INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute the Iowa Department of
Transportation (Iowa DOT) Cooperative Agreement (Agreement No. 2018-16-038) for
the Southwest Arterial - East Grading Project from Catfish Creek to Military Road.
BACKGROUND
Through the continued collaborative partnership between the Iowa DOT staff and the
City, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), was signed on August 9, 2013, and
the Transfer of Roadway Jurisdiction (TOJ), was signed on November 7, 2016.
As outlined in the MOU and TOJ, the Iowa DOT and City, in joint cooperation, will
Transfer the Jurisdiction of the Southwest Arterial from the City to the State in exchange
for the Transfer of Jurisdiction of the Northwest Arterial (or Iowa 32), and portions of
existing U.S. 52 1 Iowa 3 through downtown Dubuque, from the State to the City.
Additionally, the Iowa DOT proposed to re-routing of US 52 and utilization of the
Southwest Arterial to carry a portion of re-routed US 52 traffic. The Transfer of
Jurisdiction will occur after the Southwest Arterial is completed and open to traffic.
Following the execution of the MOU and TOJ, the City is continuing as the lead agency
for the multiple project development phases for completing the Southwest Arterial and is
responsible for completing the following improvements:

Arterial, including grading, bridges, interchanges and highway paving.
DISCUSSION
The City will be responsible for obtaining Right -of -Way, Access Connection/Entrance,
Utility Accommodation, and any other construction permits required for the project.
Also, the City will obtain permits and/or approval from Iowa Department of Cultural
Affairs, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, or other State or Federal agency.
As outlined in the Cooperative Agreement, the City shall be responsible for final design,
preparing construction documents and letting bids for the project through the Iowa DOT
in January 2018. The Iowa DOT will be the contracting authority and will be responsible
for the costs associated with the construction, inspection and completion of the following
described primary highway project:
• Grading of a portion of the 4 -lane Southwest Arterial from Military Road to Catfish
Creek.
The Iowa DOT will be responsible for grading the multi -use trail. The City shall accept
responsibility for the multi -use trail including paving, associated fencing and future
maintenance of the multi -use trail.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council adopt the enclosed resolution and authorize the
Mayor to sign the Cooperative Agreement (Agreement No. 2018-16-068) for the
Southwest Arterial - East Grading Project from Catfish Creek to Military Road.
