TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Five -Year Street Construction Program for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2016
DATE: March 1, 2011
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the City Council approval of the Annual Five -Year Street
Construction Program for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2016.
DISCUSSION
The Five -Year Street Construction Program for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2016, which is part of the
Five -Year Capital Improvement Projects, includes the estimated costs for the street
construction work and the anticipated year during which each project will be undertaken. The
Five -Year Street Construction Program is considered annually by the City Council as part of
the budget process.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) provides annual projections on the
amount of Road Use Tax (RUT) Funds the City of Dubuque will receive over the next five
years based on a per capita amount. In FY 2007, the Iowa DOT estimates were revised
causing a decrease in RUT funds from the prior year in the amount of $1,111,696 over five
years. In December 2006, the Iowa DOT impact was increased an additional $92,298 over five
years and in December 2007 the Iowa DOT impact was again increased by $74,992. In
December 2008, the IDOT increased RUTF projections by $1,995,469 due to the new
legislation passed into law in 2008 for higher vehicle registration fees.
Due to the RUT increase projections, the proposed Fiscal Year 2012 — 2016 Street
Construction Program budget has remained relatively consistent, with an increase in the
amount of $461,488 in comparison to the 2011 — 2015 Street Program.
