Request for Proposal
Masterpiece on the Mississippi
The City of Dubuque, Iowa is soliciting competitive sealed proposals from qualified
professional consulting firms to complete a traffic study of 9 Street and 11 Street for the
City of Dubuque. The purpose of the traffic study is to evaluate the potential for converting
9 Street between Locust Street and Kerper Blvd. from one -way to two -way traffic and
converting 11 Street from one -way to two -way traffic between Central Avenue and Kerper
Blvd. Additionally, 10 Street would be studied to convert to two -way operation between Bluff
and Elm Streets.
It is anticipated that the timeframe for the project will be approximately two months following
the signing of a professional services agreement. The selected Consultant will be expected
to complete the contracted scope of work within the specified timeframe, under the general
direction and coordination of the City's Engineering Department as authorized by the City
Council.
In the Historic Millwork District Masterplan it was identified that 9 Street and 11 Street
should be converted to two -way traffic to facilitate interaction with the Millwork District. The
two streets are currently one -way pairs that are partially under IDOT jurisdiction for US 52
traffic and provide access to US 61/151. The City of Dubuque is seeking a qualified
Consultant to study traffic flow on these streets and identify corridor improvements or
modifications needed; potential impacts to access to US 61/151; and provide a capital
improvement plan for roadway improvements in the vicinity of the Historic Millwork District.
3.0 COMMUNITY BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque is located on the Mississippi River in northeastern Iowa, adjacent to
Illinois and Wisconsin. The City is approximately 30 square miles in area, with a population of
approximately 60,000 people. The City's annual operating and capital budget is nearly $116
million and funds a full range of services. The City's web site is www.cityofdubuque.orq.
The community has a stable and diversified manufacturing base and a growing service
sector. Dubuque is the major retail, medical, education and employment center for the tri-
state area. Tourism continues to be a major economic force in the community. City
government works in collaboration with the private sector to promote economic development.
The job creation and unemployment numbers show that Dubuque is growing steadily in the

4.4 - Transportation Planning Analysis
4.4.1 Travel Demand Model Review
Review existing base year and 2031 TransCAD files to determine big picture
issues /concerns /questions with the model coding. Coordinate with DMATS to identify
modifications to the model. Anticipated model refinements include coding study corridors and
cross streets of interest into the model. Utilizing the TransCAD travel demand model, the
consultant will make the necessary modifications as directed by DMATS.
4.4.2 Corridor Improvement Scenario Comparison
Run up to 10 corridor improvement scenarios (including a base year and future 2031 No build
scenario) for the study area with TransCAD. Prepare graphical representation of the volume
to capacity ratios and volume differences (compared to 2031 No Build) for study corridors
using raw daily volume projections based on the specified corridor improvements. The
consultant will coordinate with the City to determine the capacity improvements to consider
for each scenario.
In coordination with the City and the Iowa DOT, determine a single preferred corridor
improvement scenario (2031 Build). This scenario will be utilized to develop the future
projections (Task 4.5.1 and 4.5.2), perform capacity analysis (Task 4.6), and to develop
concepts (Task 4). Potential corridor improvement scenarios include:
1. Base Year No Build (one -way operations of the study corridors)
2. 2031 No Build (one -way operations of the study corridors)
3. 2031 Convert 9th and 11th Streets to two -way operation

6. 2031 Convert 9th and 11th Streets to two -way operation, realign EIm Street and
add Pine Street east of EIm Street between 9th and 11th Streets
7. 2031 Convert 9th, 10th and 11th Streets to two -way operation, remove Kerper
Boulevard between 9th and 11th Streets, convert frontage road east of US
61/161 to two -way operation, realign EIm Street and add Pine Street east of
EIm Street between 9th and 11th Streets
4.5 — Volume Development
4.5.1 Daily Volume Projections
The consultant will develop 2031 No Build and Build daily volume projections utilizing the
TransCAD travel demand model for the study intersections. The 2031 No Build scenario will
assume one -way operations for the study corridors. The 2031 Build scenario utilized for this
task will be identified in Task 4.4.2. The 2031 No Build and Build raw assignments from the
TransCAD travel demand model will be post - processed using base year count and
assignment deviations. A figure will be developed comparing raw and post - processed ADTs
for existing, 2031 No Build and 2031 Build. The figure will be utilized for DMATS's review of
the ADTs.
4.5.2 Peak Hour Volume Development
Develop existing AM and PM peak hour turning movement volumes for the study
intersections and develop turning movement figures summarizing volume data. Raw peak
hour turning movement volume data will be provided by the City (up to six turning movement
counts will be conducted during the site visit) and will be balanced between intersections
where appropriate. Existing peak hour percentage factors (K- factors) and directional factors
(D- factors) will be calculated.
Develop year 2031 No Build and Build AM and PM peak hour turning movement volumes for
the study intersections and develop turning movement figures summarizing volume data.
Kfactors and D- factors calculated for existing conditions will be utilized to estimate future
peak hour directional volumes. It should be noted that volumes will be balanced between
intersections where appropriate.
4.6 - Traffic Capacity Analysis
4.6.1 Existing Condition Analysis
Analyze existing AM and PM peak hour traffic operations of the study area intersections with
Synchro 7.0. Scope includes compiling and summarizing the approach and intersection level
of service.
4.6.2 Future Conditions Analysis
Analyze future No Build and Build 2031 AM and PM peak hour traffic operations of the study
Page 8 of 34
area intersections with Synchro 7.0. Scope includes compiling and summarizing the
approach and intersection level of service.
4.7 — Conceptual Development of Selected Improvements
4.7.1 Concept Layout
Develop conceptual layouts for one corridor improvement scenario (Build 2031) identified in
Task 4.4.2. Scope assumes layouts will be developed for:
• 11th Street from Central Avenue to Kerper Boulevard
• 10th Street from Bluff Street to Elm Street
• 9th Street from Bluff Street to Kerper Boulevard
The layouts will be developed assuming vacation of Kerper Boulevard, two -way conversion of
the frontage road east of US 61/151 and realignment of Elm Street and construction of Pine
Street. Relocation of the US 61/151 northbound exit ramp to 11th Street will be investigated
due to the close intersection spacing with Elm Street.
Along 9th, 10th and 11th Streets initial turning templates will be developed for the cross
streets based on the design vehicle for the study area (identified by the City). This analysis
will be used to determine the impact of the conversion to the existing curb returns and
potential right of way and parking impacts.
Given this is a feasibility study, concepts will be very preliminary. Concepts will reflect one
option to meet the capacity and typical section improvements required.
Color filled shapes will be utilized to show proposed pavement widening. Concept
development will be "planning level" and based on horizontal layout only. Aerial photo based
plan view figures (Scale: 1 " =100') will be developed for the project study area to show the
2031 proposed improvements. Ball park planning level right of way impacts will be based on
a set distance from edge of pavement (to be provided by the City). Typical cross section
requirements and design criteria will be provided by the City.
4.8 — Cost Estimates
Provide conceptual planning level construction cost estimate that includes ball park right of
way acquisition costs for all of the potential improvements identified in the previous task. For
partial acquisitions, scope assumes the right of way costs will be based on a per square -foot
unit cost (to be provided by the City).
4.7 — Report
4.7.1 Document the traffic study in a draft report. Documentation shall include a summary of
study procedures, findings and recommendations. Exhibits shall be included that
detail recommended roadway improvements, cost estimates, operational results, and
traffic simulation results. Develop and produce exhibits detailing the recommended
improvements for use in the report documentation and for presentation to the public.
A draft report will be submitted to the City for review and comments.
Page 9 of 34
4.7.2 Prepare final report addressing comments and directives provided by the City Council.
Provide a sequenced Capitol Improvement Plan based on the results of the study and
the directives of the City.
4.8 — Project Coordination
4.8.1 Coordination with City Staff
The consultant will participate in a minimum of two coordination meetings with the City of
Dubuque to review long range land use plans, planned and programmed roadway
improvements, and to assist in identifying corridors to be studied and potential improvements
to be considered. The first meeting would occur after the modeling effort was complete to
present the findings of the corridor improvement scenario comparison (Task 2.2). The two
technical meetings are proposed as follows:
• Technical Coordination Meeting 1 — Review findings of the corridor improvement
scenario comparison. (Include Iowa DOT staff)
• Technical Coordination Meeting 2 — Review capacity analysis results and proposed
improvements.
The consultant would also be required to participate in up to three conference calls.
4.8.2 — City Council Work Session
One work session with the City Council will be included with this study to present the findings
and recommendations.
4.8.3 — Miscellaneous Coordination
Coordinate with the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) with respect to the
impact of the 9th and 11th Streets conversion on the US 61/151 interchange. Coordinate with
emergency services and transit to identify existing routes and any potential concerns or
issues with the proposed one -way to two -way conversions of 9th, 10th and 11th
Streets.

SELECTED CONSULTANT - FEE NEGOTIATION PROCESS
Upon the completion of the evaluation of the proposals, the RFP Selection Committee will
recommend to the City Manager or City Council, the awarding of a contract to the highest
ranked Consultant. The Selection Committee will also request authority to negotiate with the
recommended Consultant a final scope of work and fee structure for the project.
After authority is granted to negotiate an agreement and execute a contract with a
Consultant, the Consultant shall prepare an industry standard Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS) to reflect the Firm's approach to the completion of the project. The WBS, at a
minimum, should include work tasks for each of the components outlined in the RFP, a
separate line item for each deliverable, and list project management as a separate task. No
individual task on the WBS shall have a total value exceeding $10,000. The Consultant shall
indicate in the WBS the work tasks that will be completed by City staff.
The format of the WBS shall summarize the fixed fee for each task listed, plus individually list
in separate section any associated reimbursable expenses that would specifically relate to
this project. A sample format of a WBS can be obtained from the City if desired.
Once the selected Consultant has prepared the WBS, the City and the Consultant will meet
and the final scope of work for the project will be negotiated by joint revision to the WBS in
order to best meet the goals of the project while considering available funding. During the
negotiation process, tasks to be completed by City staff, work reassignment to different
project team members, and the addition or elimination of tasks may be modified on the WBS
in order to achieve the best overall results for project.
Page 18 of 34
The selected Consultant shall be responsible for updating the WBS to reflect any changes
that were agreed to during negotiations. After the final scope of services has been
determined, a design fee has been negotiated, and the WBS has been finalized, the
Consultant shall incorporate the WBS into the contract documents being prepared for
signature.
If a contract satisfactory and advantageous to the City can be negotiated at a price
considered fair and reasonable, the award shall be made to that offerer. Otherwise,
negotiations with the offerer ranked first shall be formally terminated and negotiations
commenced with the Consultant ranked second, and so on until a contract can be negotiated
that is acceptable to the City.
Upon the successful completion of contract negotiations, the selection committee shall
recommend that the City Manager execute a contract with the successful Consultant. The
City Manager will in turn make a decision to execute the contract or request the Dubuque City
Council make a final determination to award and execute the contract with a Consultant.
Payment for Work: The Consultant awarded the contract shall be paid once monthly. The
invoiced amount shall be based on the Earned Value of the percent work completed as
reported on the most recently updated and submitted WBS.
