INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to seek City Council authorization to negotiate a
contract with Neumann Monson for Phase II (Design Engineering) of an Intermodal
Transportation Center.
BACKGROUND
In July 2010, the City Council hired IIW Engineers partnered with Desman Associates to
complete a site selection study and environmental analysis for an Intermodal
Transportation Center (ITC). The vision for the ITC is that it will support transit
connections, rail connections, vehicular parking, electric vehicle charging, bicycle
parking, intercity bus, a passenger waiting area, taxicab stands, public restrooms
(including lockers and showers /changing areas), a ticketing office along with the
potential for retail space, a daycare facility, and possibly commercial office space.
The consultants initially considered 11 potential sites that were quickly narrowed down
to two sites. The final two sites were in the Port of Dubuque and the Historic Millwork
District. IIW met with the selection committee to review the merits of each site.
Both sites still have some unknowns that could possibly create future obstacles.
Nonetheless, there is a need to move forward quickly to take advantage of the current
funding sources. After weighing the pros and cons of each site, the selection committee
unanimously recommended the Historic Millwork District for the Intermodal
Transportation Facility. Some of the major factors weighing in favor of the Historic
Millwork District are as follows:
1) Fills a need for parking in the Millwork District and will more likely create a
facility that can create revenue (parking fees) to make it more self- sufficient.
Intermodal Transportation Center
Page 2
2) Can better provide a downtown transfer site for the Jule and will provide easier
and more reliable access for all buses including RTA and Burlington Trailways.
3) Is consistent with the Historic Millwork District with respect to sustainability,
complete streets, air quality and safety. The current momentum in this district
creates a greater opportunity for potential future funding for the construction of
the facility.
On March 7, 2011, the City Council authorized an RFP to select a consultant who would
further investigate the site unknowns, and to begin the preliminary design for this facility.
The scope of services includes the following:
• Site Analysis
• PreDesign
• Preliminary Programming
• Regulatory Coordination
• Schematic Design
• Design Development
The City received eight proposals in response to this RFP from the following lead firms:

Based on the various aspects related to this unique project, the committee agreed that it
would be extremely important for the consultant's team to have rail expertise since the
proposed Intermodal project will be designed to accommodate passenger rail service.
Other factors evaluated included expertise on transit needs, parking structures and
other special features that the City may desire to have incorporated into the final project.
The local committee narrowed the field to four firms for interviews. These firms were
CDM (Chicago, IL), URS Corporation (Minneapolis, MN), Neumann Monson Architects
(Iowa City) and IIW, PC (Dubuque). Following the interviews, Neumann Monson was
the solid first choice of the committee for the following reasons:
• Demonstrated the ability to understand the City's goals for success of the project.
• Proposed a project team approach that would address all aspects of the project,
with a strong emphasis on rail connection.
• Will allow the City to select a local civil engineer to be part of their team.
• Demonstrated the best professionalism and competence during the interviews.
Neumann Monson Architects has extensive recent experience with parking structures
and multi -modal facilities across Iowa. They are currently working with the cities of
Ames and Coralville on their Intermodal facilities.
Their project team includes Rich & Associates, Design Engineers, and Confluence.
Each of these consultants is renowned in their field of expertise. Their firms have
partnered with each other on numerous occasions and the individuals from each firm
have worked together on countless projects. New to their team is T.Y. Lin, the premier
leader in transportation and infrastructure design, whom was selected because of their
considerable knowledge in rail services.
Rich & Associates located in Southfield, Missouri, is a full service parking consultant
providing customized solutions for every type of parking need. Since 1963 they have
developed innovative parking facilities designed to meet the specific challenges of
private and public owners in the United States. The Company's experience includes the
design of over 2,500 parking structures across the country and overseas, including
more than 15 parking structures throughout the state of Iowa.
T.Y. Lin International (Chicago), is a 28 -year old transportation firm providing
engineering and planning consulting services to both the public and private sectors.
TYLI's major engineering focus has been in the planning, design, and construction
inspection of transportation facilities. This includes civil, structural, environmental,
drainage and construction engineering for a wide variety of railroad, highway, road,
airport, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including bridges and parking lots.
Their rail experience includes recent work as prime design consultant for the Metra
153 Street Station and Parking Lot Design Services in Orland Park, Illinois and the 80
Avenue Metra Train Station in Tinley Park, Illinois.

Although the team presented as part of the Neumann Monson proposal appears very
capable and competent, they want to include a local civil engineer to complete the team.
They have asked the City for a recommendation. The interview committee suggested
that we propose IIW. This will provide continuity between Phase I (Site Selection) and
Phase II (Preliminary Design) for the Intermodal project.
In addition, Neumann Monson Architects is recognized as the leader in sustainable
design with more LEED Certified and Registered projects than any other Iowa firm.
Nearly 90% of the company's design professionals are LEED Accredited Professionals
and understand the benefits that sustainable architecture provides and will design the
project to be long lasting, healthful, and one that reduces operational costs.
Neumann Monson Architects are known innovators and have been recognized with
many local, state, and regional design awards, including four American Institute of
Architects Sustainable Design awards. The company has also been honored with other
general architecture and interiors awards, which recognize innovative problem solving
abilities.
This team provides extensive experience with intermodal facilities, sustainable design,
and a wide array of municipal projects. They are committed to a collaborative approach
and are dedicated to providing innovative problem solving to the Dubuque Intermodal
project. The entire proposal from Neumann Monson which more thoroughly describes
the team is attached. References were checked on the main team members and the
feedback was extremely complimentary.
Based on the proposal, it is anticipated that the final study report shall be delivered to
the City within 8 -12 months.
BUDGET IMPACT
The work completed in Phase I (site selection) and Phase II (design) is being funded by
two grants received by the City. The state of Iowa committed $300,000 from
transportation funds which will be matched by $236,000 of federal transit funding. No
local match will be required. These funds were committed over the past three years
and must be committed soon to avoid the loss of funding. $59,670 has already been
spent for Phase I which provides the remainder of $476,329 for Phase II.
The scope of the project described in the RFP may need to be modified, to allow a
portion of the proposed Intermodal Facility to be located in the National Register of
Historic Places District. The negotiations with the consultant for a final cost will be
based on changes to the Scope of Work.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on review of the proposals, presentations, interviews and reference checks, the
consultant selection committee recommends that the City negotiate an agreement and
execute a contract with Neumann Monson for Phase II of the Intermodal Facility
preliminary design.

Scope of Services
Neumann Monson Architects, Rich & Associates, and our entire consultant team are
excited to submit our qualifications for this new intermodal transportation center.
We have unparalleled experience incorporating multi -modal transportation and parking
structures into a variety of urban settings. By taking inspiration from the existing context,
enlivening the streetscape, and creating safe and secure environments, we will provide
a unique combination of design excellence and an in -depth understanding of functional
and operational requirements that will make your project a success.
Design Philosophy
In any multi - modal, intermodal transit related parking garage project there are
numerous moving parts: automobiles, buses, trains, taxis shuttles, bicycles.
and most importantly, people. The most successful intermodal, multi -modal
transportation parking garage projects provide separate paths for moving traffic
in clear, well defined portals.
• The vehicular circulation and layout needs to be efficient, effective and safe.
This translates into a cost effective design and minimized traffic conflicts. If
you don't start with an efficient layout, meeting a budget can be an uphill battle.
Pedestrians must feel safe and secure using this facility. This is accomplished
through passive and active security, strategic lighting and thoughtful design of
the stair and elevator towers.
• Wherever possible, activate the streetscape with commercial storefronts,
landscaping, or other pedestrian friendly treatments.
Take inspiration from the context and future vision of the City. Parking structures
are a catalyst for the future success of a vibrant downtown. Their exterior must
be expressive, but not the brightest star on the streetscape, thus playing a
supporting role to the surrounding architecture.
Incorporate the latest in energy efficient and environmentally friendly design.
This approach not only saves a substantial amount in long term operating
costs. it also allows the facility to set an example to the community.
Because of the complex interaction of a major transit hub with its surroundings,
it is extremely important to have an understanding of the unique relationship
between railroad improvements and the programming for the building itself,
site improvements, transit and inter -city bus access requirements and impacts
on the surrounding streets, sidewalks, and the neighborhood in general.
Therefore, our team includes seasoned engineers who are experienced in
the integration of railroad facilities with the nuances of site design — from the
initial planning and schematic design to the final design, traffic and pedestrian
design, storm water management, and functional and efficient access for the
various transportation modes.
Dubuque Intermodal Facility > Architectural Design Services > March 30, 2011 NEUMANN MONSON ARCHITECTS- 4
Approach to Project
A number of factors must be considered as part of the railroad and site
engineering. These issues specifically relate to grading. utilities (water, sewer,
communications, etc.), storm water management, environmental review,
permitting. auto and bus site access and circulation, pedestrian and bike
access and circulation (both during construction and after completion), track
work, and train systems controls.
Our approach to completing your project on time and within budget includes several
key components. One critical component is the design team's relationship with the
City. It is our goal to establish a solid relationship with you based on cooperation and
good communication. We strive to create collaborative relationships promoting positive
communication, creativity, and value that will result in a superior project. We recognize
that this scope may need to be modified as we learn more about your project.

Ames Intermodal
Ames, Iowa, Pursuing LEED Gold Certification
The Ames Intermodal facility is located on Hayward Street on the west border of
Campustown, a high- density mixed -use neighborhood that borders the Iowa State
University campus. The facility will provide parking for the neighborhood with a
combination of permit and pay -on -foot spaces, in addition to providing regional bus, city
bus and airport shuttle services. The terminal space includes ticketing, management
offices, and 24 -hour lobby and restroom facilities for off -hour use. A setback on Hayward
Street allows for future retail development. The ramp is designed to expand vertically
or horizontally.
The design uses the natural slope of the site, which minimizes the overall height of the
structure. Cantilevered walkways along the east side provide increased safety and
visibility for pedestrian, while screening parked cars from view. Glass stair towers on
the east and west also provide increased visibility. A multi -use trail will be developed
along the north side of the site and will connect to the larger city trail system. Covered
bike storage and bike lockers will be located at the north end of the terminal.
Coralville Intermodal
Coralville. Iowa
The Coralville Intermodal facility is part of the much larger Iowa River Landing, a
mixed -use development in Coralville adjacent to the Iowa River and Interstate -80. The
intermodal facility will serve autos, buses, bicycles, and potentially a light rail system.
At the edge of town, the main intent of the project is to serve as a park and ride where
commuters can use the facility, then use bus transit or future light rail to The University
of Iowa. It will also support other functions within the larger development.
The Iowa River Landing Development will be home to the UIHC Ambulatory Care Clinic
Facility and commercial, retail, entertainment, recreation, and sports venues. Staff
parking for the University of Iowa Medical Office Building will also be included.

Coralville North Parking Ramp
Marriott Hotel & Convention Center
Coralville, Iowa
Coralville's newest parking facility serves the new hotel and convention center near
Interstate 80 and is adjacent to the Iowa River, a wetlands area, and the Coralville trail
system. It is a cast -in- place, post tension structure which includes the ground level with
two elevated levels above. The facility is designed to withstand the 500 -year flood level.
Several measures have been taken to reduce the visual scale of the large structure.
The structure is sunk into the surrounding landscape so the overall profile is lessened.
A green screen trellis system encloses the perimeter of the structure. Plantings at the
base of the trellis will grow up the side to soften the appearance and mask the vehicles
parked within. Extended, cantilevered walkways on the east overlook the wetlands and
river. The facility operates with two -way traffic. It is designed with one entrance and exit
lane each and a third lane which can alternate as necessary.
The schedule for the project was aggressive with 45 days for design, 45 days for
construction documents, two weeks for bidding and 12 months for construction,
including complex site modifications.
Melrose Avenue Ramp Expansion
The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa
An 800 -car expansion to a previous 800 -car parking structure designed by this firm.
Due to concern about light pollution and a contextual presence onto the surrounding
residential neighborhood. a scrim of terra cotta blades was utilized to either block light
from inside or allow daylight into the structure depening on location. The terra cotta
also builds on the existing red brick vernacular of this section of the University of Iowa
campus.
Pedestrain circulation is treated as a procession and externalized on the structure. The
stairs are sheathed in an innovative system of fritted, shingled glass panels. The fritted
glass mitigates solar gain while allowing unobstructed vision for security purposes.
The shingled nature of the panels creates a stack effect on the various stair levels to
naturally ventilate and cool the towers during the summer months.
This project was designed and managed by Khalid Khad before joining Neumann Monson Architects.
Firm of record is HLKB Architecture.

Cherry Street Intermodal Parking Structure
Terre Haute, Indiana
Rich & Associates, in association with a local consulting team, provided planning.
parking consulting, design and engineering of this 636 space intermodal parking
structure recently completed in downtown Terre Haute.
Completed in 2008, this $10.4 million facility functions as a transit headquarters and bus
transfer facility, and provides 636 automobile parking spaces on five levels. The Cherry
Street Intermodal Facility project is a partnership of the City of Terre Haute, Indiana
State University and the local business community. The intermodal center provides
positions for nine (9) bus stops on the ground floor, a 2,000 sf transit center with an
office and waiting room, bicycle parking areas and restrooms.
Prominently sited at a main entrance to Indiana State University, parking is provided
for faculty and staff of the University, and local business owners and customers of the
adjacent downtown business district. The facility also accommodates special event
parking at the adjacent Hulman Center. This intermodal garage was 80% funded
through FTA grants.
City of Traverse City, Michigan
Old Town Parking Structure
Traverse City. Michigan
Rich & Associates recently led a team of local consultants in the design and engineering
of a new 510 space parking structure in downtown Traverse City, Michigan. The Old
Town Parking Deck provides much needed general parking to this area of the City as
well as monthly spaces to support the expansion of a local insurance company.
Working closely with the City, we conducted several public design charrettes to gather
input from the general public and the gain support for the project. Through this process
several ideas were presented by the community to provide more amenities in the
parking structure to support the community. Our team worked quickly to provide design
approaches that could accommodate these public amenities while maintaining the
City's goals and budget. As a result the Old Town Parking Structure features several
sustainable design elements as well as functions desired by the community. These
features include a green roof over a portion of the roof level parking and atop the stair/
elevator towers, 18 spaces equipped with power for electrical hybrid vehicles, solar
panels to generate electrical power, snow melt systems bicycle storage in two areas,
and public washrooms.
The parking structure is set back from the two main streets at both ends to accommodate
future development of low rise commercial development. The parking structure towers
are designed to connect into these two buildings.

Quality Control & Quality Assurance
Dubuque Intermodal Facility > Architectural Design Services > March 30, 2011
We focus quality control procedures on providing positive guidance to the project staff
and sub - consultants, and on monitoring performance as the project work proceeds.
We maintain a system of periodic peer review for all aspects of the work at various
project milestones. When working in a team -based situation quality control increases
with reciprocal peer reviews between the firms. No work products or deliverables are
released without an appropriate peer review.
Quality
We implement a detailed Quality Control program that reviews and steers the project
at key milestones in the process. The Q/C process, by design, includes review by
third parties to give the benefit of `fresh eyes' on the work. Comprehensive checklists
are employed throughout the project and built into the project delivery process and
schedule. Strict document control is essential for keeping the project on time and on
budget, for facilitating communication and decision - making among individual members
of the project team, and for effective coordination within the overall project team and
with the Client. Inherent in the schedule, we allocate sufficient time for Q/C procedures
and quality assurance reviews. The Q /A, Q/C program is the key to providing the
professional services and superior architectural solutions for which we are known.
Cost
Neumann Monson Architects will engage a cost estimator and /or contractor to provide
cost estimating, scheduling, phasing, and `constructability' consultation, which will be
complemented by our own in -house expertise in these specialized areas. This close
coordination, combined with our experience on projects of this type, enables us to
effectively manage the project to stay on budget and schedule. Our team will undertake
cost control reviews on a continuous basis and communicate the results to the Client
at certain milestones throughout the project. Line -by -line estimate reviews with the cost
estimator and the project team occur at each phase of the work. Systems pricing is
included at the early phases of the design process to effectively enable the development
of the project design within budget parameters. Materials, methods and systems will be
evaluated to achieve the optimum performance at the lowest cost.
Schedule
Neumann Monson Architects has demonstrated a history of meeting project schedules.
The design team will work with the contractor to develop and achieve your schedule
goals and to meet the critical opening date for each project phase. Each member of
our team, including our senior leadership, will be involved throughout the duration of
the project, providing personal attention from initial project design through completion of
construction. At the onset of the project, we will prepare a preliminary phased schedule
for completion of work. This schedule will be prepared together with input from the
Client, our in -house experts, and the contractor to ensure the design team meets your
objectives. We will continuously monitor the schedule for compliance and provide
regular reports to the City of Dubuque.
Rick Caruth is the individual assigned to quality control /quality assurance. we estimate
his QC /QA work would be approximately 40 hrs. for each of the two phases of work.
