RISE Application for Chavenelle Road Extension West from Seippel Road
Introduction
This memorandum requests City Council approval of a Resolution endorsing a RISE grant
application for a new Chavenelle Road extension west from Seippel Road into the westerly 40
acres of the Dubuque Industrial Center West.
Background
The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) administers the Revitalize Iowa's Sound
Economy (RISE) program wlfich provides funding in support of local and/or regional economic
development efforts. RISE Competitive Rating Funding may be used to assist construction of
new roadways to support new economic development initiatives. Grants are awarded semi-
armually and are evaluated on a competitive basis.
The applications are due February 1 and September 1 of each year with announcement of funding
in April and November. A local match of not less than fifty percent is required. The City has
planned, as part of its budgeting process, to apply for RISE funding to support our new industrial
park developments.
Discussion
The attached Resolution authorizes an application for RISE funding for a new 1,039 foot urban
industrial cul-de-sac providing access into this 40 acre site. This road will provide direct access
to 5 newly subdivided lots. The plans provide for a similar boulevard entrance to match
Chavenelle Road to the east.
The Resolution contains provisions required by 1DOT, including an endorsement of the project, a
certification that the roadway is dedicated to public use and will remain so dedicated and the
assurance that the City assumes responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of the roadway
improvements.
The total estimated cost of the project is $541,538.00, which includes water, sanitary sewer,
storm sewer, design and engineering and construction services. However, only $359,350.00 are
RISE-eligible expenses. The application requests that the State fund 50% of the eligible costs
($179,675.00) with a RISE grant. The balance of project costs were included in the FY 2000
Capital Improvement Program budget and have been carried forward.
Recommendation
I recommend that the City Council endorse the submission of an application for a RISE grant for
the westerly extension of Chavenelle Road. This project will provide access into a 40 acre parcel
that has been subdivided into five lots to respond to market demand for smaller parcels.
If the City is successful with this application, we will return to the City Cotmcil for approval of
the grant agreement and finalization of local match funding.
Action Step
The action is to adopt the attached Resolution.
