The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
16th & Kerper Peosta Channel Bridge Fiber Collaboration Project.
BACKGROUND
The 16th & Kerper Peosta Channel Bridge Fiber Collaboration Project is a collaborative
effort with Alliant Energy and the City of Dubuque. This collaborative effort involves
multiple departments of the City working with Dave Lyons of Greater Dubuque
Development Corporation to coordinate with Alliant Energy installing fiber assets. This
reduces costs for Alliant Energy and the City since the work is done jointly.
This project is one phase of a multi -phase effort that allows Alliant Energy to connect its
assets between Madison, WI and Cedar Rapids, IA.
DISCUSSION
The project consisted of the directional boring and trenching 900 linear feet of a joint
package of fiber duct along E. 16t" Street from Kerper Blvd. to the east side of the Peosta
Channel Bridge. A joint package duct is when the contractor bores all the conduit in one
bore. This particular fiber construction included a fiber package of 7-way Futurepath and
(2) 2" for the City and (2) 1.25" for Alliant. Within the bridge, was a (1) 4" that was
populated with (1) 1.25" for Alliant and (7) 16/13mm microduct for the City.
The 16th & Kerper Peosta Channel Bridge Fiber Collaboration Project was completed by
McDermott Excavating of Dubuque, Iowa in the final contract amount of $90,823.13 which
is a 3.7% increase from the original contract amount of $87,465.88. The added costs
incurred were a result of additional removal and replacement of concrete. Since this is a
collaborative effort, the cost is split between the City of Dubuque and Alliant Energy.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the payment
of the contract amount of $90,823.13 to McDermott Excavating for the 16th & Kerper
Peosta Channel Bridge Fiber Collaboration Project.
