Heiar, Economic Development Director THE CITY OF DUB Masterpiece on the Mississippi Dubuque 'VIII' 21Rr MEMORANDUM December 27, 2012 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: David J. Heiar, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Competitive RISE Application for a New Street to Support the Expansion of the Dubuque Industrial South on the Former South Siegert Farm INTRODUCTION This memorandum requests City Council approval of a Resolution endorsing a RISE grant application for a new street to serve approximately 78 acres of new industrial property located on the former South Siegert Farm. The new street is needed to accommodate the expansion of the Dubuque Industrial Center South (see attached map). BACKGROUND The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) administers the Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) program which provides funding in support of local and /or regional economic development efforts. The RISE Funding may be used to assist construction of new roadways to support new economic development initiatives. A local match of not less than fifty percent is required in the Competitive RISE program. The City would utilize G.O. Bond proceeds to use as local match. The Bond would be repaid by Tax Increment Financing. The pace of development has created a need for the next phase of the Dubuque Industrial Center, which is the South Siegert Farm. Grading of this project began in the summer of 2012 and will be completed in the summer of 2013. We are preparing to construct the needed infrastructure, including streets, water, sewer and fiber. The infrastructure improvements will provide for a street with a temporary cul -de -sac and will provide access to approximately 78 acres of new industrial land. DISCUSSION The attached Resolution authorizes an application for RISE funding for a new 900 foot urban industrial street with a temporary cul -de -sac providing access to approximately 78 acres of the South Siegert Farm. This road will provide direct access to much needed industrial lots. The Resolution contains provisions required by IDOT, including an endorsement of the project, a certification that the roadway is dedicated to public use and will remain so dedicated and the assurance that the City assumes responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of the roadway improvement. The total estimated cost of the street project is $500,632 which includes design and engineering and construction services. The application requests that the State fund 50% or $250,316 of the eligible costs with a RISE grant. The balance of street project cost ($250,316) will be funded by proceeds from a G.O. Bond repaid by Tax Increment Financing. The City will also be responsible for the extension of water and sewer mains, street, lighting, fiber optic conduit, and landscaping along the new street. This additional City cost is estimated at $223,326, bringing the City's total projected investment at $573,642. A detailed cost estimate is attached. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the City Council endorse the submission of an application for a RISE grant for this industrial street. This project will provide access to approximately 78 additional acres of industrial land in the Dubuque Industrial Center South. If the City is successful with this application, we will return to the City Council for approval of the grant agreement and finalization of local match funding. ACTION STEP The action is to adopt the attached Resolution.

Van Milligen, City Manager Typed Name and Title Kevin Firnstahl, City Clerk Date Signed 1/16/13 Typed Date ate Signed 1/16/13 Typed Name and Title Typed Date 6 Exhibit ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The construction of the new street into Dubuque Industrial Center South is essential to the Dubuque's and Greater Dubuque Development Corporation's (GDDC) short -term plans for economic development. The city and the corporation, in cooperation with Prosperity Eastern Iowa (a regional economic development marketing organization), are actively recruiting new industry and are working closely with the Iowa Economic Development Authority in the marketing of the industrial parks. The City and the Corporation have had great success in recruiting new and expanding businesses and have sold basically most of their property in the Dubuque Industrial Center West (DICW). There are only several small lots left. The creation of the US 20 Industrial Park, with a variety of lot sizes, including larger lots, is imperative. The City and Greater Dubuque Development have successfully recruited a number of businesses to the Community. These include Hormel Foods Corp., Medline Industries, ITC Holdings Corp., Arts -Way Vessel, Inc., and Sedgwick, Inc. They have assisted home grown business such as Theisen Stores, The Adams Company, American Tank & Fabrication Company, Oral Arts, Giese Manufacturing, Vanguard Countertops, Tri -State Industries, DDI, Inc., Automated Presort, Inc., The Hodge Companies, and Dubuque Screws Products, Inc. with expansions /relocations. The City and GDDC also assisted McGraw - Hill Higher Education and Kendall Hunt Publising Company with expansions /relocations. On January 15, 2009 IBM announced that it was coming to Dubuque and bringing with them 1,300 new jobs in Information Technology. IBM indicated that 125 to 200 current employees would move to Dubuque and that the rest would be hired locally. Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, in cooperation with the City of Dubuque and five other organizations established "DubuqueWorks ". This unified effort assisted and coordinated the efforts to recruit new employees to the greater Dubuque area. As of December 31, 2011, IBM kept its promise and created 1,300 new positions in the City of Dubuque!! In August of 2011, the City sold 24.51 acres to Green Industrial Supply in the Dubuque Industrial Center West for a new $9,119,070 industrial /distribution facility. The 120,000 sq. ft building is complete. This building is on the new RISE funded street approved by the Commission in 2009. IWI Motors Parts also built its new facility on this street. The final 6.11 acres site left on this RISE funded street was sold to Federal Express for a new Processing Center, the building is under construction and about finished. These are three more examples of the success of the City of Dubuque and the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, and why additional industrial sites are needed. In spite of this tremendous success, the Dubuque area has seen some reduction of job opportunities in the area in recent months: McGraw -Hill is closing its Distribution Center in the Industrial Center West, as more and more publications are being sold as e- books. The City of Dubuque, the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, and other economic development officials in the area are not content to rest on their accomplishments. All realize the need to move forward and provide the area with additional shovel -ready industrial sites. The need for the RISE funding for this project is great. The proposed RISE project would construct a new street that would provide access to 140 acres that would be developed into 78 usable acres with four (4) industrial sites ranging in size from 13 acres to 25.9 acres. The new industrial park is named "Dubuque Industrial Center South" and lies directly along 4 -lane US 20. This new park would provide a superb location for future industries looking for high visibility at one of the "gateways to the Key City ". The City of Dubuque proposes constructing the street at a total cost of $500,630.94. The grading of the industrial park is about complete. New industrial expansion is dependent upon the construction of this street for the new Industrial Park. In order to spur and control this development the City of Dubuque with the assistance of the GDDC bought 140 acres. The have spent $770,000 in purchasing this 140 acres of land (South Siegert Farm). The City is spending an additional $2,602,320 in grading and installing utilities to the lots. Total investment by the City in acquisition, grading, utility and engineering costs is $3,372,320. As identified in the existing conditions section, the other non - roadway factors are in place. The zoning is industrial and adequate sanitary sewer, water, police and fire protection are available in the area. The City is extending sanitary sewer and water into the industrial park. Electrical Service will be extended by Alliant Energy and Maquoketa Valley REC and natural gas by Black Hills Energy. Local employment in Dubuque is comprised of a wide variety of manufacturing, information technology, service, distribution, commercial, health, education, and retail businesses. Greater Dubuque Development and the City want to broaden the manufacturing, information technology and retail base so that the local environment yields a more diverse and healthy economy. The City and Greater Dubuque Development are members of Prosperity Eastern Iowa, a regional Economic Development marketing group. Greater Dubuque Development, in partnership with Iowa Workforce Development, has completed a Laborshed Study of the region, a Fringe Benefit Profile of the region and an "Advanced Manufacturing" analysis of the region. In addition, the City has an updated Community Quick Reference. The RISE funding will provide timely support to this park development and will assist in future marketing efforts. We encourage the IDOT Commission to act favorably on this application. The following is a summary of the additional non -RISE investment in the project: OTHER INVESTMENT: Public Sector (City of Dubuque) $ 770,000 Land Acquisition 2,602,320 Grading and Utilities (includes 15% contingency) $ 3,372,320 TOTAL NONROADWAY INVESMENT 47'1a\.bit a Prepared /Return to: David Heiar Economic Development 50 W. 13' St. Dubuque, IA 52001 (563) 589 -4393 RESOLUTION NO A RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE SUBMISSION OF A REVITALIZE IOWA'S SOUND ECONOMY (RISE) APPLICATION TO THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW STREET IN DUBUQUE INDUSTRIAL CENTER SOUTH Whereas, the City of Dubuque believes that economic development opportunities require developable industrial land with adequate public infrastructure in order to retain and attract new job creating businesses and industries to this community; and Whereas, the City of Dubuque is working with local and national industries in the development of industrial properties in the new Dubuque Industrial Center South; and Whereas, the Iowa Department of Transportation, through its Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) Competitive Project Funding, has monies available for the development of public roadways to support economic development opportunities.

Firnstahl, City Clerk Exhibit C -1 TRANSPORTATION JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT The City, with the assistance of the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation have sold basically most of their property in the Dubuque Industrial Center West. Only several small sites are left. The creation of a new industrial sites, with a variety of lot sizes, including larger lots, is imperative for the continued growth of the City, County and Region. The proposed improvements to the 140 acres of the South Siegert Farm for Dubuque Industrial Center South Industrial Park will consist of developing 4 industrial lots. The City proposes constructing: 900' Street of 9" PCC The Exhibit D -1 Vicinity Map depicts the general location of the industrial park within the City's overall transportation system. Exhibit D -2 depicts the immediate location of the proposed industrial Tots and proposed street improvements. The new street will access Seippel Road. The anticipated design year traffic is estimated to be 2,600VPD based on an estimation of vehicle trips to the developed industrial lots. Of the total trips, it is estimated that truck traffic will account for 30% of the traffic on the streets. Construction the new street will provide access to the new Industrial Park. The proposed street improvements consist of roadway excavation, 12" modified subbase, 9" thick PPC concrete pavement, subdrain installation, storm sewer construction, topsoiling and seeding of the disturbed areas. The total length of street improvements is approximately 900 feet. Exhibit E -2 depicts the typical street cross section. The new street will improve the business recruitment and retention perspective and the long -term sustainable economic vitality of Dubuque's Industrial Center developments (West and South), With the high visibility from the adjacent US Highway 20 corridor, the future industrial sites in the new Dubuque Industrial Center South will be in high demand. Construction of the new street is proposed to provide access to proposed industrial Tots. PROJECT COST & FUNDING The estimate of probable cost for the Dubuque Industrial Center South new street project is $500,631 which includes construction and engineering services. The proposed funding for the project is as follows: Fund Description Amount City of Dubuque $250,316 Iowa DOT RISE Grant Funding $250,315 Total Project Funding $500,631 The application requests that the State fund up to 50% of the roadway improvements (excluding sidewalks, street lights, water, sewer, etc.) or approximately $500,631 of the eligible costs with a RISE grant appropriation. The remainder of the funding would come from the City of Dubuque. Exhibit C -2 Narrative Documentation for Non - Roadway Dubuque Industrial Center South Industrial Park WATER The City of Dubuque is served by several above ground and at- ground water storage tanks. Two above ground storage tanks directly serve this industrial park: Pennsylvania Avenue facility with a 1,250,000 gallon capacity and Northwest Arterial facility with a 2,400,000 gallon capacity. The site is served by a 12" line on the east side and a 16" line along Seippel Road. The City of Dubuque will be extending waterlines into the park. SANITARY SEWER The City of Dubuque has a sewer system with a great deal of excess capacity. It was built to treat the waste products of the former Dubuque Parking Company and its successor FDL Foods, Inc. Construction is underway by the City on upgrading the waste water treatment plant and the equipment to an anaerobic digester system. Costs of upgrading the equipment and upgrading the processing will exceed $60,000,000. The City has extended a 16" sewer trunk line to serve this new industrial site. Additional laterals to each lot will be extended as each lot is sold. ZONING The industrial site has been rezoned to an industrial classification as the 140 site is owned by the City. 100 -YEAR FLOOD PLAIN None of the developed sites will be in the 100 -year flood plain. The City anticipates no issues in providing building permits. WETLAND AREA Design calls for the preservation/creation of wetland areas.

Re: Dubuque Competitive RISE Application for Dubuque Industrial Center South Dear Jerry: I am writing to express support of the RISE application to fund the construction of the 900' Street to provide access to new industrial sites in the new Dubuque Industrial Center South industrial park. This project is consistent with the DMATS 2031 Long Range Transportation Plan. A part of the overall goal is to promote economic development and improved access to major job centers for all modes of transportation in the DMATS area. The construction of this new street will provide access to four industrial lots in the new 140 acres industrial park, with 78 usable acres. Securing funding for this project would assist in furthering the economic development goals for the DMATS area. Should you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me at 563 556 -4166.

This is the state's mechanism for requiring grant applicants to consider the potential impact of the grant project's proposed programs or policies on minority groups. Please choose the statement(s) that pertains to this grant application. Complete all the information requested for the chosen statement(s). Submit additional pages as necessary. ® The proposed grant project programs or policies could have a disproportionate or unique positive impact on minority persons. Describe the positive impact expected from this project. The RISE funded new 900' Street will improve access to the proposed Dubuque Industrial Center South industrial park. This will allow a greater volume of traffic, especially semi - tractor trailers into the Industrial Center. This improved access will greatly improve the marketability of the industrial lots and should attract new industries or the expansion of exisiting industries. These industrial busineses will create new jobs, increasing the hiring opportunities for women, the disabled, and people from several different minority groups. Indicate which group is impacted: ® Women ® Persons with a disability ® Blacks ® Latinos ❑ Asians ❑ Pacific Islanders ® American Indians ❑ Alaskan Native Americans ❑ Other ❑ The proposed grant project programs or policies could have a disproportionate or unique negative impact on minority persons. Describe the negative impact expected from this project. Present the rationale for the existence of the proposed program or policy. Provide evidence of consultation with representatives of the minority groups impacted. 10 Indicate which group is impacted: ❑ Women ❑ Persons with a disability ❑ Blacks ❑ Latinos ❑ Asians ❑ Pacific Islanders ❑ American Indians ❑ Alaskan Native Americans ❑ Other ❑ The proposed grant project programs or policies are not expected to have a disproportionate or unique impact on minority persons.
