Water Department Director Christopher Lester is recommending City Council award of
the Private Lead Service Line Replacement Pilot Program - Phase 1 Construction to JQ
Construction, LLC of Waterloo, IA in the amount of $1,973,660.00 which is 13.91 %
higher than the engineer's estimate of $1,732,600.00.
The scope of work in the first phase includes the replacement of 196 lead service lines
identified throughout the City's water distribution service area. The nature of the
replacements will vary by site, ranging from full replacements (public water main to
interior plumbing) to partial replacements (a portion of the service line between the
public water main and the interior plumbing). Work will be conducted within the City's
right-of-way and on private properties with authorization from property owners.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
All -America City
2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
The purpose of this memorandum is to request award of the Private Lead Service Line
Replacement Pilot Program - Phase 1 Construction to JQ Construction, LLC of Waterloo, IA in
the amount of $1,973,660.00.
BACKGROUND
On November 15, 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) was signed by President Biden,
which includes $50 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen the
nation's drinking water and wastewater systems —the single largest investment in clean water
that the federal government has ever made.
The City of Dubuque is taking part in a unique opportunity to assist approximately 585
homes in three phases (owner occupied or rented) within the city with the functional
replacement of private lead water service lines by trenching or pull -through methods to
prevent the potential for drinking water contamination at a house -by -house level. This phase
of the pilot program is 100% voluntary and is open to those residents with a verified drinking
water lead service line meeting the socioeconomic guidelines established by the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law.
The city is moving forward with this unique opportunity and has secured a level of BIL funding to
conduct the first of its kind in the community, Lead Service Line Replacement Pilot Program.
The BIL funds are being administered locally through the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources' State Revolving Fund (Iowa SRF) program, with 49% of construction costs being
forgivable.
DISCUSSION
The scope of work in the first phase includes the replacement of 196 lead service lines identified
throughout the City's water distribution service area. The nature of the replacements will vary by
site, ranging from full replacements (public water main to interior plumbing) to partial
replacements (a portion of the service line between the public water main and the interior
plumbing). Work will be conducted within the City's right-of-way and on private properties with
authorization from property owners.
Water Department staff visited property owners and verified the service line material was lead
Page 305 of 326
piping, and to reduce lead exposure to both the home owner/tenant and the contractors during
construction, the preferred methods of replacement by the Iowa DNR are the "pull -through" and
directional -drill techniques for service line replacements. These methods also minimize property
and soil disturbance beyond the original service trench.
As the project is being funded using BIL funds, there are specific requirements that must be
adhered to in determining project costs that are eligible for loan forgiveness and overall SRF
Funding. Due to the nature of the project, such that the project extends to the interior of a private
home, premise plumbing is considered not an eligible expense for either traditional SRF or BIL
SRF funds. Some interior or premise plumbing will be required as part of the service line
replacement, therefore the cost estimate provided below contains funding from local funds to
cover premise plumbing. Local funds will be requested for reallocation from Project 4281000044
WTP Roof Repair during the Budget Amendment. No.2; the reallocated WTP Roof Repair funds
will be requested in FY2026.
Sealed bids for the Private Lead Service Line Replacement Pilot Program - Phase 1 were
received and publicly opened on April 23, 2025. JQ Construction, LLC of Waterloo, Iowa
submitted the apparent low bid in the amount of $1,973,660.00.
A summary of the bid proposals received is as follows:
