SUBJECT: Developer Selection/Dubuque Star Brewery Project
In September 2005, the City Council authorized staff to issue a new RFP to solicit
qualified developers or development teams for the continued redevelopment of the
Dubuque Star Brewery building and site in the Port of Dubuque. Two developers
responded to the request by the November 18, 2005 deadline: 1) The Alexander
Company, asking to continue their relationship with the City on this project; and 2) the
Port of Dubuque Development, LLC, a subsidiary of Epic Construction.
A Selection Committee comprised of the following persons reviewed the RFP submittals
and interviewed the two prospective developers:
Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager
Dawn Lang, Budget Manager
Rich Russell, Building Services Manager
Dave Heiar, Economic Development Director
Pam Myhre, Economic Development Planner
Amy Wickham, Greater Dubuque Development Retail Expansion Specialist
Economic Development Director David Heiar is recommending the selection of the Port
of Dubuque Development, LLC, as developer for the Dubuque Star Brewery Project,
and that a development agreement be negotiated.
The Port of Dubuque Development, LLC proposal is an estimated $6.5 million proposal
involving a winery operation on the first floor. A microbrewery/brewpub restaurant has
also expressed interest in the project. Retail space would also be located on the first
floor. Additional restaurant seating would be located on the second floor, along with
office space. The developer has proposed starting construction in the spring of 2006,
with occupancy by summer 2007. The developer has also committed to completing the
entire renovation project regardless of having tenants signed for the entire building.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Developer Selection/Dubuque Star Brewery Project
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides a recommendation to the City Council regarding the
selection of a developer for the continued redevelopment of the former Dubuque Star
Brewery building and site. A Resolution is attached approving a developer for the
project.
BACKGROUND
In 2002, the City initiated a request for qualifications process to select a developer for
the Dubuque Star Brewery project. The Alexander Company of Madison, Wisconsin
was selected as the preferred developer at the end of that process with anticipation of a
$5+ million redevelopment project to include a microbrewery operation, restaurant and
bar. However, the local partners involved in the brewery production portion of the
planned redevelopment were unable to finance their planned project.
The City moved ahead with a 1-year lease with Alexander during which time both
parties were to finalize a development agreement and long-term lease. Since then,
Alexander has supervised over $1 million in renovation costs using City funds, including
gutting the building, sandblasting paint from interior walls, necessary brick replacement,
complete tuckpointing of the exterior masonry, reroofing 2/3 of the building and
demolition of a metal addition.
The Alexander Company marketed the building regionally, hired Prudential Realty to
market the property locally and had multiple showings of the property without
successfully signing an anchor tenant for the building. An amendment to the 1-year
lease in March 2005 provided for a 5-month extension to continue their marketing
efforts. A further amendment extended the lease until December 31, 2005. Without an
anchor tenant and a certain percentage of the building leased, Alexander could not
secure conventional financing for the overall project.
In the last lease amendment with Alexander, it was agreed that the City would issue a
new Request for Proposals (RFP), with Alexander encouraged to submit another
proposal if they so desired.
DISCUSSION
In September 2005, the City Council authorized staff to issue a new RFP to solicit
qualified developers or development teams for the continued redevelopment of the
Dubuque Star Brewery building and site in the Port of Dubuque. Two developers
responded to the request by the November 18, 2005 deadline: 1) The Alexander
Company, asking to continue their relationship with the City on this project; and 2) the
Port of Dubuque Development, LLC, a subsidiary of Epic Construction.
A Selection Committee comprised of the following persons reviewed the RFP submittals
and interviewed the two prospective developers:
Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager
Dawn Lang, Budget Manager
Rich Russell, Building Services Manager
Dave Heiar, Economic Development Director
Pam Myhre, Economic Development Planner
Amy Wickham, Greater Dubuque Development Retail Expansion Specialist
The RFP asked potential developers to provide information regarding, among other
things, the planned reuse of the building, the proposed cost and extent of renovation
and the proposed project schedule.
The Alexander Company's proposal continues the Brewery development project that
they have been working on for the past several years. They have guided the Phase 1
renovation of the building and have been seeking tenants to fill a portion of the space
before moving ahead with additional rehabilitation work. For the past six months, they
have been working with an out-of-town dinner theatre company as possible tenants of
the first floor space. Their RFP submittal involves both the 400-seat dinner theatre
tenant and a local winery as first floor tenants, with restaurant and office opportunities
on the upper floors (though uncommitted at this time). Their overall estimated project
cost is $6.3 million. They would move ahead with renovation of the first floor space
(completion within 5-6 months) but would not likely commit funds to renovation of the
upper floors until additional tenants are secured. Since meeting with the committee, the
City has learned that The Alexander Company has severed its relationship with the
dinner theatre company and would propose to demolish the rear cement block addition
that would have served as the primary theatre space. They would continue the project
with the winery tenant on the first floor.
The Port of Dubuque Development, LLC proposal also involves the winery operator
as a first floor tenant and indicates that a microbrewery/brewpub restaurant has also
expressed interest in the project. Retail space would also be located on the first floor.
Additional restaurant seating would be located on the 2nd floor, along with office space.
The developer estimates total costs at $6.5 million, including retaining the cement block
addition (to be refaced). The developer has proposed starting construction in Spring
2006 with occupancy by Summer 2007. The developer has also committed to
completing the entire renovation project (excluding final tenant improvements)
regardless of having tenants signed for the whole building.
After interviewing the developers and considering additional information requested of
them, both developers were found to have the expertise and financial ability to
complete the projects proposed. Both plan to use historic tax credits in financing the
project and both will require City tax increment financing assistance. The committee
also considered both developers' local development track record in making their
assessment.
RECOMMENDATION
After reviewing the proposals, the committee recommends the selection of the Port of
Dubuque Development, LLC as developer for the Dubuque Star Brewery project. Once
approved, staff will begin negotiating a formal Development Agreement and Lease with
the developer. The Development Agreement will identify the redevelopment terms,
conditions and obligations of both City and the LLC. We anticipate the documents
should be ready for City Council approval in 60-90 days.
ACTION STEP
The action step for the City Council is to adopt the attached Resolution approving the
Port of Dubuque Development, LLC as developer of the Dubuque Star Brewery project
and direct staff to negotiate a formal Development Agreement and Lease with the
company for City Council approval at an upcoming meeting.

f. LITlGATlON SUMMARY
The Alexander Company is not currently I involved in any litigation that would
have any impact on our ability to execute this project.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Our goal is to anchor the project with strong ground floor retail/entertaimnent
uses. This is the most critical part of the project because the viability of the
amphitheater and riverwalk rest heavily on 'good sound sustainable uses that will
promote tourism and the port of Dubuque experience. Much of our focus has been
on attempting to develop interest from these types of end-users. Our experience in
placing Iowa's Enterprise Zone and Historic credits as well as Federal Historic
and New Market Credits give us the tools necessary to provide the best financial
value to prospective tenants and the City. Our lenders and equity providers are
quite comfortable with our ability to complete the project and are eager to jump in
as soon as we have a viable tenant.
We now have a letter of intent from an operator who wishes to lease slightly over
18,000 square feet of the first floor, including the concrete block structure for use
as a 400 seat dinner theater. We will be receiving their business plan for
evaluation on Monday, November 28 and will forward a copy to the City's
Economic Development Department at that time. The Financing for the project is
identified in the financial model dated October 18, 2005. (Exhibit 2). The Site
Plan (with the inclusion of the concrele block structure) provides for 189 vehicle
spaces plus an additional 7 parking spaces for buses (See exhibit 8.). Should the
business plan and financial information meet our satisfaction and that of our
lender, we would anticipate entering into a leas by early Hjanuary and complete
conslruction by fall of 2006.
We have meet with representatives from who wishes to
explore the poissibility of leasing the balanCe of the first floor for a Winery and a
Wine tasting room. The combination of the winery and the dinner theater would
provide great synergy for those wishing to make day or weekend trips to the port

of Dubuque as well as an area draw as a cultural and entertainment venue. The
winery would conduct tours of its wine making facility and provide a lounge and
gift shop for displaying and selling its wares.
Should the Dinner Theater nol come to fruition, the concrete block building
would be torn down and the western half of the structure would be outfitted with
storefronts for other retail and service uses. The site plan would be modified as
shown in Exhibit 2B "Alternate Site Plan". We have begun pricing the propose
layout provided to us from h and will present the financing package to
the City Economic Development Staff during the first full week of December.
Occupancy could happen as early as summer of 2006.
The upper floors of the building will continue to be marketed towards prospective
restaurants (second floor) and offices (second through fifth floors). David
Frommelt has compiled a list of interested parties that have toured the facility
over the past year. This list is attached as "Exhibit 2C". This list is to remain
confidential and shall only be shared with City staff directly involved in the
evaluation of this proposal unless express written consent is give by David
Frommelt.

Item 2 - Project Description
Our vision of the Brewery project begins with the main level. A Winery and a Micro-
brewery/Brewpub restaurant have expressed interest in this project. These businesses
would fill the main level along with a portion ofthe second level. The remainder of the
second level along with third would be designated as office space. The fourth level
would be set aside for a conference room, which could be leased by the day or week by
individuals or corporations for private functions. The fifth level will be a lookout tower
for people to view the area surroundings.
We see the Dubuque Star Brewery restoration as an important piece to a larger
development in making the Port of Dubuque a destination point for tourists from around
the world.
