City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends City Council approval of the plans,
specifications, form of contract and estimated cost in the amount of$7,529,802 for the

RE: 22nd Street/Kaufmann Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project
(White Street to Kleine Street)
CIP# 2642769, PROJECT# 1X0006
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution in in reference to the public hearing 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 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 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 or$23,3G9,6u0.0� in i;ommunity Gevelopr7�er�t Block 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 22"d 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 22nd
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.
Due to the bids received for the Upper Bee Branch Creek Railroad Culverts Project, this
project will be bid with a bid alternate. The base bid of the project will be from White
Street to near Frances Street. The add alternate would take construction to Kleine
Street.
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: htt s:llwww.cit afdubu ue.or 1�82�122nd-St-Kaufmann-Av�-Pro�ect . This
is on the Bee Branch Flood Mitigation area of the City's website. Engineering staff has
2
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.
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.

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.
