INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides a status update on the Dubuque Brewing and Malting project
at 3000 Jackson Street.
BACKGROUND
The demolition of 3000 Jackson was required due to structural issues that posed a significant
risk to public safety. The City of Dubuque served the owner notice to remove the structure and
work commenced at the end of April.
Q [+'10i11111*4IQ Ll
At the end of May the City served the owner of 3000 Jackson Street a Stop Work Order for the
demolition activities. This stop work order was in effect until clearance of hazardous materials
was received by city staff. This clearance was provided on June 6t", and an order to resume
demolition activities was sent to the owner on June 7th which outlines the following:
"The following demolition activities, as identified in the WHKS memo, must be
completed by June 21, 2024:
1. Decoupling Structures: - Scope revised June 6, 2024
The bridge and structural elements connecting 3000 Jackson Street with 3040
Jackson Street have been decoupled and deconstructed to prevent potential
damage to the 3040 Jackson Street building. Per the May 20th email sent to
you and demolition contractor David Zinser, additional evaluation of the 3040
Jackson building where the bridge was connected must be done to determine
the extent of stabilization required. Provide a plan for stabilization of the
remaining floors, walls and displaced lintel.
2. Demolition of Southeast Wall Section;
The deteriorated portions of the southeast wall must be demolished to a level
that permits the safe reopening of E 30th Street. Demolition shall continue until
the remaining wall sections are stable, generally plumb, and securely
connected to the interior floor structures. The demolition limits shall be agreed
upon by the City, the contractor, and a structural engineer during the process.
3. Southwest Interior Wall Demolition:
The heavily deteriorated southwest interior wall of the east wing shall be
demolished as planned, with the stability of the adjacent floor structures
evaluated at each level.
Additionally, the city requires the following items that are not identified in the
WHKS memo:
• Removal and Relocation of Debris and Salvage Material: Revised June 6,
2024
By June 21, 2024, all debris and salvage material must be moved to a stable
interior portion of the site for processing. This includes any debris or material
currently located between the street and the exterior wall of the building. The
material can be stockpiled at the interior of the site for ongoing processing
provided that workers can safely access the material.
• Site Security:
Once debris and salvage material has been relocated, the site must be re -
secured with a chain link fence to prevent unauthorized public access to the
site.
• Stone Arches:
The stone arches along Jackson Street can remain in situ, provided they are
adequately supported. Once the debris around these walls has been removed,
the wall will be assessed for stability.
Once the immediate work outlined above has been completed, any remaining
debris and materials on site must be cleared by August 31, 2024."
No additional correspondence has been received from the owner since the delivery of this
demolition order as of June 10, 2024.

RE: Demolition Requirements for 3000 Jackson Street Property
Mr. Emerson,
On May 6t", a letter conveying a memo from WHKS was sent that outlined additional demolition
requirements. On May 21, 2024, a stop work order was issued awaiting final site clearance
documentation. Today, June 6t", we received the clearance letter from the abatement contractor
and have lifted the stop work order. Understanding that work could not continue with a stop work
order in place, the intent of this correspondence is to convey a revised deadline for completion of
the remaining work. Additionally, because of the work that had been completed prior to the stop
work order, the scope of the City's requirements for continued cleanup and demolition has been
adjusted as noted below. The intent is to safely reopen 30t" street and ensure a safe site for salvage
activities.
The following demolition activities, as identified in the WHKS memo, must be completed by June
21, 2024:
1. Decoupling Structures: -Scope revised June 6, 2024
The bridge and structural elements connecting 3000 Jackson Street with 3040 Jackson
Street have been decoupled and deconstructed to prevent potential damage to the 3040
Jackson Street building. Per the May 201h email sent to you and demolition contractor David
Zinser, additional evaluation of the 3040 Jackson building where the bridge was connected
must be done to determine the extent of stabilization required. Provide a plan for
stabilization of the remaining floors, walls and displaced lintel.
2. Demolition of Southeast Wall Section:
The deteriorated portions of the southeast wall must be demolished to a level that permits
the safe reopening of E 30th Street. Demolition shall continue until the remaining wall
sections are stable, generally plumb, and securely connected to the interior floor
structures. The demolition limits shall be agreed upon by the City, the contractor, and a
structural engineer during the process.
3. Southwest Interior Wall Demolition:
The heavily deteriorated southwest interior wall of the east wing shall be demolished as
planned, with the stability of the adjacent floor structures evaluated at each level.
