24) Match Amount: $75,000 Application Due Date: 4/16/24 Anticipated Notification Date: 4/19/2024 Anticipated Receipt of money: 5/6/2024 Departments Involved: Leisure Services, Planning Services A specialized team has been assembled that is uniquely qualified to complete the HSR as the Eagle Point Park structures are one of a kind. A proposal by Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc. is enclosed. The Planning Department reviewed this proposal and supports it based upon the specific expertise in Alfred Caldwell buildings, Historic Structure Reports, and designs that Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc. bring to completing this project. It is the intent after the HSR to work with Heritage Works on the bricks and mortar grant application through Jeffris and fundraising. The City would need a partner in this matching fundraising effort as City staff do not act as private fundraisers. In the past decade, Heritage Works has researched Eagle Point Park and has hosted community tours and educational sessions. They have relationships nationwide with experts, 2 historians, and architects familiar with the park, its Midwest aesthetic landscape style, and Caldwell. Duane Hagerty has cultivated a relationship with Tom Jeffris and the two other Jeffris trustees over the years. Heritage Works has previous experience with Jeffris at Steeple Square and the Mathias Ham House. The Jeffris-funded Steeple Square project was completed in 2021. The Jeffris-funded Ham House project is in the fundraising stage for the bricks and mortar portion, scheduled for completion by June 2026. Heritage Works had leadership roles in both projects. An agreement would be developed later and brought forward for approval for the capital project campaign phase. Preliminarily Heritage Works has agreed to be the fundraising agent should a capital project for Eagle Point Park historic structures be approved by Jeffris after application. The general structure discussed with Heritage Works for the contracted work of fundraising would be 5% of matching funds raised. For those funds the City seeks that do not require the fundraising services such as other grants applied for, the City would not pay Heritage Works. This fundraising payment structure is related to industry standard for fundraisers and an appropriate percentage. Due to the complexity and specific knowledge needed to complete the project, this memo outlines each step that is recommended to be taken to create transparency for this project from start to contemplated steps for the future. Each of the steps outlined above were reviewed by a team of Senior Counsel Barry Lindahl, Purchasing and Risk Manager Tony Breitbach, Park Division Manager Steve Fehsal, Assistant Planner Chris Happ Olson, and both of us. It was found to be in compliance with city policy and processes. GRANT OBJECTIVE The Jeffris Family Foundation invites applications for grants from the Jeffris Heartland Fund, to support the development of important historic preservation projects in the states of lowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The decision to pursue a grant from the Jeffris Heartland Fund must be made in consultation with a Director of the Foundation to discuss your project and request a Jeffris Heartland Fund application form. Applications, once invited, are accepted at any time. Award notices are issued within approximately 30 days of receipt of the application. Grants are made in the range of$5,000 to $50,000 to cover up to 50% the cost of an HSR and must be matched dollar-for-dollar with cash from sources unrelated to the Jeffris Family Foundation. Projects and their sponsors receiving grants from the Jeffris Heartland Fund, and completing a quality study in a timely manner— usually within one year— may be invited to submit a proposal to the Jeffris Family Foundation for a Capital Campaign Challenqe Grant. The Jeffris Family Foundation will invite such proposals on a funds-available, competitive basis. 3 GOAL(S) ADDRESSED Council Goal: Diverse Arts, Culture, Parks, and Recreation: Experiences and Activities Outcome Have well-built, well-maintained and upgraded parks, parks amenities and recreational/park facilities Values s Choice for residents' leisure time Family-oriented activities for all generations Accessible, equitable & diverse recreational and enrichment programs, facilities & activities Enriches quality of life Access to quality parks, facilities, and park amenities for all BUDGET IMPACT The Leisure Services Department has Project 5543000002-100-64900, Account 100- 55-0000-76-750-5570-00-02-64900 in FY24 for an Eagle Point Park historic structure report funded at $75,000.

Marie Ware The City of Dubuque April 8,2024 Page 3 SCOPE OF SERVICES Based on discussion with our understanding of your project requirements and our past experience with similar projects, we anticipate providing the following scope of services. The project team will develop a Historic Structures Report following the guidance afforded in Nationa( Park Service Preservation Brief 43: The Preparation and Use of Historic Structure Reports.A single historic structure report will be prepared for the three subject structures. The study area will include the three historic structures and their immediate environs. Tasks to be undertaken as part of this work effort will include the following: 1. Research and Archival Documentation. The project team will review documentation and relevant research materials provided to us by your office as well as research by the project team in local archives and in other sources accessed online.The research will be used in developing a historical context narrative for the report and will likely include an overview of the history of the Dubuque park system, Eagle Point Park, and Alfred Caldwell, as well as information specific to the subject structures, and changes and alterations made to them over the years. The research will be important in analyzing the significance and integrity of the structures and will also assist in developing a chronology of construction for the structures that will describe the buildings as originally constructed and will note any documented modifications. 2. Site Visit. Following notice to proceed, the project team will coordinate with the City of Dubuque to schedule an initial site visit to review existing conditions and conduct documentation. In conjunction with this site visit, representatives of the WJE project team will meet with available representatives of the City of Dubuque and Heritage Works Dubuque for orientation and to discuss the project. The multi-day site visit will include a visual assessment of the buildings conducted from grade, ladders, and safely accessible locations on the buildings (e.g., roofs, etc.) and include an evaluation of the existing architectural features and materials. Exterior features, including walls, roofs, windows and doors, and interior features such as floors, walls, trim, murals, and any built-in features (if present) will be reviewed and evaluated during the site visit. Adjacent site features such as exterior stairs, terraces, and railings that are integral to access and design of the structures will be evaluated as part of the study.Any visible components of the structural system will also be surveyed. Depending upon conditions observed, detailed structural analysis may be recommended for future consideration. The condition of exterior features and interior spaces, materials, and finishes will be reviewed and described, with particular attention to character-defining historic features. Information gathered during field work will be recorded with digital photographs, sketches, and written notes. 3. Report Preparation. WJE will prepare the HSR following guidance afforded by National Park Service Preservation Brief 43— The Preparation and Use of Historic Structure Reports.We will provide a draft report for review by the City of Dubuque and relevant and invited entities (e.g., Heritage Works Dubuque) identified by your office. Comments provided by the City of Dubuque following review of the draft report will be addressed in the final report submittal as appropriate.The final report is expected to generally follow the report outline provided below: ■ Executive Summary Marie Ware The City of Dubuque April 8,2024 Page 4 ■ Management Summary ■ Developmental History ■ Historical context ■ Chronology of development and use ■ Physical Description ■ Exterior and interior description of three buildings ■ Condition assessment (organized by material and system) ■ Material studies (if performed) ■ Evaluation of Significance and Integrity ■ Treatment Recommendations ■ Preservation objectives ■ Recommendations (organized by material and system) ■ Prioritization of repairs based on preservation objectives ■ Order of Magnitude Costs ■ Appendices (laboratory reports, paint analysis reports, measured drawings) The report will be illustrated with photographs and annotated floor plans to supplement the description of the buildings and their features, as well as to highlight any notable features and conditions observed as part of this study and changes over time. A cultural landscape assessment is not part of this study but may be recommended in the HSR. Archaeological assessment is also not a part of this scope of services. If archaeological studies have previously been performed at the site, we will review and briefly summarize the findings of these studies in the HSR. 4. Order of Magnitude Costs. Order magnitude of costs for the recommended work will be developed for the final report. Using the treatment recommendations provided in the report, cost information will be based on an itemized list of repairs.Working with a local contractor,the project team will develop order of magnitude costs to perform a scope of work recommended in the HSR and include the cost estimate as an appendix to the report. 5. Meetings and Presentations. In addition to the project kickoff ineeting, to be held on site during the site visit, the project team anticipates one meeting via videoconference following comments from the draft HSR report. The intent of the meeting will be to discuss and clarify comments in preparation for finalizing the report. After the final report has been submitted, members of the project team will attend (either in person or videoconference) a public meeting in which the findings of the HSR will be presented by the City of Dubuque.The project team will be available to answer any questions following the presentation. 6. Measured Drawings. Measured drawings will be prepared to depict the existing conditions of the three buildings and adjacent site features within the study area. Development of the drawings will include several site visits to document the existing construction for drawing purposes. The drawings will include a site plan, floor plan(s), and four elevations for each structure and will be prepared using AutoCAD.The final drawings will be presented on a title block in the appendix to the report. The drawings may also be annotated and used as illustrations in the report. Marie Ware The City of Dubuque April 8,2024 Page 5 Additional Services The above scope of work does not include further investigation to observed concealed conditions (e.g., inspection openings, nondestructive testing), structural analysis, or identification and testing of potentially hazardous materials (such as for lead, asbestos, or other materials that may be present.). If indicated by conditions observed, WJE will recommend further studies or analysis as part of the HSR and will be available to provide a proposal for Additional Services upon request. We understand that the City of Dubuque is also interested in including additional services which may include the following as part of this HSR: ■ Laboratory Studies of Materials. Laboratory studies may include the evaluation of materials and finishes. Specific services may include evaluation of mortar, stone, and interior wall finishes, which would be performed by WJE petrographers, chemists, conservators, and engineers. As part of this task, WJE will remove mortar and interior paint samples to be used in the evaluation during the site visit; sample locations will be coordinated with City of Dubuque representatives while on site. A laboratory petrographic examination will be performed to characterize the mortar material and provide information for an appropriate mortar for future repair and repointing efforts. (A more extensive chemical evaluation and analysis of the mortar is not included in this scope of services.) Finishes analysis will include evaluation of selected samples of interior wall finishes from the three buildings to determine the earliest extant finish. Our findings from these studies will be summarized in the HSR, with the laboratory analysis report and finishes analysis report included as an appendix to the HSR. A conservation plan and paint analysis of the murals and other artwork on site is not included in this evaluation but may be recommended in the HSR. The exact scope and extent of sampling and analysis is unknown at this time and would likely be discussed on site as conditions at the three buildings are observed up close and under field microscope.Therefore, an allowance has been established based on our assumptions for the extent of services and will be refined during the site visit. Material sampling for the analysis would be performed during the site visit. Budget and Schedule WJE proposes to complete the scope of services outlined in Tasks 1 through 6 above for a fixed fee of $115,000.This fee includes the Historic Structures Report.Additional budget will be required to complete related studies as noted below.
