RE: Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project, HUD National Disaster
Resilience Grant, Infrastructure Contract#13-NDRI-011, Status of Funded
Activities
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to set a public hearing on the status of funded
activities associated with the infrastructure improvements associated with the Bee
Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project funded in part by the $23.3 million in HUD
National Disaster Resilience Grant specifically for infrastructure. A public hearing is
required per the funding contract (Contract #13-NDRI-011) with the lowa Economic
Development Authority.
BACKGROUND
In January 2016, the State was awarded $95.7 million in HUD National Disaster
Resiliency Competition grant funds. Per the award, the City of Dubuque is to receive
$8.4 million for a comprehensive "Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program" to
help residents address residual impacts from the flooding experienced within the Bee
Branch Watershed. The City is also to receive $23.3 million for storm water
infrastructure improvements associated with the Bee Branch Watershed Flood
Mitigation Project. The infrastructure improvements are as follows:
1 . Bee Branch Railroad Culvert Infrastructure Improvements involving the
installation of culverts from the Lower Bee Branch Creek, through Canadian
Pacific Railway property, to the Upper Bee Branch north of Garfield Avenue;
2. 22nd Street/Kaufmann Ave Storm Sewer Improvements involving the installation
of a large diameter storm sewer from 22nd & Elm up Kaufmann Avenue to the
Kaufmann & Kane intersection. The work includes inlets and local sewer
connections to the storm sewer and the complete reconstruction of the street
and other underground utilities along street right-of-way corridor.
3. 17th StreeUW. Locust Street Storm Sewer Improvements involving the
installation of a 96-inch diameter pipe from the Lower Bee Branch Creek through
Page 1 of 3
the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks to 17th Street then to the west along 17th
Street and finally west along W. Locust Street towards Angella St. The work
includes inlets and local sewer connections to the storm sewer and the complete
reconstruction of the street and other underground utilities along street right-of-
way corridor.
In October of 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 362-16, authorizing the
execution of a contract (Contract #13-NDRI-011) with the lowa Economic Development
Authority as a requirement for the City's receipt of$23,309,600.00 in CDBG Disaster
Recovery — National Disaster Resiliency funds for the infrastructure improvements
associated with the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project.
DISCUSSION
As a requirement set forth by Section 508 of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1987, local governments receiving funds must hold a public hearing on the status
of a funded activity during the project. This requirement is extended to the City of
Dubuque through the City's contract with the lowa Economic Development Authority
(contract #13-NDRI-011), the funding contract that outlines the City's receipt of$23.3
million in CDBG Disaster Recovery — National Disaster Resiliency funds for the
infrastructure improvements associated with the Bee Branch Watershed Flood
Mitigation Project.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend holding a public hearing on the status of funded activities associated with
the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project infrastructure improvements funded
in part by the $23.3 million in HUD CDGB National Disaster Resilience Grant
specifically for infrastructure per funding contract #13-NDRI-011 .
REQUESTED ACTION
I respectfully request adoption of the attached resolution setting a public hearing on the
status of funded activities associated with the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation
Project infrastructure improvements funded in part by the $23.3 million in HUD CDGB
National Disaster Resilience Grant specifically for infrastructure per funding contract
#13-NDRI-011 .
