Gus Psihoyos. City Engineer
SUBJECT: Sonson Road Reconstruction Project
CIP 3001813: Fiscal Year 2007 Street Construction Program
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions authorize the public bidding procedure for the Sonson Road
Reconstruction Project.
BACKGROUND
The existing Sonson Road is asphaltic pavement with curb and gutter on the west side
of the road.
DISCUSSION
The Sonson Road Reconstruction Project will provide for the reconstruction of
underground utilities, roadway sub-base and the construction of a new 31-wide concrete
roadway. The project will include new curbing and sidewalk on both sides of the street.
The road will be widened from its existing 24 feet to 31 feet.
The project also provides for the reconstruction of two (2) sanitary sewer manholes.
There are no individual sanitary sewer services on this street. The project will also
include the construction of approximately 690 lineal feet of new storm sewer and catch
basins to improve the storm water conveyance in the area and the installation of fiber
optics telecommunications conduit infrastructure. The project will incorporate upgrades
to the existing water system that include: the complete reconstruction of approximately
1,325 lineal feet of new watermain, mainline valves and fire hydrants. There are no
individual water services on this street.
City staff met with the City Forester on this project to discuss the condition and impact
to the existing City trees within the project corridor. There are approximately fifty (50)
trees in this corridor. which a majority of them are small diameter voluntary cedar trees.
However, it is proposed that twenty (20) of the voluntary trees will be removed due to
the proposed construction operations.
Due to the desire to protect existing trees and the steep grade on the side yards, three
(3) segmental block retaining walls will be installed along the east side of this project.
PROJECT COORDINATION
In an effort to inform the impacted residents along Bonson Road, the Engineering
Department staff conducted two (2) public informational meetings-one in 2005 and
another this year. The open forum meetings allowed staff to discuss the scope of the
project, construction schedule, special assessment procedures, availability of financial
assistance, as well as to answer any other questions relating to the project. The public
informational meetings proved to offer mutual benefit to both staff and residents that
attended.
The plans have been reviewed by Building Services and Human Rights to ensure it
complies with the building code and ADA (American Disabilities Act) requirements.

SONSON ROAD RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Assessment Information
Why do I receive an assessment?
When a street is reconstructed, it includes the complete removal and
replacement of base, pavement, and curb as well as the repair of other street
infrastructures such as sanitary sewer, storm sewer, watermain, sidewalks, curb
and gutter, etc.
Since my property abuts the improved street or is located within 300 feet or half
the distance between the streets (whichever is smaller), an assessment is
charged. Only that portion of my property that falls within these limits is
assessed.
Since I pay City taxes, why do I, rather than City, bear the cost of the
reconstruction?
In April, 1983 the City Council adopted a policy for sharing the cost of
reconstruction between the City and residents, and those properties within that
neighborhood. The City absorbs approximately 75 percent (75%) of the project
costs through the use of the Local Option Sales Tax. And although City funding
is utilized, a portion of the remaining costs are borne by those property owners
that derive the greatest benefit in the form of a special assessment.
How is my assessment calculated?
The method of assessing property owners in the City of Dubuque divides up the
lot into units and applies a percentage or weighted value to each unit based on
its distance from the street. The basic philosophy is that properties along the
roadway shall pay a higher percentage of the assessable cost while properties
farther away will pay less.
The calculation takes into consideration other such factors as different size lots,
vacant lots versus lots with houses, commercial versus residential property, and
the type of street (primary, secondary, collector, arterial). By state law an
assessment cannot exceed 25 percent of the property value plus improvements.
Also, by City Council directive, the cumulative assessment cannot exceed 25
percent of the property value plus improvements. This directive comes into play
when a property is assessed for multiple streets, sanitary sewer, sanitary sewer
lateral, water service or sidewalk in any 1 a-year period of time.
How do I learn about the property assessment?
Once the City Council approves the year's annual street program, the
Engineering Department begins the development of the plans and specifications
for the project. The impacted property owners are invited to informational
meetings to learn about the scope of the project, the estimated project costs,
construction phasing, timing, general assessment information, availability of
financial assistance, and to provide input regarding the project.
Based on this information and review of the project by other City departments,
the Council is asked for its approval to initiate the project. After receipt of that
Council approval, a letter is sent to each property owner with a preliminary
assessment. This estimated cost provides the impacted property owner the
opportunity to plan his finances to pay his share of the street infrastructure
improvements.
Can I object to my property assessment?
Yes. The time to object is when you receive the Preliminary Notice of
Assessment.
How do I share my objection to my property assessment?
You are welcome to notify the City Council in two ways: 1) Write a letter to the
Mayor and Honorable Council Members, % City Clerk, 50 W. 13th Street,
Dubuque, IA 52001, indicating your concerns prior to the date of the public
hearing; and/or, 2) Address the City Council at the specified public hearing time
for the project.
Your comments are taken seriously by the City staff and the City Council. After
review of provided comments, the City Council can approve, amend, or deny the
start of the project. If the City Council approves the project, then the project will
start and the preliminary assessments are set.
Can my preliminary assessment increase after the project is completed?
The good news is NO. The preliminary assessment that you receive is the most
that you are expected to pay. If the total project costs come in lower than
estimated, these cost savings are passed onto you with a lower final
assessment.
What if I want to sell my house after the preliminary assessment is given?
You, as the property owner, are responsible for the preliminary assessment.
After the City Council approves the project, the preliminary assessment is
recorded at the City Assessor's Office on the property real estate records. At the
time of your house sale, you have two options: 1) Place the preliminary
assessment amount in escrow until the project is finalized; or, 2) You and the
buyer can reach an understanding on how the assessment is paid. It is
suggested that you work with the realtor/s or your attorney to arrange this
payment. It would be also helpful if you would notify the City Engineering
Department of who/where to notify at the time of the finalization of the project.
When do I have to pay the assessment?
Although the project may look done, the City works with the contractor to ensure
that all work meets City standards; therefore, it can take up to a year or more for
a project to be completed. Once the City is satisfied with the work, the project
goes to the City Council for acceptance. Upon that acceptance, a written notice
is sent to you with the final assessment amount from the Engineering
Department.
Is there financial assistance available to help defray the assessment?
At the time you receive the final assessment amount, information will be given on
financial assistance. Financial assistance is available for a portion of the street
paving and water service lateral portions of your assessment. The first
requirement for financial assistance is that you, as the property owner, must live
at the residential property. Then assistance is determined on family size and
income level. You are given 30 days to submit your application for financial
assistance.
How will when I know when to pay?
Approximately 45 to 60 days after notification from the Engineering Department,
you will receive the final notification of the owed assessment from the City Clerk's
office. If you qualify for financial assistance, your final assessment will reflect
that reduction.
Where do I pay my assessment?
If you wish to pay the entire assessment amount from the Engineering
Department, you will have 30 days to pay it at the City Treasurer's office at City
Hall, 50 West 13th Street. Or, after the 30 days, you can pay the assessment
over a ten-year period at a 9% interest rate at the Treasurer's Office,
Courthouse, 720 Central, Dubuque, IA 52001.
