City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends City Council approval for the Mayor to
execute an intergovernmental 28E Funding Agreement with Dubuque County for the
North Cascade Road Bridge Replacement Project in Dubuque County.
On July 27 -28, 2011, Dubuque County received extremely heavy rainfall with amounts
reported to be up to 15 inches in 12 hours. Rushing flood waters on the South Fork of
Catfish Creek overtopped the North Cascade Road and bridge causing the bridge to
collapse.
On August 30, 2011, the City of Dubuque and Dubuque County received a Presidential
Declaration for public assistance. Since North Cascade Road is on the Federal Aid
Classification Route, it is not eligible for FEMA public assistance. Since the North
Cascade Road Bridge is under the jurisdiction of County, the County applied for and
received approval for Federal Emergency Repair Program funding for its replacement.
Jim Schroeder Construction, Inc. was awarded the construction contract in the amount
of $1,046,874 and began work on the North Cascade Road Bridge replacement in early
March with an anticipated completion by late summer.
Although the North Cascade Road Bridge is currently under the jurisdiction of Dubuque
County, due to the bridge location and close proximity to the City's corporate limits, it is
anticipated that this southwest corridor will be annexed and become part of the City at
some point in the near future. Additionally, with the recent development of the Timber -
Hyrst Estates residential subdivision in the City and the development agreement
between the City and North Cascade Road Developers, LLC, the City has previously
agreed to construct safety improvements to North Cascade Road, west of the bridge to
approximately Edval Lane. The existing sight distance along this stretch of North
Cascade Road is less than desirable and the proposed geometric realignment of the
existing curves will improve safety for the motorist. The development agreement initially
stipulated that said improvements will be completed by the end of the 2012 construction
season. However, due to budgetary funding restraints and recent housing market
conditions, the developer has agreed to allow the project to be delayed until 2013.
Based on the City's proposed plans to make safety improvements to North Cascade
Road (immediately adjacent and west of the bridge) and in consideration for planning
for the future expansion of the City, staff met with representatives from the County, the
Iowa DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to discuss and request that
the bridge and roadway be designed to urban design standards rather than typical rural
standards.
The FHWA has reviewed the City's request and issued a determination that
reconstructing the bridge and roadway to urban (city) design standards would be
considered betterment (design upgrade) and would not be eligible for Federal
Emergency Repair program funding. Based on federal regulations, the principal intent of
the Federal Emergency Repair program to restore facilities to "pre- flood" condition with
consideration given to current design standards, such as Corps of Engineers or DNR
flood plain requirements.
Since the City already has $924,000 budgeted for improvements to North Cascade
Road, with funding programmed using both $690,800 of DMATS STP funds and
$233,200 of local funds, the City and County requested and received approval to shift a
portion of the programmed funds to assist in funding the North Cascade Road Bridge
and the associated road pavement repairs.
It is proposed that the City's DMATS STP funds and local matching funds (Sales Tax —
30%), will be used to fund project costs that are considered non - eligible for Federal
Emergency Repair program funding. The City would be responsible for all design
upgrade costs to urban design standards, such as; an additional 2 feet bridge deck
width, a separated pedestrian sidewalk added to the south side of the bridge, increasing
the roadway pavement width from 26 feet to 35 feet and adding curb and gutter along
with storm sewer.
With the shifting of funds to the North Cascade Road Bridge Replacement Project, City
staff will continue to work with North Cascade Road Developers to revise the scope of
work for the original North Cascade Road Reconstruction Project to reflect the
anticipated remaining funding level. This will require the City to amend the existing
development agreement with North Cascade Road Developers to either shorten the
westerly project limits for the proposed improvements to North Cascade Road or delay
the project until additional funding can be re- programmed to complete the project
westerly of the bridge to approximately Edval Lane.
Based on the allocation of City DMATS STP funds and local matching funds to fund the
non - eligible Federal Emergency Repair costs associated with the North Cascade Road
2
Bridge Replacement Project, there will be approximately $660,000 remaining to
construct safety improvements to North Cascade Road, west of the bridge project.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION

The enclosed resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute an intergovernmental 28E
Funding Agreement with Dubuque County for the North Cascade Road Bridge
Replacement Project in Dubuque County.
BACKGROUND
On July 27 -28, 2011, Dubuque County (County) received extremely heavy rainfall with
amounts reported to be up to 15 inches in 12 hours. Rushing flood waters on the South
Fork of Catfish Creek overtopped the North Cascade Road and bridge, washing out
major portions of the west approach roadway to the bridge, including the west abutment
causing the bridge to collapse on the morning of July 28th at approximately 8:30 A.M.
On August 30, 2011, the City of Dubuque (City) and County received a Presidential
Declaration (DR- 4018 -IA) for public assistance. Since North Cascade Road is on the
City /County Federal Aid Classification Route, it is not eligible for FEMA public
assistance. Since the North Cascade Road Bridge is under the jurisdiction of County,
the County applied for and received approval for Federal Emergency Repair (ER)
Program funding for its replacement.
Based on the approved ER program funding, sealed competitive bid proposals were
received by the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) on January 18, 2012 in
Ames. Jim Schroeder Construction, Inc. of Bellevue, Iowa submitted the low bid in the
amount of $1,046,874. This amount is 12% under the estimate of probable cost.
Jim Schroeder Construction, Inc. was awarded the construction contract and began
work on the North Cascade Road Bridge replacement in early March with an anticipated
completion by late summer.
DISCUSSION
Although the North Cascade Road Bridge is currently under the jurisdiction of Dubuque
County, due to the bridge location and close proximity to the City's corporate limits, it is
anticipated that this southwest corridor will be annexed and become part of the City at
some point in the future. Additionally, with the recent development of the Timber -Hyrst
Estates residential subdivision and the development agreement between the City and
North Cascade Road Developers, LLC, the City has previously agreed to construct
safety improvements to North Cascade Road, west of the bridge to approximately Edval
Lane. The existing sight distance along this stretch of North Cascade Road is less than
desirable and the proposed geometric realignment of the existing curves will improve
safety for the motorist. The development agreement initially stipulated that said
improvements will be completed by the end of the 2012 construction season. However,
due to budgetary funding restraints and recent housing market conditions, the developer
has agreed to allow the project to be delayed until 2013.
Based on the City's proposed plans to make safety improvements to North Cascade
Road (immediately adjacent and west of the bridge) and in consideration for planning
for the future expansion of the City, staff met with representatives from the County, the
Iowa DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to discuss and request that
the bridge and roadway be designed to urban (city) design standards rather than typical
rural standards.
The FHWA has reviewed the City's request and issued a determination that
reconstructing the bridge and roadway to urban (city) design standards would be
considered betterment (design upgrade) and would not be eligible for ER program
funding. Based on federal regulations, the principal intent of the ER program to restore
facilities to "pre- flood" condition with consideration given to current design standards,
such as Corps of Engineers or DNR flood plain requirements.
Since the City already has funding budgeted ($924,000) for improvements to North
Cascade Road, City CIP No. 3002021, with funding programmed using both DMATS
STP funds ($690,800) and local funds ($233,200), the City and County requested and
received approval from both the Iowa DOT and the Dubuque Metropolitan Area
Transportation Study (DMATS) to shift a portion of the City's DMATS STP programmed
funds to assist in funding the North Cascade Road Bridge and the associated road
pavement repairs.
It is proposed that the City's DMATS STP funds and local matching funds (Sales Tax —
30%), will be used to fund project costs that are considered non - eligible for Federal ER
program funding. The City would be responsible for all betterment (design upgrade)
costs to urban (city) design standards, such as; an additional 2 feet bridge deck width, a
separated pedestrian sidewalk added to the south side of the bridge, increasing the
roadway pavement width from 26 feet to 35 feet and adding curb and gutter along with
storm sewer.
With the shifting of funds to the North Cascade Road Bridge Replacement Project, City
staff will continue to work with North Cascade Road Developers, LLC. to revise the
scope of work for the original North Cascade Road Reconstruction Project, City CIP No.
3002021, to reflect the anticipated remaining funding level. This will require the City to
amend the existing development agreement with North Cascade Road Developers,
LLC. to either shorten the westerly project limits for the proposed improvements to
North Cascade Road or delay the project until additional funding can be re- programmed
to complete the project westerly of the bridge to approximately Edval Lane.
FUNDING AGREEMENT
On February 6, 2012, the City Council approved an Iowa DOT Federal -Aid Agreement
which allows the City to use DMATS Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds for
those bridge and roadway improvements not eligible for the Federal Emergency Repair
(ER) funding. The STP funds can be used for such project activities as construction,
engineering, inspection, right -of -way property acquisition.
With the Iowa DOT funding approval in- place, the City and County are now in a position
to finalize an intergovernmental 28E Agreement to mutually provide funding to complete
the North Cascade Road Bridge Replacement Project in Dubuque County. The
Dubuque County Board of Supervisors have already approved and signed the 28E
Agreement.
