Acting Airport Manager Todd Dalsing is recommending the endorsement of the
submission of the Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) grant application to the
Iowa Department of Transportation for the construction of road west from Highway 61 to
access lots in the Dubuque Regional Airport Industrial Park.
The Airport is seeking funding assistance for the cost of improvements to US61 up to
and including the Merlin Lane intersection. For the Airport entrance roadway beyond
Merlin Lane, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will provide 95% of the funding
with a 5% local match. The estimated project cost for the proposed intersection and
entrance roadway to and including the Merlin Lane intersection is approximately
$620,000. The Airport is seeking additional funding sources for these improvements.
The $92,690 funding portion of the project is pending FAA approval.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Subject: Dubuque Regional Airport RISE Grant Application Resolution
The attached resolution is in reference to endorsing the submission of a
Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) Grant Application for the construction
of road west from Highway 61 to access Tots in the Dubuque Regional Airport
industrial park.
The proposed construction of the new Dubuque Regional Airport Terminal
Facility necessitates construction improvements to the existing Merlin Lane and
US61 intersection to provide additional traffic capacity, upgrade geometry,
increase roadway strength and improve safety.
Currently, Merlin Lane is a low volume county road with gravel surfacing. The
planned improvements allocate the intersection priority to the proposed Airport
entrance roadway providing a direct access to the New Terminal Facility. Merlin
Lane will become secondary to the proposed Airport entrance road and would
connect to the proposed entrance road approximately 500 feet northwesterly
from US61.
Preliminary roadway and site grading construction is planned to begin in the
spring of 2011 and is expected to be completed at the end of the 2011
construction season. The US61 and proposed Airport entrance roadway
intersection, grading and paving is expected to occur at the same time.
1 recommend that the City Council approve the endorsement of the submission
of the RISE grant application for the construction of road west from Highway 61
to access lots in the Dubuque Regional Airport industrial park.
