RE: 22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project
(White Street to Kleine Street)
CIP# 2642769, PROJECT# 1X0006
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolutions authorize the initiation of the public bidding procedure for the
22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project (White Street to
Kleine Street).
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
$23.1 million for storm water infrastructure improvements associated with the Bee
Branch Watershed Flood Mitic�ation 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 the street right-of-way corridor.
3. 17t" Street/W. Locust Street Storm Sewer Improvements involving the installation
of large diameter pipe from the Lower Bee Branch Creek through the Canadian
Pacific Railway tracks to 17t" Street then to the west along 17t" 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 the street right-of-way corridor.
In October of 2016, the City Council passed Resolution 362-16 authorizing the
execution of the funding contract with the lowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA)
for the City's receipt of$23,309,600.UU in C;ommunity Development Biock Grant
Program Disaster Recovery - National Disaster Resiliency funds for the Bee Branch
Watershed Flood Mitigation Project.
DISCUSSION
The 22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project (White Street to
Kleine Street) is one phase of the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project. The
project involves the replacement of the existing storm sewer with a large diameter storm
sewer and additional storm drains (intakes) along 22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue from
White Street to Kleine Street. Improvements will continue up Kaufmann Avenue to Kane
Street in a future phase. This work will require the relocation and reconstruction of
existing underground utilities to provide the necessary space for the larger storm sewer.
It will also require the complete removal and subsequent reconstruction of the street.
The improvements will be constructed in multiple traffic control phases to accommodate
residents and businesses. Phase I involves the construction of improvements on 22�d
Street from White Street to Francis Street. Phase II improvements include construction
from Francis Street to North Main Street. Phase III improvements include construction
from North Main Street to west of Kleine Street. Improvements include the installation of
approximately 1200 linear feet of 10-foot by 6-foot concrete box culvert (either cast-in
place or precast) with cast in place connections on both the west and east ends of the
project. The project also includes local storm sewer and intakes, roadway reconstruction
with HMA pavement, PCC driveway, sidewalk, and curb ramp reconstruction, PCC wall,
railing, and step construction, water main replacement, sanitary sewer replacement,
temporary storm water management, dewatering, mobilization, electrical conduits, fiber
vaults, traffic signal replacement, miscellaneous restoration, erosion control, and traffic
control.
Additional phases will continue along Kaufmann Avenue to Kane Street if funding
allows. These additional phases of construction will occur in 2020.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
The Engineering staff has held multiple public information meetings for this project.
These were held on August 22, 2017, July 25, 2018, November 5, 2018 at Comiskey
Park. Several letters were sent to property owners and residents in the affected
properties on the project before the public meeting and since. See attached public
outreach letter as an example. Engineering staff is also meeting with property owners
and tenants individually onsite to answer questions about the project. A project website
is located at: https:lJwww.cityafdubuque.arp1182�122nd-St-Kauf�7iann-Ave-Project . This
is on the Bee Branch Flood Mitigation area of the City's website. Engineering staff has
also met with Greater Dubuque Development Corp. to coordinate outreach to
businesses in the area. A newsletter that is sent to all Bee Branch residents (13,000
property owners) also describes the project and schedule.

I
i
There will be a need to acquire temporary construction easements and right of way for
some properties. These easements and right of way will be acquired prior to
construction. Property rights letters and related temporary easement/right of way
documentation have been mailed out to property owners. The City will follow the
procedures outlined with the lowa DOT in acquiring temporary construction easements
and right of way.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The schedule for this Phase was developed in coordination with the owners of the
properties immediately north and south of 22�d Street/Kaufmann Avenue from White
Street to Kleine Street.
The schedule for the Project is as follows:
Initiate Public Bidding Process January 22, 2019
Publish Notice to Bidders, Advertise for Bids January 23, 2019
Publish Public Hearing Notice on Plans & Specs February 1, 2019
Public Hearing on Plans & Specifications February 18, 2019
Receipt of Bids (Bid Letting) February 22, 2019
Award Construction Contract March 4, 2019
Final Project Completion November 30, 2019
Subsequent phases if funding is available will follow in 2020. As noted, all of the
improvements for all phases must be complete by June 30, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend preliminary approval of the proposed plans, specifications, form of
contract, and construction estimate for the 22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm Sewer
Improvements Project (White Street to Kleine Street). I further recommend establishing
the date of a public hearing and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the
Project.
BUDGET IMPACT
The preliminary estimate of probable costs for the 22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm
Sewer Improvements Project (White Street to Kleine Street) is as follows:
Construction $ 5,870,835.00
Property $10,000.00
Easements/ROW
Contingency (5%) 293,542.00
Engineering 1,355,425.00
Total Project Cost 7s�29,$p2.Q0

The funding summary is as follows:
CIP & PROJECT Fund Description Fund Amount
264-2769 HUD NDR CDBG Grant $2,968,124.00
1X0006 (HUD)
3402769 State Sales Tax Increment $4,213,136.00
1 X0003
7202769 Stormwater Utility $293,542.00
7202769 Housing TIF (LMI) $35,000.00
7401405 Watermain Replacements $20,000.00
TOTAL $7,529,802.00
The funding summary above includes lead service line replacement in conjunction with
the Water Department. Engineering staff will be coordinating inspections of the
properties to verify if the services are lead or copper. Property owners will be given the
option to be voluntarily assessed through the project to replace lead lines. Financial
assistance will be made available through Community Development Block Grant funds if
the resident in the building meets low/moderate income guidelines. Those that do not
meet income guidelines will be given the option to be voluntarily assessed for the
replacement of the lead water service.
The watermain replacement is to extend a section of watermain on Kleine Street that is
not HUD eligible. This extension allows for the watermains to be looped to better serve
residents on Klingenberg Terrace and Lowell Street.
The improvements will be funded using the $23.1 million in Community Development
Block Grant Program Disaster Recovery - National Disaster Resiliency funds for the
Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request adoption of the attached resolutions preliminarily approving the
proposed plans, specifications, form of contract, and construction estimate; establishing
the date of the public hearing; and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the
22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project (White Street to
Kleine Street).

Dear Resident,
You have received this letter because you are a resident or owner of a home or property on Kaufmann Ave. between
Central Ave. and Kane Street. Phase 2 of the 22"d St./Kaufmann Ave. Storm Sewer Capacity Improvement
Project is scheduled to begin in early 2019. The improvements are being made as part of the Bee Branch
Watershed Flood Mitigation Project, a multi-phased project to mitigate flash flooding, improve water quality, stimulate
investment, and improve quality of life within the Bee Branch Watershed.
The project consists of a new concrete box culvert, high-capacity storm drains, the relocation of underground utilities,
and total street and sidewalk reconstruction. Please note, property owners will not be assessed for the improvements.
You're invited to attend an open house information meeting from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Comiskey Park Building
on Wednesday, June 20, to learn more about this project. The design plans have progressed significantly since the
last open house in August 2017. We now know more clearly the potential impacts to each property including street
and sidewalk widths, driveway steepness, parking restrictions, lead service line replacement options, temporary
construction easements, the anticipated construction schedule, and property access during construction. We will
discuss all these topics one-on-one with property owners and residents at the meeting.
The meeting also provides an opportunity for you to share information. We will work with residents to accommodate
access to properties and parking as much as possible during the project. The more we know now the better we can
plan. If your schedule allows, please join us on June 20. If you are unable to attend, we invite you to call us at
