Businesses and the City are truly in this together. Both play important roles in
minimizing any potential negative impacts.
WHAT RESOURCES DOES THE CITY PROVIDE BEFORE AND DURING
ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS?
Mailings
As early as possible, the City will start the process of reaching out to businesses within
the affected area. This typically includes mailings to business owners with information
about the project location, estimated schedule, and contact information.
I � Public Information Meetings
The City often hosts one or more public information meetings to let residents and
.�„ business owners know what to expect during construction. Your concerns, questions,
' and suggestions are very important at this early stage in the planning process. The City
has the greatest flexibility to incorporate changes into the project at this time, before
decisions have been made. Please watch for mailings and attend these initial meetings
to learn more about the project and to provide any input you may have. The City is also
happy to schedule one-on-one meetings with business owners to discuss their specific
needs and/or concerns. To request a meeting, please contact the City's project manager.
Temporary Directional Signs
When normal routes to businesses are not possible due to construction, temporary
signs are placed in the public right-of-way to direct customers around and through the
' construction area. They generally contain your business name and an arrow pointing
motorists toward the projecYs official detour route. The City determines the placement
of the signs. It is important the signs do not obstruct the view of or interfere with official
traffic control devices such as signs and barricades or obstruct the view of drivers.
Street Detour & Construction Alerts
Project-related street closures and detours are normally outlined in the project mailings
and discussed at the public information meetings. However, we also encourage
you to sign up to receive Street Detour and Construction email and/or text alerts. The
notifications will alert you of the street closure and the estimated completion date.
Sign up at www.cityofdubuque.org/notifyme.
CITY RESOURCES, CONTINUED...
P Parking
� The elimination of convenient parking during construction projects may be a
challenge for businesses. The City is open to exploring alternate parking for
businesses that lose parking because of construction. Possibilities could include
allowing parking in empty lots and other areas not in use, or allowing businesses to
validate parking stubs at nearby parking garages.
If you'd like to discuss the possibility of alternate parking for your business, please
contact the City's project manager in the early stages of the project so plans can be
made in advance of construction starting.
Website and Social Media
� The City posts information about all major construction projects on its website:
R www.cityofdubuque.org. We encourage you to visit the website often to stay informed
about the project.
Typically, the website includes a project overview, construction schedule, costs and
funding, status updates, and project contact information. Project information and
updates are also shared on the City's social media sites:
facebook.com/cityofdubuque twitter.com/cityofdubuque
^ Presentations
The City is happy to discuss the project at your business association or other group
� meetings. To request a presentation, please contact the City's project manager.

WHAT CAN BUSINESSES DO TO PROACTIVELY PREPARE FOR A
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT?
Be Informed and Ahead of the Curve
• The City will notify businesses about pending construction. Take note of all
lcommunications from the City and attend all project meetings. This gives you the
opportunity to learn in advance how construction could potentially impact your
business. Also make it a habit to spend 15 minutes once a week checking the
project website where updates and schedule changes are posted.
Communicate Early and Often
. ` Communicate early and often with customers, taking every opportunity to market
your business both before and during construction, whether through emails,
websites, mailers, social media, specials or coupons.
Email to keep clients up-to-date on the construction. Clearly post store hours.
Consider staying open later in the evening after construction crews are finished for
the day. Upload maps that show the latest detours or alternate routes.
Thank your clients for their patience. Offer rewards to customers who are persistent
enough to use detours to visit your store. For example, you may consider creating a
loyalty program tied to a contest or drawing. Do something above and beyond what
you would usually do in your business to attract customers.
Consider Building a Dedicated Cash Reserve
� As soon as you learn upcoming construction will limit customer access, do a cash-
� flow analysis to establish a plan moving forward. That could include the creation of
a dedicated cash reserve to meet fixed operational expenses.
If you rent, you may consider talking with your landlord to see if any concessions or
changes can be made to help you take better care of your cash flow. Inform current
lenders of the upcoming project and see if there are opportunities to restructure
existing debt and lines of credit in light of potentially diminished revenues.
WHAT CAN BUSINESSES D0, CONTINUED...
Put Up Temporary Signage
� Encourage customers to circumvent the construction by erecting corrugated
plastic signs or vinyl banners with large lettering. Make it clear that, despite the
inconvenience, you're still open for business. If you have questions regarding sign
permits for businesses, please call 563.589.4210.
Communicate with Your Suppliers
� If necessary, help your suppliers and their truck drivers identify alternate routes
� to your business. Notify them of any adjustments they may need to make during
deliveries. If you anticipate special accommodations will need to be made in order
to make or receive deliveries, please contact the project manager.
Ask Other Businesses for Help
' ` Request some (free) promotional help from other businesses in your community.
� This could be as simple as having them hand out your business cards, post your
flyers, or share your Facebook page. Tell them you're willing to return the favor if
they are ever impacted by street construction.
Pull Together
/�� Form alliances and pool resources with the other businesses owners impacted by the
�� project. This could include sharing parking or joint marketing efforts. Develop a group
plan for staying in contact with the City, construction project leaders, and customers.
Keep the project manager's contact information close at hand.
The City will provide this information to you ahead of time. If you have any questions,
concerns, or ideas about how the City can improve conditions during the construction
project, please call the City's project manager.

Below is other information you may find helpful such as construction noise
regulations, temporary sign permit requirements, and public transportation.
""""""""``
CONSTRUCTION NOISE AND DUST
City Noise Ordinance for Construction
Noise from construction activities is allowed between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.,
� Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
��
The creation of loud and excessive noise resulting from pile drivers,
pneumatic hammers, power hoists, and other similar equipment is
allowed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Please note, contractors may apply for a temporary noise variance permit.
The variance allows contractors to perform work outside normal hours
construction is permitted in order to reduce the impacts to the health
and/or welfare of the public. Noise variance permits are issued by the
City Health Services Department.
Complaints regarding noise should be directed to the Police Department
at 563.589.4415.
Dust Control Measures During Construction
• ••�''•� The primary contractor is required to use dust control measures during City
'��� construction projects. There are several practices that can be used to reduce or
� prevent dust during construction.
Often, a water tanker is driven on-site spraying water over the affected areas
preventing dust from becoming airborne. Polymers can also be an effective practice.
This method bonds the individual soil particles together and when it dries, it forms
a flexible "crusY' that strengthens the surface of the soil. If needed, street sweeping
equipment will be used to clean debris and dust from paved roadways.
Complaints regarding dust should be directed to the City's project manager.

Jule Bus Advertising Opportunities
. ` As a unique opportunity to market your business both before and during
construction, you may consider interior or exterior bus advertising. The Jule has
interior ad space in all fixed-route buses. Posters must be 11" x 17" landscape or
8.5" x 11" portrait.
The Jule's exterior bus advertising program provides extensive coverage throughout
the entire city, offering exposure to commuters, drivers, and pedestrians. All the
buses are rotated along different routes, so an advertiser is never limited to a
specific area of the community. A variety of ad space options are available, making it
easy to tailor your message to meet your needs.
Collaborative Advertising
You promote The Jule and they'll promote you! The Jule offers a collaborative
marketing program welcoming creative advertising ideas with community partners.
For example, a coffee shop could create a Jule inspired drink and The Jule would
offer one month of free interior bus advertising in return.
Contact The Jule at 563.589.4196 if your organization has a product or service it
would like to advertise or co-promote.
