SUBJECT: SEP Green Alley between White & Jackson Street from 9th to 10th
(CIP 7102350)
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the improvements for the Green
Alley between White and Jackson Street from 9th to 10th Streets. This is the first of four
green alleys completed to satisfy the June 27, 2011 Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Consent Decree.
BACKGROUND
Section X of Case 2:11 -cv- 01001 -EJM, United States of America and the State of Iowa
v. the City of Dubuque, IA (N.D. Iowa), Civil Action Number 2008V00041, DOJ Case
Number 90 -5 -1 -1 -09339 requires the City of Dubuque (City) to implement a
Supplemental Engineering Project (SEP), which has the objective of securing significant
environmental or public health protection and improvements. Under the SEP, the City
has agreed to reconstruct four (4) alleys using permeable interlocking pavers. The four
(4) alleys must be completed by December 31, 2014. In July of 2011 a work plan was
submitted to the EPA that included the alley between White and Jackson Street from
9th to 10th Streets. This alley is in the Historic Millwork District.
Construction of permeable paver alleys will reduce the volume and peak flow of runoff
to the Mississippi River while also reducing the pollutant load associated with
sto rmwate r runoff.
DISCUSSION
Engineering staff discussed the alley reconstruction with the general contractor for the
HMD project, Portzen Construction (Portzen). Since Portzen was already in the
immediate vicinity of the work area, they agreed to do the additional work at HMD
project bid prices. These prices were very favorable compared to recent green alley
projects. Since the HMD project was funded with TIGER funds from the US Department
of Transportation, the SEP alley cannot be included in the HMD project as a change
order as the SEP alley has to be funded completely with City funds.
The Green Alley Project, between White & Jackson Streets, from 9th to 10th Streets, was
completed by Portzen Construction, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa, in the final contract amount
of $127,155.99.
As provided in Paragraph 43 of the Consent Decree, any public statement, oral or
written, in print, film, or other media, made by the City making reference to the SEP
under the Consent Decree must include the following language:
"This project was undertaken in connection with the settlement of an enforcement
action, United States and State of Iowa v. City of Dubuque, Iowa, taken on behalf
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Iowa under the
Clean Water Act."
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize payment of
the contract amount of $127,155.99 to Portzen Construction, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa, for
the Green Alley Project, between White & Jackson Streets, from 9th to 10th Streets.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funding for the SEP Green Alley Project, between White & Jackson Streets, from 9th to
10th Streets is from the FY 12 CIP appropriation for SEP Green Alleys (CIP #7102350).
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the
improvements and authorizing payment of the contract amount of $127,155.99 to
Portzen Construction, Inc. for the SEP Green Alley Project, between White & Jackson
Streets, from 9th to 10th Streets.
