RE: FY 18 Public Works CIP on CNG/BioCNG Vehicles
First of all, the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation would like to express its strong support for the
thoughtful and comprehensive approach the City is taking toward renewable energy, and specifically toward its
support for utilization of locally produced renewable energy and fuel.
We would specifically support the continuation of the four-part strategy that is in place on Biogas:
• Phase 1: Discontinue environmental release of biogas.
• Phase 2: Off -set present on-site energy use with captured "brown gas".
• Phase 3: Develop excess brown gas into value added energy and environmental products.
• Phase 4: Increase utilization of value-added products here locally.

The City has made great strides on the first three phases, and the potential to increase local utilization through CNG/BioCNG
vehicles in the 2018 CIP is an important next step forward.
We understand that Council may be hearing from factions on both ends of the spectrum on renewable energy. On one end
some may feel that any movement toward renewable energy/fuels, however reasonable, is wrong in that it somehow supports
the notion of "climate change" to which they do not espouse. On the other end there will be a population that believes that
any movement that continues to use fossil fuels for transportation fuels, however reasonable, must be opposed due to its
connection to issues such as"fracking". While we understand both of those arguments we believe it is important for Dubuque
to continue the reasonable course it is on and move forward with the CIP as proposed.
Specifically, we believe that BioCNG created from our Water and Resource Recovery Center and DMASWA Landfill is the most
environmentally responsible long term approach to local fuel sources.
Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions lgCDZe/MI):
4.7 Diesel and Alternative Fuels
G8
Derived from CA Resources Board LCFS, 2009.
Additionally, we believe that the present course holds the greatest promise for economic return to the community. If we can
create a market for our biogas resources as a fuel it will create the equivalent of 4,000 gallons of fuel a day with an annual
value of $3,474,800, if used locally.
Also, while it is anyone's guess what is going to occur with the variability of fuel pricing in the future, it is clear from the
recently completed AFLEET study that the lowest cost, most stable, long-term fuel strategy for Dubuque City Fleet utilization
would be a transition to BioCNG. The two communities most similar to Dubuque's situation are Janesville and Madison, both
of whom have CIP's for additional CNG vehicle purchasing.
Lastly, we believe that this action is timely. In a perfect world it would be nice to be able to wait until there was a
robust BioCNG marketplace operating in Dubuque before the City needed to make any budget decision. However,
public and private efforts are needed to help build both the supply and the demand needed for such a robust market
The private sector is spending significant dollars to make a BioCNG economy possible here. It is important that they
see commitment from the City as well.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project would provide funds to replace traffic and street name signs, along with rusted and/or twisted street and traffic sign posts and poles, located along
street right-of-way throughout the city.
JUSTIFICATION
Many of the traffic and street name signs in Dubuque do not meet new federal requirements for size and reflectivity, as required by the Federal Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. Street name signs that are ground-mounted and not located along multilane streets are required to have letters at least 6"tall, where all
capital letters are used, or 6"tall upper-case letters and 4.5"tall lower-case letters. Also, regulatory, warning and ground-mounted guide signs must be more
reflective than most of the City's current signs are. Finally, Dubuque's street name and overhead guide signs must meet the new, higher, federal reflectivity
standards. While all compliance dates for replacing sub-standard signs have been removed from the Federal Register, the responsibility to upgrade replacement
signs to the new standard has not been diminished. Therefore, all new signs that are installed must meet the new standards. This project also would provide for
the replacement of older sign posts and poles with new powder-coat-painted channel posts or 2" poles. Powder-coated sign posts and poles are much more
resistant to corrosion and discoloration due to abrasion, winter weather, exposure to chlorides, and UV rays. Replacing Dubuque's substandard signs, and
concurrently replacing the old sign posts and poles, would significantly improve public right-of-way aesthetics.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for an annual program to replace approximately 800 lineal feet of curb and gutter and related pavement at various locations throughout the
city. Priority is given to streets scheduled for the Public Works Department's asphalt paving program, projects associated with improvements to sidewalks and
driveways by homeowners, and streets not included in the Public Works Department's regular maintenance program or the Engineering Department's street
reconstruction program. All work is done by private contractors.
JUSTIFICATION
This project supplements the Public Works Department's regular curb reconstruction program and the Engineering Department's street reconstruction program.
There are many streets in Dubuque that have good driving surfaces but have badly deteriorated limestone or concrete curbing. This program provides for hiring
private contractors to replace curbing in poor condition on streets that are not scheduled, or anticipated to be scheduled, for reconstruction or sidewalk inspection.
This program also funds curb replacement on streets that are scheduled for asphalt paving by the Public Works Department. Priority is given to replacing poor
curbing on good streets. On any given year, the Public Works Department receives curb replacement requests that usually total from 2,000 to 3,000 lineal feet.
Public Works crews average approximately 2,000 feet of curb reconstruction annually. This appropriation request is intended to prevent any further backlog of
workload. In turn, customer satisfaction should increase as the City's response time is reduced.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Transportation Goal One: To provide, maintain and improve safe and efficient movement on the City's street
system, objective 1.1) Support continuing the ongoing street construction program, providing for timely maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the City street
system, Transportation Goal Two:To plan long-range for both local and regional street and highway systems to ensure safe, efficient access into and through the
city and to support urban growth in an appropriate development pattern, objective 2.5) Plan for aesthetically appealing streets and highways, with particular focus
on gateway opportunities and street tree plantings, and, Infrastructure Goal Four: To provide, maintain, and improve a cost-effective, safe and functional surface
transportation system, objective 4.1) Support the ongoing street reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance overlay programs, ensuring the timely
maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the city's streets and bridges.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for an annual program to perform post-flood repairs and maintenance along the City's floodwall protection system.
JUSTIFICATION
This project supplements the Public Works Department's floodwall operations activity (10054340) budget by providing funding that would allow for post-flood
infrastructure repairs. As the floodwall's infrastructure ages and the frequency of flood events continues to increase, the almost-regular need for extraordinary
repairs also has increased. Extraordinary repairs to the floodwall were necessary after the 1993, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2008, 2011 and 2013 floods. This
appropriation request would provide adequate funds to perform timely repairs, which in turn assures the integrity of the flood control system. Repairs would
include rip-rap replacement, pump overhauls, gate repairs, dredging, debris removal, and associated storm sewer outlet remedial work.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Infrastructure Goal Seven: To provide, maintain and improve the floodwall, harbors, fishing piers, and boat
docks and ramps for industrial, commercial, and recreational use of the riverfront; objectives 7.3) Encourage the development and maintenance of riverfront
facilities, and 7.4) Support operating and maintaining the floodwall facility, and, Public Safety Goal Six: To prevent or minimize the impacts of natural or man-made
disasters, objective 6.2) Support a high level of disaster preparedness, to meet or exceed state and federal requirements.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for hiring private contractors to remove and replace, or assist the Public Works Department in removing and replacing, deteriorated concrete
panels in concrete streets. All work is closely coordinated with the Engineering Department and its street reconstruction program.
JUSTIFICATION
Many concrete streets in the city are in need of full depth concrete section replacement. Defects such as offset or spalling transverse joints create a poor riding
surface. Surface and joint defects usually lead to other pavement deformation, such as pavement blow ups, settlements, cracks, and/or potholes. Timely panel
replacements and section repairs extend the life of these concrete streets and usually preclude the need for asphalt overlays or total reconstruction projects.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Transportation Goal One: To provide, maintain and improve safe and efficient movement on the City's street
system; objective 1.1) Support continuing the ongoing street construction program, providing for timely maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the City street
system; and, Infrastructure Goal Four: To provide, maintain, and improve a cost-effective, safe and functional surface transportation system; objective 4.1) Support
the ongoing street reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance overlay programs, ensuring the timely maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the city's
streets and bridges.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for repairing, replacing, and/or installing hand railings, staircases, and wall-top fencing on City properties.
JUSTIFICATION
Due to its hilly terrain, Dubuque's infrastructure includes many large retaining walls and pedestrian staircases. While many of the walls are in good condition,
many staircases, and the accompanying metal hand railings are not. Also, citizens and staff have become aware and concerned regarding securing the tops of tall
City walls. The purpose of this program is to facilitate timely remedial action as staff is made aware of needs or deficiencies. If funded in FY 2018, the project
provides for the removal, sandblasting, and powder-coat painting of 150' of fencing and handrailing located along the Riverwalk in the Port of Dubuque. Private
contractors would perform the work under the direction of the Engineering Department or Public Works Department.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Infrastructure Goal Five: To provide for, maintain and improve safe, accessible public sidewalks and steps
throughout the community, where possible, objective 5.1) Support maintaining and improving the condition of public sidewalks, steps, walks, and handrails.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides funds for milling five (5) centerline miles of asphalt streets annually. The milled streets are then paved by City crews from the Public Works
Department each year. This project provides for hiring a private contractor to grind a full-street-width pass to remove up to 1-1/2 inches of old asphalt material
from the street. The millings are then loaded onto City trucks and hauled to a local asphalt plant to be recycled into new hot mix asphalt subsequently used on City
paving projects. All milling is done by a private contractor with cleanup and repaving of the streets completed by Public Works Department crews.
JUSTIFICATION
Over the last twenty years, the Public Works Department has made great progress in improving Dubuque's street system through its asphalt overlay program. In
the beginning, most of the streets that were paved were in very poor condition and needed immediate improvement. Now, the City's program is able to focus its
attention on streets in fair condition. It is the department's intent to ensure that new asphalt overlays on these more stable streets last longer. To that end, milling
and removal of old asphalt street surfaces before paving with new asphalt is required. However, on July 1st of 2013, the Iowa DOT received clarification from the
U.S. Department of Justice as to what it classifies as "street improvements"versus street maintenance. As a result, since January 1, 2014, the City has been
required to construct or reconstruct virtually all curb ramps at all street intersections and crosswalks included in its annual asphalt overlay program. This
clarification regarding yet another unfunded federal mandate has severe cost ramifications for the City's asphalt overlay program. Until additional funding for the
mandated curb ramps can be identified and budgeted, along with additional contractors identified for installation of curb ramps, the City had no choice other than to
reduce its asphalt overlay program by 50%for calendar year 2015 and future years-from its previous standard of ten (10) centerline miles per year. As a result,
street maintenance crews are instead cracksealing more streets, replacing more defective concrete street panels, and replacing more deteriorated curb and gutter.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Infrastructure Goal Four: To provide, maintain, and improve a cost-effective, safe and functional surface
transportation system, objectives 4.1) Support the ongoing street reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance overlay programs, ensuring the timely

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for an annual program to install curb ramps at various locations throughout the city. This program is managed by the Engineering
Department and coordinated with the Public Works Department's asphalt overlay program. The Public Works Department's asphalt overlay program had been
reduced in Fiscal Year 2015 from ten to five centerline miles annually. Due to the increase in the State of Iowa gas tax in March of 2015, the FY 2016 paving
project was increased from five miles to six centerline miles. In FY17 due to a light winter season, remaining funds from the FY16 snow and ice control activity
were redirected to the street paving program and the asphalt program was increased from 5 to 7 centerline paving miles. However, in FY18, the asphalt overlay
program will again have to be reduced to five miles. Five miles of streets contain, on average, 45 intersections and 180 corners. However, only a few of
Dubuque's streets and alleys have curb ramps that meet current ADA standards. This project ensures that each intersection would be retrofitted with ADA-
mandated curb ramps when a street receives a maintenance overlay.
JUSTIFICATION
A court decision in Pennsylvania bolstered Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements regarding curb ramps. Until the court case, most municipalities
assumed that curb ramps were required only if a street was being totally reconstructed. However, the court decision ruled that even if a street was only receiving a
new surface, curb ramps must be installed. On July 1, 2013, the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) received additional information from the federal
Department of Justice further clarifying what constitutes resurfacing. Based on these clarifications, as of January 1, 2014, any alterations to an existing street's
crosswalk, including asphalt resurfacing and "mill and fill" projects, will require that existing curb ramps adhere to the latest ADA standards. This clarification
regarding yet another unfunded federal mandate has proven to have severe financial ramifications for the City's annual asphalt overlay program. As a result, this
project request would provide funding for five centerline miles of asphalt paving by City crews in calendar 2016 and ensuing years. Street maintenance crews will
instead refocus their resources to expanding the department's street cracksealing program, replacing more defective concrete street panels, and replacing more
deteriorated curb and gutter

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the replacement of the irrigation system located in the street-right-of-ways, along Bell Street and E 5th Street, in the Port of Dubuque. The
project would include replacing all piping, valves and irrigation heads located in the street right-a-ways.
JUSTIFICATION
The current irrigation system was installed as part of the street reconstruction projects in the Port of Dubuque. The irrigation system waters the parkway grass and
the flower beds located along the street right-a-ways. In recent years the system's piping has started to fail, causing numerous leaks and dirt erosion in the
parkway areas. Pipe repairs to the existing pipeline are becoming hard to make due to the condition and age of the pipe. If funded, this project would replace all
existing piping, valves, and irrigation heads installed with the original project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the conversion of the JULE garage at 2401 Central Avenue into the City's next vehicle and seasonal equipment storage facility.
JUSTIFICATION
Current City plans and budget provide for the reconstruction of the former Public Works Garage at 925 Kerper Boulevard in FY18 into the new base of operations
for the JULE public transit division. At the present time, the former Public Works Garage is used as a vehicle and seasonal equipment storage facility by the Public
Works, Engineering, Police, Fire, and Leisure Services departments. Among the equipment and vehicles stored at the facility are the City's HESCO flood barriers,
mowing equipment, street paving machines, Downtown Plaza and Port of Dubuque cast iron benches, chairs and tables, a portable stage, festival litter and
recycling receptacles, street light poles, sanitary and storm sewer pipe and manhole sections, and, vehicles impounded by the Police Department. A study of the
current JULE facility was conducted by IIW Engineering in 2013 regarding the feasibility of converting it into the City's next unheated vehicle and equipment
storage facility upon vacation by JULE at the end of FY2018. IIW reported that most of the estimated cost for the project would be associated with conversion of
the building's current fire suppression system to one that would function within an unheated environment.

This project provides for the replacement of one base station and thirty-eight (38) vehicle-mounted, multi-band, two-way radios used by the Public Works
Department to communicate with its crews in the field and those of other departments, including the City's public safety departments. These radios are also used
to communicate with other public agencies during times of emergency and/or natural disaster. Due to FCC regulations, the current radios need to be upgraded or
replaced by July 1, 2018.
JUSTIFICATION
The noted radios are used daily by the Public Works Department for command-to-crew, inter-crew, and interdepartmental crew communications. They are
especially essential for communication with crews, other departments, and public safety departments/agencies during periods of severe weather and other
emergencies. Past experience has shown that cellular telephone communications are unreliable and often compromised by high usage during extraordinary

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project would provide funds for the construction of a fabric and steel truss-arch salt storage building, which would be located at the City's road deicer salt
storage facility at the east end of Purina Drive.
JUSTIFICATION
Currently, road deicer salt is purchased by the barge load and off-loaded at the City's Purina Drive barge dock. The salt is piled onto the City's asphalt pad as it is
unloaded, and once all barges have arrived and been emptied, a contractor is hired to cover the pile with a tarp. However, months elapse between the arrival and
unloading of the first and last barges. As a result, the ever-growing salt pile is continually exposed to rain and wind, resulting in material loss and degraded
ambient air quality. A building over the City's road deicer salt storage pad would prevent material loss and save the City a minimum of$22,500 each year (the
current cost of the tarp and its installation two times each fiscal year). The requested building would provide storage for 100% of an average winter's salt
requirement for the City and it's current purchase partners.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for an equipment upgrade to our current road deicer blending system located at the Municipal Services Center. The current system is used
to blend liquid deicing materials for use in snow and ice control applications. This equipment upgrade would include an all new electrical control and power panels,
new HMI/PLC components with new screen layout and functionality, new truck fill controller, and new conductivity/salinity- concentration controller and sensor.
JUSTIFICATION
The current salt brine and bending system was installed in 2010. The department currently has the option to blend an agricultural-based material, and/or calcium
chloride with the 23% salt brine solution that is produced by this system. The deicer blends and type of chemicals will vary, base on the type of winter storm.
Having the capacity to blend materials allows the operators to match the proper liquid deicer to the storm as conditions change. Liquid deicers are used for anti-
icing operations and to pre-wet road salt before it is applied on the pavement. The use of liquid deicers is an essential part of our snow and ice control operations.
Funding this request will replace outdated and obsolete electrical hardware and software with state of the art components and enhance brine making and blending
efficiency.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides funds to purchase truck-mounted, multiple-cutting-edge snow plows to replace the Public Works Department's current single-edge snow
plows. The new snow plows would be purchased and installed on new replacement trucks as they are put into service.
JUSTIFICATION
In 2009, under the Clear Roads Winter Maintenance Research Program, four participating snow plow manufacturers designed new innovative snow plows capable
of using multiple cutting edges. This new technology allows snow plow operators to choose the best cutting edge for the winter pavement conditions that they are
experiencing at any point during a winter storm. In the spring of 2011, the Public Works Department received delivery of its first multiple-edge snow plow. This
plow, along with two others purchased in the fall of 2011, were successfully tested during the 2011-2012 winter season. The new plows would be installed on new
replacement trucks as they are purchased. Under this schedule, two (2) plows would be replaced in FY2019. Funding this project would allow the Public Works
Department to complete the conversion of its fleet of truck-mounted single-edge snow plows to multiple-cutting-edge snow plows. The new plows save fuel by
reducing the number of passes needed on each street to establish a safe driving surface. The new plows also reduce the amount of deicer used to achieve bare
pavement after a winter storm.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project would provide the necessary funds to repair the underwater section of the municipal boat ramp in AY McDonald Park at the east end of Hawthorne
Street.
JUSTIFICATION
In 1997, this boat ramp was reconstructed above its Mississippi River water line. As part of that project, new concrete panels were joined to the ramp's existing
concrete panels below the water line. However, in recent years we have noted accelerated deterioration of the underwater section of the boat ramp. On several
occasions, sections of steel edging, iron rebar, and broken concrete have been removed to eliminate the underwater hazards they presented to boaters. Also,
whenever the Mississippi River experiences low water levels, boaters have been having problems with their boat trailers dropping off the submerged end of the
boat ramp. This project would involve installing a cofferdam around the underwater portion of the ramp, replacing the deteriorated, previously-submerged concrete
panels, and also adding additional panels to extend the ramp further into the river.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the replacement of two of the Public Works Department's two air vacuum street sweepers. Unit#4008 is a 2009 Elgin four-wheel
sweeper and is requested to be replaced after eleven (11) years of service. Unit#4002 is a Schwarze four-wheel air sweeper and is requested to be replaced
after seven (7) years of service. A seven year work life for this type of unit is considered the industry norm, balancing warranties, depreciation, reliability, and
trade-in value.
JUSTIFICATION
The Public Works Department has a total of three sweepers in its fleet, two of which are air vacuum sweepers. The City's three street sweepers are used to clean
Dubuque's streets, downtown alleys, green alleys, and municipal parking lots. These sweepers clean the downtown every two days, arterial streets every two
weeks, and the remaining streets every two months. These sweepers are also used to sweep Dubuque's newly-constructed "green alleys"four times each year to
ensure that they perform as designed. City streets are swept Monday through Friday year round whenever weather permits. By sweeping litter, dirt, debris, leaves,
etc. from city streets and green alleys, Dubuque's air quality and surface waters are protected and its aesthetics improved. Replacing this machine will also help
Dubuque comply with its federal Phase II storm water permit obligations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project would provide for the replacement of wheel loader#3250, a 2000 John Deere 624H wheel loader, in FY2021. This new, replacement wheel loader
would be equipped with a front-mount snow plow with plow gate attachment and wing plow.
JUSTIFICATION
During the warm weather months, wheel loaders are used to lift and load stone, asphalt, and demolition materials on various street and sewer maintenance repair
projects. During the winter months, wheel loaders are used to not only plow streets and cul-de-sacs during major winter snow storms, but also subsequently
remove snow accumulations from downtown streets and residential cul-de-sacs. After twenty (20) years of continuous use, this unit will definitely be due for
replacement.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This annual project provides for the replacement of nine (9) solid waste collection vehicles from Fiscal Year 2018 through Fiscal Year 2022 as follows: Fiscal Year
2018 (#3404 one rear loader), Fiscal Year 2019 (#3403 and#3407 two side loaders), Fiscal Year 2020 (#3412 and#3413 two side loaders), Fiscal Year 2021
(#3411 and#3415 two side loaders), Fiscal Year 2022 (#3416 and#3417 two side loaders). These trucks will be eight to ten years old by their proposed
replacement years. The new units' proposed work lives will meet industry standards. This recommendation is to purchase low-entry dual-drive side-loader and
conventional rear-loader cab-over compressed natural gas (CNG) fueled vehicles in future years. Private and public sector collection service providers are now
purchasing more CNG-fueled vehicles annually than diesel-fueled vehicles, citing lower fuel costs and compliance with some states' clean air regulations. CNG
vehicle fuel is domestically produced and readily available for purchase in Dubuque. It has been confirmed that while CNG-fueled vehicles can be parked
overnight in the Municipal Services Center, major modifications would have to be made to the MSC's vehicle maintenance shop before our mechanics could
perform drivetrain repair work on them. However, most heavy truck drivetrain repair work is already outsourced to private sector specialist garages.
As noted in the preceding paragraph, the private sector industry's two primary reasons for purchasing CNG-fueled collection vehicles are operational cost savings
and regulatory compliance. Our calculations show that a minimum $1.00 per gallon price differential between CNG vehicle fuel and bio-diesel fuel is needed to
offset the additional $35,000 purchase cost of a CNG-fueled collection vehicle within its City fleet lifetime. That differential is based on an average of 10 years of
operation and 100,000 miles of use. Obviously, low oil prices at the present time have eliminated that cost differential. However, one must readily acknowledge
that the low oil prices of today could be gone in the near future. As a result, we recommend that beginning in Fiscal Year 2018, the City solicit bid proposals for
both diesel-fueled and CNG-fueled collection vehicles in the future. At the time of each bid opening, a life-cycle cost analysis would be performed to determine
which purchase proves to be the most economical option. In the interim, the city will continue to seek alternate funding to lessen or eliminate the upfront costs
related to the purchase of CNG trucks. Currently, the City of Dubuque and the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency are both evaluating the feasibility of
producing BioCNG at the City's Water and Resource Recovery Center and the Agency's Landfill. The results of their research may be an additional consideration
impacting the City's future decisions regarding purchasing Clean Diesel or CNG fuel vehicles.
203
JUSTIFICATION
The nine trucks scheduled/proposed for purchase are used to collect and haul refuse, compostables, large items and recyclables. "Cab-over" chassis are
requested for two reasons: 1) Significantly better driver sight lines, thereby reducing the likelihood of a vehicular accident, and, 2) The shorter overall vehicle length
will allow easier and safer operation on Dubuque's many narrow streets and alleys.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Environmental Quality Goal Five: To assure appropriate control, collection, disposal, and per capita reduction of
stormwater, wastewater, solid wastes, and household hazardous wastes, objectives 5.3) Promote a safe and sanitary environment along the city's streets, alleys,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides funds to hire a private contractor to chemically treat 18,000 lineal feet of sanitary sewer lines throughout the city each year through Fiscal
Year 2023, with a perceived need to increase the footage treated no later than Fiscal Year 2021, given the increased number of sewer defects identified recently.
JUSTIFICATION
Tree roots in sanitary sewer lines are one of the major causes of sanitary sewer clogs, backups into homes, and overflows onto streets and private properties.
Tree roots are extremely invasive when seeking moisture and typically invade sanitary sewer pipes through cracks and open joints. They then grow into thick
natural curtains, collecting solids and greases and eventually causing major clogs, backups and overflows. In-pipe chemical treatment of roots kills the invasive
roots and retards future root growth for up to five years. This annual program reduces the number of sanitary sewer overflows and the number of private homes
damaged due to sewer backups each year. This program is also noted in the City's Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance (CMOM) program, which
was approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 2012.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the replacement of twenty-eight (28) vehicle-mounted, multi-band, two-way radios used by the Public Works Department to communicate
with its crews in the field and those of other departments, including the City's public safety departments. These radios are also used to communicate with other
public agencies during times of emergency and/or natural disaster. Due to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, the current radios need to be
upgraded or replaced by July 1, 2018.
JUSTIFICATION
The noted radios are used daily by the Public Works Department for command-to-crew, inter-crew, and interdepartmental crew communications. They are
especially essential for communication with crews, other departments, and public safety departments/agencies during periods of severe weather and other
emergencies. Past experience has shown that cellular telephone communications are unreliable and often compromised by high usage during extraordinary

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides funds to purchase flood control units to be used for temporary flood control along the City of Dubuque's floodwall system and at other
locations in the city, as deemed necessary.
JUSTIFICATION
The City's floodwall system protects it to a river elevation of 30' -with an additional 3'feet of"wakeboard". In FY11 and FY13, the City purchased 10,000 lineal
feet of HESCO flood control units each year. The "Hescos" are currently stored on pallets at the former Public Works Garage for quick deployment in the event of
a river level forecast predicting overtopping the City's permanent flood control levees and walls. The units could also be used to stabilize a section of levee in the
case of a developing levee breach. Funding is requested in FY19 to purchase an additional 10,000 lineal feet of temporary flood control units similar to the Hescos
-the final complement of flood control units needed to raise the City's entire flood control system by 4'. In FY20, funding is requested to purchase an additional
2,000 lineal feet of two and six foot tall flood control units to protect the Mystique Ice Arena. The Mystique Ice Arena is located on Schmitt Island, which is not
protected by Dubuque's floodwall system.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will provide funds for the replacement of sewer maintenance vehicle #2704. This unit is a 2007 International truck chassis equipped with a Camel 200
jet/vac combination unit. It is used daily to clean sewer pipes and remove debris from Dubuque's gravity-flow sanitary sewer collection system. This self-
contained, high-pressure water jet and vacuum unit uses various types of cleaner heads to remove debris and roots from Dubuque's sanitary sewers for the
purpose of preventing basement backups and above-ground overflows. This unit is also used to remove debris from storm sewer intakes and pipes. Replacing
this unit in FY19 will provide the Public Works Department with a reliable unit for maintaining Dubuque's sanitary and storm sewer systems, as required by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Clean Water Act.
JUSTIFICATION
The City's sanitary sewer collection system includes 288 miles of gravity-flow sanitary sewer pipe, which are maintained by the Public Works Department. In order
to maintain this system, the Public Works Department uses a high pressure jet flushing/vacuum combination machine (#2704) to repeatedly clean problem areas
identified for predictive/preventive maintenance. The problem pipes are cleaned on either a monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual schedule, the schedule having been
developed over the years based on demonstrated need and experience. In addition, this unit is also used to systematically clean fifty (50) miles of sanitary sewer
pipe every year that are not scheduled for regular maintenance. The unit is also used to clean the storm sewer intake and pipe system located throughout the
city. After ten (10) years of continual use, the unit is recommended for replacement to avoid possible future costly repairs and unit downtime

Improvement Package Summary
Sanitary Sewer
1 of 2
This decision package provides additional funds that would allow front-line sanitary maintenance
employees the opportunity to take advantage of training opportunities in their related fields of
responsibility. The department is currently under change as long-time employees, with years of service
and institutional knowledge, are retiring and being replaced with a talented but untrained workforce as it
relates to all areas of Public Works. One of the ways to provide learning opportunities for this workforce
is peer to peer training which is best received by attending various types of training events or
conferences available throughout the year. Funding this decision package would provide our front line

This decision package provides additional funds that would allow to increase the number of software
license the City would have available for the Cartegraph asset management system. Currently, the
Public Works Department is using the Cartegraph OMS software to manage the street pavements, the
sanitary sewer gravity flow system, street signs, green alleys, and flood control assets. We also use
the software to track non-asset cost related to snow and ice control. Atotal of eleven (11) users are
currently using the system or providing support for the system. The cost of the software is shared
between the Engineering Department and the Public Works Department based on the number of users.
In the Public Works Department, the cost is funded in the sign, street, and sanitary sewer activities
budgets. Six additional licenses are needed in the sanitary sewer activity to fully impliment the mobile
sanitary sewer application. The costs related to those licienses alone would total $18,900. With
expanded use of mobile technology in the area of asset management, the City would benefit by
changing from the current practice of single user licenses to the next level of licensing. The Public
Works Department is considering expanding the use of Cartegraph and other departments are
considering implementing the software to manage their assets. As we continue to build out the asset
management system, the City will require additional licenses. This decision package will not only meet
our current need for additional liciences but will meet the future needs of users City wide. The next
level would provide up to 50 name users on the system at an additional cost of$20,138. If funded, this
would meet the need for additional licenses for the department, but also allow other departments
expand their use of asset management software.

This decision package provides additional funds that would allow front-line street maintenance
employees the opportunity to take advantage of training opportunities in their related fields of
responsibility. The department is currently under change as long-time employees, with years of service
and institutional knowledge, are retiring and being replaced with a talented but untrained workforce as it
relates to all areas of Public Works. One of the ways to provide learning opportunities for this workforce
is peer to peer training which is best received by attending various types of training events or
conferences available throughout the year. Funding this decision package would provide our front line
employees the opportunity to obtain peer to peer training and gain first-hand information which will
make them highly productive employees and the department successful.

This decision package provides additional funds that would allow development of a Public Works Utility
Worker Apprenticeship program. The Public Works Department has been unable to recruit a diverse
and qualified workforce for entry-level positions using our current practices. Under this program, the
Department will develop a registered apprenticeship program which would meet the requirements of the
Iowa Statewide Apprenticeship Program. The program will include a set minimum hours of structured
and supervised on-the-job training and a set minimum hours of classroom related training and
instruction over a two-year program. The program will be developed by creating local partnerships with
Iowa Works, NICC, union representatives and Public Works field staff, to take full advantage of training
grants provided for this type of program. The program will provide the apprentice the education and
experience opportunities necessary to develop the skills and knowledge to prepare them for the Public
Works Utility Worker Civil Service test.
Funding for this program will come in part from the elimination of four (4) seasonal positions in the
street maintenance activity. These positions are usually filled by college age students and are short-
term three-month positions.

This decision package provides additional funds that would allow for the purchase of one 85G mini
excavator and trailer. These funds would supplement funds requested in the street maintenance
operating budget ($86,000) for the replace of unit#3210, a 13-year-old tractor backhoe scheduled for
replacement in FY 2018. Replacing the current backhoe unit with the request mini excavator unit would
provide the operator with improved maneuverability in congested work zones.The rotating, short-radius
house gives the mini excavator a much broader range of reach for loading trucks and can fit in places
where wheel loader backhoes cannot go. The department would benefit from having one of these units
available which will used in many different applications including curb repair, concrete section
repair,and asphalt pavement base repair. The total cost of the mini excavator and trailer is
$135,000. The estimated life of the requested mini excavator is fifteen (15) years. The estimated life of
the trailer is twenty (20) years.

include the fee structure, collection of trash, yard waste/organics recovery, large item collection, and the
recycling program. The goal is intended to enhance the existing programs while exploring new
opportunities including new innovative systems that may be beneficial for the community, including best
management practices for modern collection systems,advanced truck technologies, and other
technologies for cart inventory management.The study would also try to identify ways to enhance
support of neighborhood clean-ups and enhanced education programs.A critical component of this

Strategies
Anti-icing:
Under certain conditions, the use of liquid deicers for pre-storm anti-icing application is
often the most cost effective and environmentally safe practice for snow and ice control.
Pre-storm anti-icing operations require approximately 25% of the material at 10% of the
overall cost when compared to standard storm post-onset de-icing methods. The total
amount of liquid deicer used for anti-icing operations during the winter of 2015-2016 was
32,740 gallons.
De-icing:
The department's FY18 budget requests include funds for labor and equipment to maintain
24/7 plowing and de-icing operations during winter storm events and for the purchase of
7,000 tons of roadway deicer salt at an estimated cost of $59/ton.
Outcome #2: Provide clean and attractive streets and neighborhoods by maintaining
City Right-of-Way (ROW) and properties.
In order to provide our citizens and visitors an aesthetically attractive and sanitary community
environment, Public Works Department crews sweep streets and downtown alleys, and also
cut grass, weeds and brush on City properties and along City right-of-way.
Street cleaning not only removes debris and litter from street gutters, but prevents those materials from
entering the storm sewer system, which drains into the Mississippi River.

The department continues to evaluate the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a vehicle
fuel for the City's heavy trucks, pickup trucks, SUVs, and automobiles.
Three City/department goals are the commitment to reduce the City fleet's carbon footprint, improve the
fleet's overall fuel efficiency, and reduce the City's reliance (vulnerability) on fuels from outside the
USA.
The department will continue to explore/evaluate the use of CNG vehicle fuel, hybrid power,
and plug-in powertrain technologies for future City vehicles.
The City already is using CNG-fueled and electric/gas-engine hybrid vehicles. Yet to be evaluated are
diesel/hydraulic-launch hybrid trucks and plug-in electric automobiles. While the benefits of improved
fuel efficiency and reduced carbon footprint are obvious, initial higher purchase costs for alternative
technology vehicles, new clean diesel engine technology, low oil/conventional vehicle fuel prices, and
constantly evolving alternative technologies argue for continued comparison before any attempts at
mass fleet conversion.
