INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council approval, the recommended Request for
Proposals for qualified consulting services to implement a $70,000 Caffish Creek
Watershed State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) award for the Valentine Park SRF project.
BACKGROUND
Valentine Park is an 11-acre public neighborhood park located on the south side of
Dubuque and accessed off Valentine Drive. The City of Dubuque recently acquired an
8-acre residential property adjacent to Valentine Park accessed off Cody Drive for a
total of 19 acres of parkland.
The Caffish Creek Watershed Management Authority manages a cost-share grant
program with funding from the SRF Sponsorship Program. The Watershed
Management Authority evaluates applications in terms of cost, feasibility, goals in the
Caffish Creek Watershed Management Plan, visibility (public benefit), and City level of
participation. Public projects with educational components are funded 100% with SRF.
Management measures identified in the Caffish Creek Watershed Management Plan for
Valentine Park and neighborhood concerns with stormwater runoff prompted City staff
to initiate this SRF project for the entire 19-acre expanded parkland. The Watershed
Management Authority approved the City's request for a $70,000 SRF award for the
Valentine Park project.
DISCUSSION
The Valentine Park SRF Project involves installation of best management practices for
the entire 19-acre expanded parkland. The SRF ProjecYs management measures
include: Replant the northern half of slopes to prairie to reduce mowing/maintenance
costs; bioswales to be cut into perimeter of parking lot with curb cuts; existing parking
islands converted to depressed rain gardens with curb cuts, soil quality restoration and
additional native plantings to naturalize unused slopes throughout the 19-acre parkland.
The Valentine Park SRF Project will remove non-native species and plant native
vegetation to help control erosion by stabilizing sloped areas. Soil quality restoration
and additional native plantings will reduce that contribute to stormwater runoff impacting
downstream neighbors. Creating rain gardens and vegetated swales (bioswales) to
capture water promotes infiltration and reduces the amount of runoff entering Catfish
Creek. City staff consultation with the Catfish Creek Watershed Management Authority
and the Watershed Management Plan will serve as the project guide.
The City's intent is that the Valentine Park SRF Project also be a demonstration project
for landowners interested in similar practices. Educational costs are funded separately
from SRF.
With approval of the enclosed Request for Proposals, the City of Dubuque would solicit
competitive proposals from qualified consultants to provide planning, permitting, design,
construction and local engagement of neighbors and Dubuque citizens for native
restoration and soil quality restoration in Valentine Park using the SRF funds.
BUDGETIMPACT
The estimated cost of$70,000 for watershed management measures would be covered
100°k by SRF. This is consistent with the Catfish Creek Watershed Management
Authority's determination that public projects with educational components would be
funded 100°k by SRF.
The City plans to commit $5,000 in funding from the regional Parks to People plan for
educational / interpretive signage about the watershed and the demonstration project.
There is no direct cost to the City for the Valentine Park SRF ProjecYs watershed
management measures or educational components.
REQUESTED ACTION
The requested action is for the City Council to approve the Request for Proposals for
the Valentine Park SRF Project.

Page 11 of 20
INITIAL EVALUATION CRITERIA
Proposals will be screened to ensure that they meet the minimum requirements of the
proposal format. A selection committee of City of Dubuque personnel will review
qualifying proposals and select Firms for placement on the Consultant short-list for the
project. The following criteria are among those that will be used to initially evaluate
submitted proposals.
1 . The proposed project team's level of professional competence and a proven track
record in:
❑ Ecosystem restoration;
❑ Applying for and obtaining the permits that will be required for this project;
❑ Working with native landscaping, and soil quality restoration
2. The proposed project team's experience working together on similar projects.
3. The quality of the proposal based on the:
❑ Demonstrated understanding of the City's overall objectives;
❑ Design approach/methodology in completing scope of service;
❑ Level of interest;
❑ Knowledge of the project site;
❑ Proposed schedule;
❑ Creativity and problem solving ability;
❑ Ability to demonstrate initiative and motivation; and
❑ Local economic impact.
CONSULTANT SHORT-LIST EVALUATION CRITERIA
A selection committee may or may not interview short-listed firms. If interviews are held,
both the original submitted proposal and the results of Consultant interview may be used
to evaluate consultants. In addition to the evaluation criteria listed above, interviews will
be judged on the consultanYs:
❑ Responsiveness and compatibility with the City;
❑ General attitude and ability to communicate;

public officials; and
❑ Proposed fee in relationship to the services offered.
Should the City conduct interviews, they will be conducted in a condensed format in an
effort to save time and costs associated with interview preparations. The format will
consist of two 15 minutes segments. The first segment will be for the consultant to; make
introductions of the team, describe the consultants understanding of the project, and to
discuss the consultants proposed schedule. The second segment of the interview will be
for the committee members to ask questions of the consultant.
The City may also review direct and indirect references of previous work product. The
City may utilize site visits or may request additional material, information, and
presentations from the Proposer(s) submitting the proposals.
SELECTED VENDOR FEE NEGOTIATION PROCESS
Upon the successful completion of Consultant proposal reviews and interviews (if
conducted), the committee shall recommend the selection of a Consultant to the City
Manager. The City Manager may in turn make a recommendation to the City Council. A
finalized scope of work and fee structure shall be directly negotiated with the Firm that is
selected by the Dubuque City Council.
Upon successful negotiation of the final scope of work and fees, the Consultant shall
prepare and submit, to the City, a final Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to reflect the
negotiated contract. The City's WBS form shall be used by the Consultant. Each major
task/scope element of the WBS shall have a defined cost and schedule.
When the final scope has been determined, a design fee has been negotiated, and the
WBS has been finalized, the consultant shall incorporate the WBS into the contract
documents being prepared for signature. The Consultant shall also include, in the final
contract documents, the language contained in Appendix D - City of Dubuque Contract
Terms and Conditions.
If a contract satisfactory and advantageous to the City can be negotiated at a price
considered fair and reasonable, the award shall be made to that offeror. Otherwise,
negotiations with the offeror ranked first shall be formally terminated and negotiations
commenced with the Consultant ranked second, and so on until a contract can be
negotiated that is acceptable to the City.
