(Rev. 1100 & 7/01 ) OVERLOOKING THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI 200 Ftain Street · Dubuque Iowa 52001-6942 * Tel. 319-556-4200 · FAX 319-582-5023 July 10, 2002 Ms Jean S~hneider, City Clerk City of Dubuque Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Dear Jean: When the construction of the new parking ramp on Iowa Street initially began, the utilities were moved to a central location to facilitate the construction. However, in connection with this move the Julien was lef~ without natural gas and water service for a period of time. We absorbed the costs of this interruption and our guests had also to suffer certain inconveaiencies. However while we thought the interruption was a one- time occurrence, we were sadly mistaken. The Julien Inn completely lost water service on December 11, 2001. The break in service occurred while the water main was unearthed at the construction site. We were forced to close our restaurant and could not rent out rooms while the water service was down. Although this was not the first time we experienced utility problems related to the construction of the ramp, this was the most costly. Water service was temporally supplied to the Julien and then later restored. While the water was off, the Julien's pipes were drained. Later in the evening we were given temporary service and we refilled the system. The sloan valves in the building (145 rooms plus 27 apartments plus public areas and bar and kitchen areas) ran until they were reset. Repairs to the main were started the next day and as part of the work we were given temporary service. This again caused the lines to be drained and the temporary service from a fire hydrant through a hose was not able to pro-ride the pressure needed for the entire building. When the main was finally repaired and full service again restored, we had to switch from the temporary service to regular service and again had to reset the sloan valves. Until these valves were reset the water ran through the meter, thereby imcreasing our water bill. For yet another time we paid our crew to go through all the rooms and public areas and make the proper adjustments. Because sand entered the water main from the break, the City Water Department required us to replace the water meter. Total Plumbing installed the new meter and we incurred both the cost of the new meter and the labor costs made necessary to refill the system as well as the work required throughout the building to reset the sloan valves that were leaking. We incurred a water bill of twice that of the previous year for this period as a result of the refilling the system and re-setting the valves that were open form the loss of pressure. Subsequently on December 13, 2001 a utility worker at the same parking ramp job site severed our phone service. We are enclosing a bill from McLeod in the amount of $87.98 as incurred because of the break. Attached is our claim for costs incurred in the total amount of $4885.51 as supported by the attached documents. We are not submitting an invoice for business lost as a result of the two interruptions suffered in December 2001. However our dollar volume for that month was clearly down when compared to December 2000. We ask that this matter be forwarded either to your insurance carder or your contractor's carder for proper disposition.
