INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the Southwest Arterial - Military Road Reconstruction Project,
lowa DOT Project No. HDP-2100 (664)--71-31.
BACKGROUND
Following the execution of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City
and the State, the City is continuing as the lead agency for the development and
advancement of the Southwest Arterial project; including the completion of the final
engineering design phase, right-of-way property acquisition, utility relocations, and
archaeological and cultural resource phase III mitigation work.
Additionally, per the conditions outlined in the MOU, the City is responsible for completing
several side road construction projects which include the North Cascade Road
reconstruction (completed), the English Mill Road reconstruction (completed), and the
reconstruction of Military Road (now completed).
The first phase of construction, the North Cascade Road project was completed in
November of 2013. The project provided for the reconstruction (grading, paving & bridge)
and realignment of North Cascade Road which will allow the Southwest Arterial to travel
under the new North Cascade Road Bridge. Final project cost was approximately $3.7
Million.
The completion of the English Mill Road reconstruction project was the second side-road
reconstruction project administered by the City which was completed in November of 2017.
The project provided for the reconstruction (grading, bridge and paving) and realignment of
English Mill Road which will allow the Southwest Arterial to travel under the new English
Mill Road Bridge. Final project cost was approximately $3.9 Million.
DISCUSSION
The Military Road Reconstruction Project was completed by Hoffman Construction
Company, of Black River Falls, WI in the final contract amount of $4,965,948.91 which is a
5.2% decrease from the original contract amount of $5,236,760.95.
The Military Road reconstruction project was the third and final side-road reconstruction
project administered by the City as part of the Southwest Arterial project. The project
provided for the reconstruction (grading, bridge and paving) of Military Road.
The reconstructed segment of Military Road had a new bridge constructed which will allow
the future Southwest Arterial to cross under Military Road. The new bridge is a 3-span, 272
ft. x 44 ft. pre-tensioned, pre-stressed concrete beam bridge include; 24-foot roadway; 5-
foot paved shoulders; and a 10-foot wide separated sidewalk that would accommodate
bicycle and pedestrian use. The new bridge also includes architectural enhancement
treatments that include native Dubuque limestone textured piers, pier caps, abutment walls
and barrier rails. The bridge also has architectural piers that extend above the bridge deck,
along with future decorative LED roadway lighting and decorative bridge railing.

I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the final
payment of the contract amount of $4,965,948.91 to Hoffman Construction Company for
