INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
All -America Cily
2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Mayor and City Council concurrence
and approval of the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Bolton & Menk,
Inc. of Des Moines, Iowa, to complete the Phase 1 - Parking Mitigation Strategy for the
Central Avenue and White Street corridor.
BACKGROUND
In January 2021, the City of Dubuque obtained jurisdiction of Central Avenue and White
Street, creating the opportunity to evaluate a two-way conversion and implement
complete street and urban design elements consistent with the Central Avenue Corridor
Streetscape Master Plan.
A 2024 corridor study and community engagement process identified Central Avenue
and White Street as critical components of the downtown transportation network,
carrying approximately 8,000 and 5,000 vehicles per day, respectively. The study
emphasized the importance of addressing corridor conditions in a manner that responds
to surrounding land use, freight needs, and downtown access.
Through this completed corridor study, the City Council identified the Multi -Modal
Focused Alternative as a preferred long-term approach, maintaining one-way operations
while reallocating space to improve safety, accessibility, and downtown vitality.
DISCUSSION
Through evaluation of the Multi -Modal Focused Alternative, parking availability and
management emerged as a primary concern associated with any potential corridor
modifications. City Council feedback, and stakeholder input consistently identified
parking impacts as a key issue to resolve before considering changes to traffic
operations, streetscape elements, or multimodal facilities.
To advance the Central Avenue and White Street Corridor improvements, staff is
proposing a multi -phased scope of work approach to allow flexibility in consultant
services and project sequencing. As part of the corridor study and planning phase, the
corridor segment from 14th Street to 22nd Street was identified as a logical focus area
Page 1058 of 1214
based on alignment with planned infrastructure projects, the presence of adjacent
residential and business activity, and the continued need to support freight movement.
Within this segment, parking availability and access were consistently identified as
issues requiring further evaluation prior to advancing any design concepts.
The prepared Professional Consultant Services Agreement includes the scope of work
to complete the Phase 1 — Parking Mitigation Strategy.
❖ Phase 1 — Parking Mitigation Strategy
Identify and implement parking solutions to offset removal of on -street parking
associated with corridor modifications. This includes evaluating property acquisition
options and optimizing nearby side streets for replacement parking. Addressing
parking impacts is a priority for the City Council and the community.
The Phase 1 consultant services will focus on identifying and evaluating strategies to
address potential parking impacts within the Central Avenue and White Street corridors,
particularly within the 14th Street to 22nd Street segment. Tasks include:
• Inventory and analysis of existing parking supply and utilization
• Evaluation of opportunities to replace or offset on -street parking through nearby
facilities or side streets
• Stakeholder engagement with residents, property owners, and businesses within
the project area to understand parking needs, usage patterns and operational
concerns
• Development of parking scenarios and identification management or mitigation
strategies to address potential parking impacts.
The Phase 1 - Parking Mitigation Strategy is intended to provide City Council with clear,
data -driven options related to parking prior to consideration of any further design or
corridor modifications. Findings from Phase 1 work will be used to inform future
decision -making.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PHASES
Upon completion of the Phase 1 - Parking Mitigation Strategy work, and subject to the
findings and recommendation, and City Council directive, the City could elect to prepare
a future Supplemental Agreement, a scope of services and fee amount with Bolton &
Menk for specific selected future phases are described below.
❖ Phase 2 — Corridor Restriping (4th to 22nd Streets)
Prepare the corridor for future conversion by restriping Central Avenue and White
Street. Alternatives will be evaluated to determine the feasibility of including an on -
street cycle track.

Page 1059 of 1214
❖ Phase 3 — Detailed Corridor Design (13th/14th to 22nd Streets)
Develop detailed design plans in the following sub -sections, including side street
connections between Central Avenue and White Street:
• Section 1 (14th-17th): Prepare for the 14th Street Overpass connection. Focus
on the east side of White Street and the full corridor of Central Avenue.
• Section 2 (17th-20th): Continue full corridor improvements on Central Avenue
and the east side of White Street, with cycle track completion following.
• Section 3 (20th-22nd): Complete full corridor improvements on both streets,
including side streets.
• Section 4 (13th-14th): Coordinate with the 14th Street Overpass and Prescott
School to complete this small connection segment.
• Section 5 - 18th Street Plaza: Create a pedestrian plaza by closing 18th Street
and integrating it into the corridor design.
❖ Phase 4 - Cycle Track (5th to 19th Streets)
Develop a raised, sidewalk -grade cycle track along the west side of White Street,
enhancing multimodal safety and connectivity between Downtown and northern
neighborhoods.

be responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor. Client acknowledges that on -
site contractor(s) are solely responsible for construction site safety programs and their
enforcement.

A. Because of the potential instability of electronic/digital data and
susceptibility to unauthorized changes, copies of documents that may be relied
upon by Client are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard copies) that
are signed or sealed by Consultant. Except for electronic/digital data which is
specifically identified as a project deliverable for this Agreement or except as
otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, all electronic/digital data developed
by Consultant as part of the Project is acknowledged to be an internal working
document for Consultant's purposes solely and any such information provided to
Client shall be on an "as is" basis strictly for the convenience of Client without any
warranties of any kind. As such, Client is advised and acknowledges that use of
such information may require substantial modification and independent verification
by Client (or its designees).
B. Provision of electronic/digital data, whether required by this Agreement or
provided as a convenience to the Client, does not include any license of software
or other systems necessary to read, use or reproduce the information. It is the
responsibility of Client to verify compatibility with its system and long- term stability
of media. Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and its
Subconsultants from all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including

Agreement.

Consultant shall retain an ownership interest therein. Upon payment of all fees
owed to Consultant, Client shall acquire a limited license in all identified
deliverables (including Reports, Plans and Specifications) for any reasonable use
relative to the Project and the general operations of Client. Such limited license to
Client shall not create any rights in third parties.
B. Client may make and disseminate copies for information and reference in
connection with the use and maintenance of the Project by Client. However, such
documents are not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by Client or
others on extensions of the Project or on any other project. Any reuse by Client or,
any other entity acting under the request or direction of Client, without written
verification or adaptation by Consultant for such reuse will be at Client's sole risk
and without liability or legal exposure to Consultant and Client shall indemnify and
hold harmless Consultant from all claims, damages, losses and expenses
including attorney's fees arising out of or resulting from such reuse.
4.9 Confidentiality. Consultant agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any
person or entity, other than Consultant's employees and subconsultants any information
obtained from Client not previously in the public domain or not otherwise previously
known to or generated by Consultant. These provisions shall not apply to information in
whatever form that comes into the public domain through no fault of Consultant; or is
furnished to Consultant by a third party who is under no obligation to keep such
information confidential; or is information for which the Consultant is required to provide
by law or authority with proper jurisdiction; or is information upon which the Consultant
must rely for defense of any claim or legal act.
4.10 Period of Agreement. This Agreement will remain in effect for the later of two (2)
years from February 16t", 2026 or until such other expressly identified completion date,
after which time the Agreement may be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties.

A. Except as expressly stated in Attachment 1, the parties acknowledge that
Consultant's Services do not include any services related to Constituents of
Concern. If Consultant or any other party encounters, uncovers, or reveals a
Constituent of Concern at the Project site or should it become known in any way
that such materials may be present at the site or any adjacent areas that may affect
the performance of the Consultant's Services, then Consultant may, at its option
and without liability for consequential or any other damages: 1) suspend
performance of Services on the portion of the Project affected thereby until Client
retains appropriate specialist consultant(s) or contractor(s) to identify, abate and/or
remove such materials, and warrant that the site is in full compliance with

B. PARKING ANALYSIS
1. Project Management and Coordination
Our team will conduct project management and coordination through all
phases of the project life cycle. This includes holding a bi-weekly standing
call with core CITY and project personnel to maintain close communication
on project progress and outcomes.
2. Kick -Off Meeting
We will facilitate a virtual kick-off meeting with the appropriate Client and
project personnel to confirm project objectives, study area, facilities,
schedule, milestones, roles and responsibilities, and the project
communications and management plan. The project kick-off meeting will
include a facilitated assessment and brainstorming discussion of project
topics.
3. In -Person Walking Tour
An in -person walking tour of the study area with CITY personnel will be
conducted to observe operations during typical conditions. This is essential
for understanding the issues and opportunities in the study area from those
with the most firsthand knowledge.
4. Request for Information
We will collect (via request for information) from city representatives and
related project personnel) and review/analyze/summarize data and
information. Data may include, but is not limited to:
• Available transportation and mobility data;
Page 13 of 18
Page 1075 of 1214
• GIS base data of the study area (this work was started as part of the
Smart Parking and Mobility Management Plan process);
• Pedestrian and traffic counts;
• Video data from stationary camera feeds along the corridors;
• On -street and off-street parking payment data;
• Available parking inventory and occupancy data;
• Relevant past plans and studies (e.g., Comprehensive Plan, past
parking studies, etc.);
• List of relevant stakeholders;
• Ordinance and policy information (i.e., city code) related to parking
requirements and parking and loading use and procedures; and
• Data and information on current and forthcoming development projects
and proposals.
We will leverage all collected and available data from the past Bolton and
Menk Central/White Study and the Walker Consultants —Bolton & Menk-led
Smart Parking and Mobility Management Plan project. In addition, we
propose using available movement and count data from the city's network
of stationary cameras.
5. Field Data Collection
The team will conduct field data collection, including verifying on -street
parking and curb inventory along Central Avenue and White Street within
the project areas, as well as parking and curbside occupancy data at up to
three count times, identified in collaboration with client project personnel.
The purpose of the occupancy data collection is to update the parking
occupancy counts collected during the previous Smart Parking and Mobility
Management Plan project, in order to understand current parking behaviors
and needs.
In addition to parking occupancy data, we will also record parking turnover
(duration) data over the course of a single day on up to four (4) block faces,
identified in collaboration with project personnel.
6. Stakeholder Engagement
Walker and Bolton and Menk will work with CITY project personnel to
facilitate necessary stakeholder meetings, beginning during the initial site
visit, and continuing virtual, if necessary. These will include:
• City Staff Meeting: Up to four meetings with city and project personnel,
to review project process and discuss data collection, engagement,
project objectives, and project plan. This includes meeting with the City
Manager.
• Stakeholder Group/Committee Meetings: Up to six meetings with
stakeholder groups or committees, identified in collaboration with the
Page 14 of 18
Page 1076 of 1214
client project personnel. These include focus groups with business
owners and freight users, and/or meetings with parking stakeholder
group(s).
• Business Owner Meetings: Meetings with individual business owners
along the Central Avenue and White Street corridors. These meetings
involve project team staff walking the corridors and speaking with
business owners across two separate days.
• City Council Sessions: Up to two sessions with the City Council to
discuss project objectives, outcomes, and progress.
7. Parking Adequacy Evaluation
Our team will review and summarize the collected parking and curb supply
and demand data from the study area. Additionally, we will conduct a
desktop review of all private parking assets within the study area. The
inventories will be summarized in tabular, graphical, and geographic
information systems (GIS). They will include space counts and types, rates
(if applicable), parking ownership/management, and restrictions.
Working in collaboration with CITY and project personnel, we will develop a
parking scenario projection model for the study area to make future parking
needs projections based on scenarios and conditions determined in
collaboration with the client. This model will incorporate future development
plans and any known changes to existing land use and parking supply in
the study area.
Using the baseline parking needs projection models developed for the study
area, we will estimate future parking requirements for different user groups
and demand profiles over the next five years. We will then assess the future
parking adequacy —whether there is a surplus or shortfall —based on
anticipated market conditions within the study area. This analysis will be
conducted for up to two (2) different development scenarios, identified
collaboratively with CITY project personnel. We will generate both tabular
and graphical summaries to illustrate the adequacy of the parking system.
Additional analysis will be included to determine the projected financial gain
or loss of any parking spaces that are removed or added.
8. Parking Management Strategies
Based on the parking scenario modeling results, our team will assess
potential options for additional parking supply, including side streets and off-
street parking options if needed. We will also evaluate the application of
operational and technological strategies to enhance the efficiency,
accessibility, and utilization of the current parking supply. We will review the
Page 15 of 18
Page 1077 of 1214
implementation of recommendations, including those from the Smart
Parking and Mobility Management Plan, to enhance the overall parking
experience for customers, residents, and business owners.
9. Report -Out and Deliverable
We will take feedback and develop a draft deliverable for review by project
personnel. After incorporating edits, we will develop a final deliverable for
inclusion into the broader project deliverable subject to City Council
adoption and implementation.
C. EXTRA/OPTIONAL TASKS (NOT INCLUDED IN SCOPE AND FEE) — PARKING
LOT RECONFIGURATION
CONSULTANT to conduct an evaluation of up to three (3) surface parking facilities along
the corridors, identified in collaboration with project personnel, to determine parking Level
of Service. This will include review of the existing functional design and operation of
parking on -site, including a review of general parking facility layouts, user parking
assignments and access locations, and general circulation routes. This review will
include:
a. Review of parking area geometry and vehicular circulation design.
b. Internal traffic flow.
c. Parking stall layout, including accessible parking.
d. Bay size and parking stall size.
e. Pavement marking locations.
f. Vehicle turning movements.
g. Review of entry/exit area geometric design.
h. Location, number, and layout of entrance and exit lanes.
Identify observed appropriateness or deficiency, as the case may be. If necessary,
determine if the number of spaces could be increased through restriping and/or efficiency
improvements in existing facilities. Determine whether identified facilities can be
expanded or reconfigured to meet projected parking needs. If necessary, identify
alternatives for potential new parking facilities (surface and/or structured). Provide
conceptual suggestions for improvements of observed deficiencies. Participate in a work
session with the project team to review findings, provide recommendations on
improvements, and receive feedback. Based on collaboration with the CITY, develop
recommendations for functional design parking improvements, to be included in final
project deliverables.
