SUBJECT: Proceedings for Public Hearing on the Issuance of Not to Exceed
$4,900,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan
Fund Program), Series 2018C for Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer
Reconstruction
DATE: October 29, 2018
Budget Director Jennifer Larson is recommending City Council approval of the
suggested proceedings for the public hearing on the issuance of not to exceed
$4,900,000 in Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Fund
Program), Series 2018C, the proceeds of which will be used to pay costs for Kerper
Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction and the Eagle Point Park Environmental
Restoration Sponsorship project.
The Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer has an estimated SRF loan amount of$4.4 million
and the Eagle Point Park Environmental Restoration Sponsorship project would be 10%
of the Kerper Sanitary Sewer loan amount or $440,000.
In 2009, legislation was passed in lowa that allows water utilities that issue debt through
the CWSRF Program to sponsor and help finance other water quality improvement
projects within or outside its service limits. This funding mechanism, called Water
Resource Restoration Sponsored Projects, provides cities, counties, local watershed
organizations, watershed management authorities, county conservation boards, and soil
and water conservation districts a funding source to construct improvements throughout
a watershed that keep sediment, nutrients, chemicals and other pollutants out of
streams and lakes.
Repayment of a standard Clean Water SRF (CWSRF) loan includes the repayment of
the original loan amount, the principal, and the cost to finance the loan, interest and
fees. On a CWSRF loan with a sponsored project, the financing costs are reduced by
the amount of the cost of the sponsored project improvements. Figure 1 shows a
comparison between a standard CWSRF loan and a CWSRF loan with a sponsorship
project. As shown, the total cost to the utility (the total of loan repayments) remains
unchanged as the cost of funding for the sponsorship project is offset by a reduction in
loan financing costs. Two water quality projects are completed for the price of one.

with a sponsorship project.
The City of Dubuque was awarded the Clean Water SRF Sponsorship Project award for
the Eagle Point Park Environmental Restoration Management Plan in 2018. The financing
cost on the Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction are reduced by the amount
of the cost of the sponsorship improvements; in this case, $440,000 for the Eagle Point
Park Environmental Restoration Project.
The borrowing is subject to the "reverse referendum" procedures, under which petitions
may be filed prior to the hearing asking that the bond proposal be submitted to an
election. To qualify, a petition must be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten
percent of the number who voted at the last regular municipal election (but not less than
ten persons). The proceedings have been prepared on the basis that no objections or
petitions calling for an election on the bond proposal will be filed with the City Clerk. If
there are objections, we will need to summarize them. The Mayor will then declare the
hearing on the issuance of said bonds closed. Immediately following, and assuming no
petitions have been filed, a resolution is to be introduced and adopted entitled
"Resolution Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional Action for the Authorization of a
Loan and Disbursement Agreement and the Issuance of Not to Exceed $4,900,000
Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes."
2
In the event the Council decides to abandon the proposal to issue said bonds, then the
form of resolution included in said proceeding should not be adopted. In this event, a
motion needs to be adopted to the effect that such bond proposal is abandoned.
Section 384.83 of the Code of lowa provides that any resident or property owner of the
City may appeal the decision to take additional action to issue the bonds, to the District
Court of a county in which any part of the City is located, within 15 days after such
additional action is taken, but that the additional action is final and conclusive unless the
court finds that the Council exceeded its authority.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Proceedings for Public Hearing on the Issuance of Not to Exceed
$4,900,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Fund
Program), Series 2018C for Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer
Reconstruction
DATE: October 29, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the suggested proceedings for the public
hearing on the issuance of a not to exceed $4,900,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan
Notes. A letter from attorney Kristin Cooper detailing information on the public hearing is
enclosed.
BACKGROUND
Approximately 2,400 feet of 18-inch diameter ductile iron sanitary sewer of the Kerper
Boulevard sanitary sewer collection system is at risk between Fengler Street and East 16t"
Street. Additionally, approximately 1,800 feet of 18-inch diameter vitrified clay sanitary
sewer along East 16t" Street is distressed and in need of replacement to eliminate I&I
issues due to settlements. Additionally, the 18-inch vitrified clay pipe is under sized to
serve the current level of development. The 18-inch ductile iron pipe, along Kerper
Boulevard, was installed in 1994 and the 18-inch vitrified clay pipe, along East 16t" Street,
was installed in 1957.
The reason for the premature failure of the ductile iron pipe is unclear, however, following
several attempts to clean, televise, and repair the sewer it was discovered that the pipe
wall thickness is severely compromised. Further, the existing manholes show signs of
sulfuric acid attack and the section of pipe removed during the repair made in August of
2015 showed signs of extensive corrosion. Many reasons are known as to how hydrogen
sulfide can develop in a system such as low pH in the wastewater and reduced velocity or
increased retention time of wastewater in the collection system.
Engineering staff have identified several different issues with the Kerper Blvd. sanitary
sewer and investigated different options replacement of the sewer. Staff selected one of
the options and issued the design for bidding in May of 2017. The estimated construction
cost of the project was $3,762,675.00. Two Bids were received on June 8, 2017, for the
Kerper Blvd, Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction project. Portzen Construction, Inc and
Tschiggfrie Excavating Co. each submitted a bid. Both bids were substantially over the
estimated construction cost and the bids were rejected.
In June 2017, the City held a public hearing on the issuance of not to exceed $3.6 million
State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) Sewer Utility Revenue Capital Loan Notes.
In 2018, the City was awarded a $320,000 State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) Sponsorship
Project for the Eagle Point Park Environmental Restoration Project as part of the Kerper
Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction Project SRF loan. Repayment of a standard
Clean Water SRF loan includes the repayment of the original loan amount, the principal,
and the cost to finance the loan, interest and fees. On a Clean Water SRF loan with a
sponsorship project, the financing costs are reduced by the amount of the cost of the
sponsorship project improvements.
DISCUSSION
Engineering staff re-evaluated the design for cost saving measures and developed three
additional design alternatives for consideration. The selected alternative is for full
replacement of the failed gravity sewer system, on Kerper Boulevard, with a combination
of a force main and gravity system. The new alignment will start at an existing manhole,
connected to a 24-inch diameter sanitary sewer with sufficient capacity to accept flows
from the Kerper Boulevard service area. Approximately 2/3 of the project will be able to be
constructed within public right-of-way, the remaining 1/3 will be constructed on easements
across private property.
The selected alternative reduces estimated construction costs and impact to businesses
and traffic along E. 16th Street, near Kerper Blvd. This was achieved by modifying the
previous alignment and utilizing a single lift station and force main. The modified
alignment is located along the U.S. Highway 151/61 corridor, between E. 16th Street and
Kerper Blvd. The single lift station allows for a much shallower pipe installation and avoids
the need for dewatering and specialized trench shoring for that portion of the project. This
alignment modification also eliminated the majority of pavement replacement costs on E.
16th Street and at the intersection with Kerper Blvd. This change in alignment also avoids
the need to close the U.S. Highway 151/61 ramps, at Kerper Blvd., and virtually eliminates
the access impact to businesses along E. 16th Street.
Additionally, the new project scope eliminates the costs associated with the replacement
of the 1950's era sanitary sewer along East 16th Street. Currently the existing sewer is
undersized for the area that it serves. The modified alignment eliminates the Kerper Blvd.
sanitary sewer flow from entering the existing undersized sanitary sewer on E. 16th Street.
The elimination of the Kerper sanitary sewer flow, from the E. 16th Street sanitary sewer,
also has the potential to reduce future sewer replacement costs. The existing sewer, on E.
16th Street, could be replaced with a smaller diameter pipe and at a reduced depth.
In late July 2018, Engineering staff revised the previously submitted and approved facility
plan to reflect the revised concept. The estimated cost of $3.8 million, for the revised
concept, was also included as part of the amended facility plan. The lowa Department of
Natural Resources (IDNR) have reviewed and approved the amended facility plan so that
the City can apply for an SRF loan to cover construction and contingency cost.
Engineering and design will be paid by the sanitary construction fund.
The final design was completed the week of October 1 , 2018, along with a construction
cost estimate based on the completed design. The final design construction cost estimate,
of $4.3 million, is $508,613 more than what was submitted with the facility plan, in July
2018, and $1 .1 million more than the previously approved Intended Use Plan (IUP)
submitted for the State Revolving Loan Fund.
The plans, specifications, revised estimate and an amended IUP application were
submitted, to IDNR, for approval and construction permitting on October 4, 2018.
The Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer has an estimated SRF loan amount of $4.4 million
and the Eagle Point Park Environmental Restoration Sponsorship project would be 10°k of
the Kerper Sanitary Sewer loan amount or $440,000.
It is necessary to hold an additional public hearing on the issuance of the SRF loan for the
Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer because the revised issuance amount of not to exceed
$4.9 million is greater than the not to exceed amount previously approved by City Council
($3.6 million) in June 2017.
The borrowing is subject to the "reverse referendum" procedures, under which petitions
may be filed prior to the hearing asking that the bond proposal be submitted to an election.
To qualify, a petition must be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten percent of the
number who voted at the last regular municipal election (but not less than ten persons).
The proceedings have been prepared on the basis that no objections or petitions calling
for an election on the bond proposal will be filed with the City Clerk. If there are objections,
we will need to summarize them. The Mayor will then declare the hearing on the issuance
of said bonds closed. Immediately following, and assuming no petitions have been filed, a
resolution is to be introduced and adopted entitled "Resolution Instituting Proceedings to
Take Additional Action for the Authorization of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement and
the Issuance of Not to Exceed $4,900,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes."
In the event the Council decides to abandon the proposal to issue said bonds, then the
form of resolution included in said proceeding should not be adopted. In this event, a
motion needs to be adopted to the effect that such bond proposal is abandoned.
Section 384.83 of the Code of lowa provides that any resident or property owner of the
City may appeal the decision to take additional action to issue the bonds, to the District
Court of a county in which any part of the City is located, within 15 days after such
additional action is taken, but that the additional action is final and conclusive unless the
court finds that the Council exceeded its authority.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully recommend the adoption of the enclosed resolution instituting the
proceedings to take additional action on the proposed issuance not to exceed $4.9 million
in Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Fund Program) for the
Kerper Boulevard Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction project ($4.4 million) and the Eagle Point
Park Environmental Restoration Sponsorship Program ($440,000).

RE: Not To Exceed $4,900,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State of
Iowa Revolving Fund Loan) (Kerper Project)
Dear Jenny:
The public hearing proceedings scheduled for November 5, 2018 for the above
referenced matter are enclosed. The proceedings are prepared to show as a first step the receipt
of any oral or written objections from any resident or property owner to the proposed action of
the City Council to authorize the form of Loan and Disbursement Ab eement and issue the Notes
to the Authority. A summary of objections received or made, if any, should be attached to the
proceedings. After all objections have been received and considered if the City Council decides
to enter into the Agreement and issue the Notes, a form of resolution follows that should be
introduced and adopted, entitled "Resolution Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional Action."
Section 384.83 of the Code of Iowa provides that any resident or property owner of the
City may appeal the decision to take additional action to the District Court of a county in which
any part of the City is located, within 15 days after such additional action is taken, but that the
additional action is final and conclusive unless the court finds that the City Council exceeded its
authority.
In the event an appeal is filed by any resident or property owner, please see that we are
notified immediately; and, as soon as available, a copy of the notice of appeal should be
furnished to our office for review.
In the event the City Council decides to abandon the proposal then the form of resolution
included in said proceedings should not be adopted. We would suggest that, in this event, a
motion merely be adopted to the effect that such proposal is abandoned.
The Resolution taking additional action also acknowledges and approves of the terms of
the SRF loan program. As you know, the terms of the loan being offered to the City are
WISHARD $ BAILY - 1888; GUERNSEY $i BAILY - 1893; BAILY & STIPP - 1901; STIPP, PERRV, BANNISTER & STARZINGER - 1914; BANNISTER. CARPENTER,
AHLERS & COONEY - 1950; AHLERS, COONEV, DORWEILER, ALLBEE, HAVNIE Si SMITH - 1974; AHLERS, COONEY, DORWEILER. HAYNIE, SMITH Si ALLBEE, P.C. - 1990

established primarily by reference to two external sources: the Authority's administrative rules
governing the SRF Program and, to a lesser extent, by the terms of the bonds issued by the
Authority to fund the City's loan. These loan terms are not negotiable by individual borrowers,
and the City's decision to participate in the SRF Program effectively commits it to accept a loan
on the stated terms.
Also enclosed in an extra copy of the proceedings to be filled in as the original and
certified back to this office. If you have any questions pertaining to the proceedings enclosed or
this letter, please do not hesitate to either write or call.
Very truly yours,
Ahlers & Cooney, P.C.
