Star Brewery RPF Develop. TeamMEMORANDUM August 26, 2002 TO:The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM:Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT:Selection of Two Developer Teams to Respond to a Request for Proposals for the Former Dubuque Star Brewery Building Four responses were received to the Request for Qualifications to redevelop the Dubuque Star Brewery building. Economic Development Director Bill Baum is requesting City Council authorization to invite The Alexander Company team and the Platinum Hospitality team to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP). A Selection Committee, comprised of the following persons, reviewed the four RFQ submittals received: Jerry Enzler, National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Sue Czeshinski, Convention and Visitors Bureau Rick Dickinson, Greater Dubuque Development Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Pauline Joyce, Administrative Services Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager Bill Baum, Economic Development Director Pam Myhre, Economic Development Planner The Committee reviewed the submitted qualifications of each team, using selection criteria that evaluated the team's knowledge and experience in commercial/mixed-use development, ability to tackle large historic restoration projects and financial capacity to undertake the proposed redevelopment project. Additional information was requested from three of the four teams before a recommendation was made. On review of all the information submitted, two of the teams were felt to possess the necessary abilities and resources to successfully complete a redevelopment project of the size and scope demanded by the Brewery building. The Committee felt that two teams, The Alexander Company team and the Platinum Hospitality team, offered the City the best opportunities for successful redevelopment and reuse. Each of the two teams brings experience in development, historic preservation, downtown redevelopment, retail and entertainment marketing and management. Each of the two teams has successfully undertaken multi-million dollar development projects in downtown and/or riverfront locations. In moving to the RFP stage, the developer team must fully develop a concept plan for the financially feasible reuse of the building. The RFP will require identification of a clear reuse plan for the entire building, redevelopment cost estimates, financing sources and a pro forma analysis to understand the project's cashflow and ability to repay debt. Because of the Dubuque Star Brewery's key location, its redevelopment as another anchor property for the Port of Dubuque is especially critical. The RFQ process was intended to identify interested and qualified developer teams that would be invited to submit an RFP. The RFQ did not require the team to present a full-fledged concept plan for the reuse of the building; however, some of the teams did share their general concept for building reuse.

Among the company's notable accomplishments am the conversions of aban- doned schools, factories, turn-of-the-century high-rises, train depots, hotels and a multitude of downtown buildings into high quality apartments, hotels, restaurants and commercial uses. In addition, it has completed several mixed- use master developments incorporating new construction, historic preservation, and "brownfield" sites. The firm is annually involved in over $100 million of development projects throughout the central United States and has won numer- ous design and civic awards of excellence for its achievements in construction, architecture and development. The determination to accept challenges that few real estate developers are will- ing to accept and an unswerving commitment to the building's usem are the keys to The Alexander Company's success. A key component in making this philosophy work is the Company's compre- hensive approach of integrated Project Management (I. RM.). Our organization combines the skills of developer, architect, construction manager, commercial broker and facilities manager under common leadership to create a single point of responsibility. The staff is involved in every initiative from the conceptual stage until long after the doors of a building open. Design solutions blend form and function with state of the art amenities, and rigorous construction standards are applied. Lastly, professional prope~ management techniques are utilized to ensure that asset values are maintained. Founded in 1981, The Alexander Company found its driving force and philoso- phy in its first project: the worst house in the neighborhood. Throughout the course of this project it was realized that there was an adversarial nature of the relationship between the builder, architect, and the owner. The solution was to provide a service that could coordinate all these disciplines, thus providing a singular accountability. Always at the cutting edge of the urban development movement, The Alexander Company has set new standards in the field and, with each development, unveils new horizons for the mai estate environment.

COMPANY PROFILE I Durrant Established in 1933, with a vision for growth, service and success, amhitect Joseph Durrant opened his first office in Boscobei, Wisconsin. After the end of the Second World War the influence of the firm had grown to cover the states of Illinois, iowa and Wisconsin and a Chicago office was opened. In the summer of 1948, a Dubuque, Iowa office was opened to better serve an ever- expanding clientele. By the 1950's the firm had grown five fold as a result of the post-war construction boom. Success was the hallmark of the 1960's. Larger and more complex commis- sions and a broader geographical influence were realized. In the 1970's the partnership reorganized as a corporation responding to its growing regional influence and the expanding demands on professional service providers. Recognizing the need to be a full service organization, the disciplines of engi- neering and construction management were folded into the practice and in so doing the foundation was laid for Durrant's full-service capabilities. Acquiring a successful engineering firm and the addition of construction management services allowed Durrant to shepherd its clients seamlessiy through the entire design and construction process. Inthe 1980's Durrant's growth leapfrogged west. Through another acquisi- tion, Durrant expanded into Colorado with offices in Denver and Colorado Springs. It was midway through this expansive decade that the firm's founder, Joseph Durrant, passed on at the age of 78. content in the realization that his namesake company would continue to provide exceptional design services based on the model he had established. The 1990's yielded additional growth into the Southwest with the opening of offices in Arizona and Texas. Now at the start of the 21st century, E)urrant cel- ebrates with new offices in iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Texas. Missouri, Hawaii and expanded service offerings including interior design, historic restoration, sport facility design and management, facility financing, security design, and civil engineering. Each Durrant office is comprised of a diverse and talented group of individuals that draws upon strengths and resources from across the entire Durmnt family of design, engineering and construction management professionals, offering the full spectrum of capabilities. Today's Durrant, with thirteen offices and 370 deslgn professionals, is strategi- cally situated to offer comp .ehensive services anywhere in North America.

Upon selection of The Alexander Team. we will deliver to the City recommenda- tions as to the most suitable and most probable re-use of the existing buildings and the surrounding District. To make this recommendation a team of Alexander Company, Durrant and Kraemer professionals will, througn a series of visits, complete the following: Site Evaluation Building Evaluation Market Analysis rtaving completed our field work, we will use our extensive experience in devel- oping, constructing, financing and managing residential anc commercial real estate to create a feasible plan for the redevelopment of the Star Brewery site that takes advantage of the historic character of the existing buildings. The con- ceptual plan will be documented in a report to the City that will include: Design Drawings and Conceptual Renderings Financial Analysis including a Development and Operating Budget The final phase of the project is the implementation of the Master Development Plan. This implementation phase includes: Development Agreement/Permitting and Approvals Architecture and Engineering Financing Construction and Property Management More detailed descriptions of each phase of the scope of services to be provid- ed is set forth below: FEASIBILITY Site Evaluation A team of professionals will evaluate the existing building, site and surrounding uses. The evaluation will focus on potential environmental issues, factors lim- iting and features enhancing deveiopmem options. Our evaluation will identity linkages to other properties and the impact of surrounding real estate on the redevelopment of the'area. Attention will be paid to visibility, traffic and pedes- trian flow through the area. The nature of the surrounding uses will De considered as we create a develop- ment plan for the site. The nature of the existing space will dictate the poten- tial uses. The site is, of course, a major influence on the development. Physical charac- teristics (such as size, configuration, topography, and geotechnica] issues), environmental factors (view, existing vegetation, climate, solar orientation, GENERAL CONTRACTOR Durrant ! APPROACH Master Development drainage), access, and adjacent land uses, affect the design concept, the bud- get, and the scheduleTor the development. Building Evaluation The team of design and construction professionals will complete the evaluation of the existing structure. Through the use of existing buildings plans, phc- tographs and site visits, our professionals will determine what limiting factors as well as opportunities exist. The size of the floor plates, the placement of the windows, the height of ceilings, and the condition of the existing structure all contribute to the development of a design program for the redevelopment of existing buildings. The goal in the building evaluation is to become intimately familiar with existing conditions to minimize unknown conditions during the development of the buildings. Particularly interesting architectural features are also noted so that they can be worked into the building design. Market Analysis The Alexander Company will provide comprehensive market analysis services to determine the depth and nature of market demand for residential and commer- cial real estate in the area. Our market analysis forms the primary source for the projection of revenues. The information provided in the market analysis will also have an impact ~n the project design since the amenities offered and quality of construction at competitive properties effect the design solutions and revenue assumptions for the building. Through multiple visits, our market study staff will collect information to focus their research. Conversations with the local real estate professionals and city officials provide an overview of the market dynamics ano competitive proper- ties. Printed information from the Chamber of Commerce and information from competitive property intemet sites provide additional information. Additional information will be gathered during a visit. Our market reseamh staff will visit the: Chamber of Commerce. Surrounding 3usinesses City planning and zoning office, and neighboring residential developmems. The results of the market research will be documented for future use by the team. A standardized Market Study form is produced for each competitive prop- arty. GE~RAL CONTRACTOR Durrant ! APPROACH Master Development CONCEPT & PLANNING Design Drawings and ConCeptual Renderings Durrant will prepare complete schematic drawings acceptable to the City. The primary objective of the schematic drawings is to arrive at a clearly defined, fea- sible concept and to achieve understanding, acceptance, and consensus as a team. The secondary objectives are to clarify the project program, explore the most promising alternative design solutions, and provide a basis to analyze the economics of the project. The schematic drawings will be consistent with the historic character of the property. The schematic drawings will establish: Site plan, Floor Plans, Elevations, and S~tistical summary of the design area including square footages for each use. At this stage the amhitect wil[ make sure that the uses that am being designed are practical in the space that is available. Some of the questions to De answered at this phase include: Am the windows appropriate for the use? is there sufficient room for the use? Are there special requirement like a commercial kitchen or public bathrooms that existing building conditions make impossible? is there usable space for recreation? Will the structure and soils support the weight of the intended use? During the schematic design phase, the amhitect will conduct a preliminary code review that will include parking and Icad requirements, exiting considerations, building area and height limitations. Financial Analysis The financial implications of a development and the relationship between com- ponents are explored through financial analysis. The Alexander Company will create a financial model that will include: Development Budget Operating Budget, and Source of Funds Summary The financial analysis compiles the financial data from each stage of develop- ment, (construction, lease up, and operations) and explores the implications of varying assumptions. More important]y, the financial analysis indicates the eco- nomic performance required for the project to be financially feasible. This financial road map must be more than numbers on paper. It must reflect GENERAL CONTRACTOR Durrant I APPROACH Master Development the reality of: the construction process, operating performance, market factors, and construction engineering and budgeting. The Alexander Company's history in real estate, development, design, con- struction, lease up and management is integral to an accurate financial forecast. Our construction and operational data base developed from constructing and operating more than 200 buildings combined with Kraemer Brothers experience in the pre-construction phase of over 400 buildings will be used to project con- struction costs, financing and other soft costs, future revenues, and operating expenses. IMPLEMENTATION Developer Agreement/Governmental Approvals Upon completion of the Planning Process The City and The Alexander Company will partner to execute the findings of the previous phases. At that point con* struction documents will be 3roduced and submitted for all appropriate approvals. Financing The partnership between the City and the Alexander Team will be critical when considering financing the development. There are a variety of partnering tools available to ensure the successful execution of a Master Development such as this; these tools include tax incremental financing, land loans, County, State and Federal grants and financing programs, as well as other creative financing tools. The success of this project will hinge on the ability of the City and the Alexander Team to work toward a common goal in considering all available financing tools. Architecture and Engineering The highest quality design and construction documents will be produced by the Durrant's architecture and engineering division. The key to successful, on bud- get, timely construction are top quality construction documents. Construction and Property Management The Team has extensive experience in Master plan development and the phased construction required to efficiently and effectively complete each component of the plan in a timely and professional manner. Kraemer Brothers will work hand in hand with other members of the team to ensure that goals, budgets and schedules are met throughout the implementation of the Master Plan. APPROACH Master Development Upon Completion of each stage of construction, The Alexander Company's high- iy experienced brokerage and management teams will sell or lease and ~)rofes- sionally manage each component. This witl help ensure the success of the pro- ject well into the future. GENERAL CONTRACTOR CENTRAL STATION PROJECT PROFILE Memph~,TN Size: 63 Apartments 12,000 Square Feet of Commercial Space 23,000 Square Feet For Memphis Area Transit Authority, Amtrak, and Memphis Police Department Cost: $18.7 Million Completion Date: September 1999 Built in 1914, Memphis' Central Station has always played an important role in the vital- ity of the city. The station served as not only the main passenger rail hub for the region but aisc as the offices and headquarters of several railway companies. The revitalization effort took into consideration the rich history and feeling of pride sur- rounding Central Station. The Main Hall was painstakingly restored to the last detail including the original Arrival and Departure board. The renovated building includes 63 apartment residences and 35,000 square feet of commemial space. The facility still serves as an Amtrak Passenger Station to this day. Additionally, the Memphis Police Department and the Memphis Area Transit Authority call Central Station home now. Amenities for the residents include a rooftop garden, large windows with views of the river and downtown, and large well-appointed apartments. The development was the winner of the American Planning Association Outstanding Planning Award for a Project and The Paul Gruenberg Award for best adaptive reuse of an existing building. PROJECT PROFILE WASHINGTON SQUARE APARTMENTS Green Bay, Wisconsin Size: Cost: Completion Date: 131 Residential Rental Units 13,500 Square Feet of Commercial Space $13.3 Million 2000 This residential development in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin is an excellent example of urban infill development. The Washington Square apartments are a key component in the City's revitalization plans, and have provided Green Bay with first class rental hous- ing in its downtown area. The building is constructed of high quality materials including brick with stone accents. Its large windows provide pleasant dyer wews, and its modi- fied arts-and-crafts design blends appropriately with the existing character of the down- town. · Several sources of financing were necessary to complete the development of this excep- tional project, t was partially financed by the City of Green Bay through the use of a Tax Incremental Funding Grant. Equity was raised by a private placement and a traditional first mortgage debt provided the balance of the funding. The Alexander Company continues to be the asset manager for this property. DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Madison, Wisconsin PROJECT PROFILE Size: Cost: Completion Date: 240,000 Square Feet of Office Space $30 Million October 2000 The State of Wisconsin made the decision to consolidate the five different Department of Revenue operations in the City of Madison. The State needed a site with easy access for its employees and yet, within reasonable proximity to the Capitol. The State was also looking for the most cost-effective answer to its needs. The Alexao. der Company was selected because of its reputation for dealing with thai- tenging sites and fast-track schedules. The site is located adjacent to a major highway interchange and wetlands, and sits on a former landfill that was improperly zoned. Once given notice to proceed, the team completed wetland mapping and obtained fill permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. It also gained storm water detention plan approval from the City of Madison and traffic signalling plan approval from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation as well as Dane County. Additionally, the Alexander team designed the building and commenced construction in less then three months. The ground breaking for the Department of Revenue Building occurred within the desired timeline, on May 6, 1999. The team also gained necessary approvals relating to zoning, conditional use and early foundation starts from the WI Dept. of Commeme, Dane County, and the Wi Dept. of Administration. PROJECT PROFILE ELECTRIC BUILDING Fort Worth, Texas Size: Cost: Completion Date: 106 Residential Rental Units 8,000 Square Feet of Commercial Space $10 Million 1996 Built during 1928-1930, the Electric Building was part of a carefully planned expansion in For~ Worth, Texas. The eighteen-story building was long considered one of the most imposing in the city and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ele- gant buff brick building featured rich stone and terra cotta detailing'and decorative friezes. Located in the heart of the downtown financial district, the building was for many years the headquarters of Fort Worth Power and Light, but by the 1990's it was vacant and in a state of decay. The Alexander 6ompany restored the building creating 106 residential rental units and 8,000 square feet of commercial space. Using various financing tools including Historic Tax Credits, Affordable Housing Tax Credits, Tax Abatement and traditional first mortgage financing, The Alexander Team was able to return the landmark building to its former sta- tus, and create a home for a new generation of urban pioneers. Cemparg PROJECT PROFILE ARCADE APARTMENTS I Rac~e, Wiscons~ Size: Cost: Completion Date: 75 Residential Rental Units 12,800 Square Feet of Commemiai Space $8.3 Million 1996 Three historic buildings in downtown Racine, Wisconsin were owned by the Resolution Trust Corporation and had been vacant for years when the City of Racine invited the Alexander Company to explore the possibility of renovating the buildings. The City had a great interest in seeing the buildings rehabilitated. The buildings were not only important for the production of needed affordable housing, but they were also instrumental in the revitalization of the downtown. In cooperation with the Alexander Company, the city acquired the buildings and sold them for a nominal price to a limited liability company established for the purpose of developing the buildings. With the use of Historic Tax Credits, Affordable Housing Tax Credits, Home Funds and Tax Incremental Financing, The Alexander Company converted these vacant buildings into 75 residential rental units and 12,800 square feet of commercial space. During the restora- tion, the terra cotta detail of the original facade was discovered intact, and restored. The rehabilitation resulted in a dramatic visual change to the streetscape and spurred the revi- talization of Main Street Racine. HILLCREST APARTMENTS Toledo, Ohio PROJECT PROFILE Size: Cost: Completion Date: 106 Residential Rental Units 9,000 Square Feet of Commemial Space $12.3 Million 1996 The Hilicrest Hotel once acted as the center of social activity in Toledo, Ohio, when famous patrons filled the halls and suites of this majestic structure. Since the height of its social heyday the building had become vacant and fallen into disrepair. Years of neglect made the restoration of this property a major challenge. The Alexander Company undertook the project in 1995 after restoring a series of other buildings in Toledo and other cities in Ohio. The rehabilitation effort resulted in 106 apartment residences with interior parking and several commercial suites. The Hiilcrest apartments have been managed by the Alexander Company since the completion of the renovation in 1996. RAIL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN Madison, Wisconsin PROJECT PROFILE Size: Cost: Completio~ Date: 220,000 Square Feet of Commercial Space 30,000 Square Feet of Retail Space 86 Residential Rental Units $40.1 Million 7 of 10 Buildings Completed Prior to I987, the 13 acre site was a abandoned rail yard located in the heart of Madison, Wisconsin. s~x blocks west of the State's Capitol and on the south edge of the University of Wisconsin campus. The objective was to create a comfortable, urban community of mutually supportive commercial and residential uses, which capitalize on the synergistic linkage between downtown and the University of Wisconsin campus. The buildings are part of a mixed-use development which includes commercial, retail, anQ housing com- portents in new as well as historic buildings. This development required expertise in the use of Tax Incremental Financing (TiF) and a public offering. The complexities of the site included contaminated materials requiring the removal of thousands of tuns of soil before construction could begin, renovation of two abandoned and dilapidated historic buildings, construction activities in occupied buildings and fast track scheduling to meet tenant requirements. The Alexander Team provided a full range of services, including financing, architecture. construction management, general contracting, leasing, and property management.

The extremely tight posed a challenge. Construction workers parked off-site at a local chumh and were transported by bus to the project site. An off-site staging area for the storage of material was aisc utilized. Because of the limited staging area, the structural steel was erected directly off the delivery trucks. it was necessary to perform some construction operations during off hours. The assem- bly and removal of cranes had to be done in the early morning hours, it wasn't unusual to see a crane driving down State Street at 3:00 - 4:00 A.M., as closing the street was an option. The project consisted of a very complex vertical expansion on a confined site with the building fully occupied during construction. Even though the logistics of the site and existing structure made the project challenging, Kraemer Brothers still finished the prol- ect three months early. PROJECT PROFILE HO-CHUNK CASINO, HOTEL & CONVENTION CENTER - LAKE DELTON, WI Kraemer Brothers ~ CONTRACTOR Construction Cost: Size: Schedule: $90,000,000 650,000 Square Feet 19 Months- On Schedule Constructed in a 19-month schedule, the complex contains 650,000 square feet. When added the the existing casino, Ho-Chunk is now the largest gaming complex in the Midwest. The $30 million dollar casino portion of the project was started in November of 1998 with a scheduled opening in June of 1999. The $60 million balance of the project consisting of a hotel and convention center was started in April of 1999 and completed in June of 2000. Constructing the Phase I portion in less than seven months required a new type of scheduling called "hyper-track", where even work performed in the winter outside in the elements would be done through the use of a night shift. The casino project was complex and varied and completed on schedule. The completion was made more difficult by some of the unusual construction requirements, including a vast network of uniquely designed soffits and reveals all requiring neon backlighting, 27,000 fiber optic ceiling stars, spe- cially sculpted steel and concrete decor items, and a 50,000 square feet access floor sys- tem containing over 100 miles of slot security and surveillance cabling. The hotel contains 315 luxury rooms in a four-story configuration, and the convention center contains 200,000 square feet of exhibition, restaurant and retail space. Second shift scheduling was not required during the construction of the hotel and convention center. PROJECT PROFILE HO-CHUNK CASINO, HOTEL & CONVENTION CENTER - LAKE DELTON, WI Kraerner Brothers GENERAL CONTRACTOR On all phases, all project subcontractors and suppliers were required to guarantee crew sizes and uninterrupted material deliveries. A commitment was made to accept design and scope changes without impact to the project schedule. Over 1,000 changes were absorbed into the previously issues Guaranteed Maximum Price, and the schedule was maintained even though these changes included items such as the addition of a third restaurant and a substantial daycare center both occurring deep into the construction of the project. Project requirements also included a complete expansion and upgrading of alt infrastruc- ture including a sewage treatment facility, water distribution facilities, a massive standby power generation system and parking for over 10,000 cars. The entire project was accomplished within the constraints of an existing operating casi- no, which was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week with thousands of customers and employees entering and existing the facility daily. The project was completed with no shut downs or interruptions required of the existing operations.

These hospitals have pumued an aggressive growth plan that has involved expansion of all the critical care components of their facilities, in all case, the construction work had to be accomplished while these critical care areas remained in service. Our expertise in multiple-phased construction, constructing temporary care facilities, awareness of the staff needs and operations, and our sensitivity to the client's requirements made Kraemer a valuable team member for these projects. Construction challenges included the construction of additions on terms, selection of materials, systems, and field scheduling of those to reduce vibra- tion to the existing structures. In some cases, temporary emergency departments or temporary main entry lobbies had to be constructed while other components where being built in their place. Infastructure issues were numerous with the expansion of all basic mechanical, electrical and util- ity services as project requirements, in addition to structural building frame modifications were among many other challenges.
