Former Adams Company Building Re-Roof and Structural Repairs
EDA Project No. 05-01-03816
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions authorize the public bidding procedure for the National
Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Expansion Project - Former Adams Company
Building Re-Roof and Structural Repairs Project.
BACKGROUND
In December of 2002, the City Council approved a grant with the Economic
Development Administration (EDA) in the amount of $2,000,000 to assist the City in
acquiring the Adams Company's property, relocation assistance for the business and
demolishing the existing structures.
Since that time, the Adams Company property has been purchased by the City, and
company has constructed a new facility and relocated to the Dubuque Industrial Center
West.
Although the State Historic Preservation Commission and the Dubuque Historic
Preservation Commission have approved the demolition of the structures, the City
Council agreed in November of 2004 to delay demolition to provide the Dubuque
County Historical Society (DCHS) with an opportunity to present a re-use proposal for
the buildings. In late 2005 the DCHS decided to pursue the reuse of the building. Based
on this decision, on June 19th the City Council approved an Amendment NO.4 to the
EDA grant which provided a six (6) month extension on utilization of the balance of this
grant funds (approximately $297,181) until December 25, 2006.
DISCUSSION
The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium Expansion Project - Former Adams
Company Building Re-Roof and Structural Repairs Project will consists of re-roofing and
structural repairs at the former Adams Company Building at the Port of Dubuque. Work
includes the removal of the existing roofing and deck; installation of new steel deck,
insulation and sheet metal roofing; and installation of additional structural support to
improve the structural capabilities of the existing roof trusses.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Since this project will be utilizing federal participating funds, the City has submitted a
copy of the construction documents to the EDA for review to ensure that the appropriate
federal regulations and provisions are incorporated into the documents. On June 13, the
City received EDA concurrence and authorization to proceed with the project and to
initiate the public bidding process.

predetermined and agreed liquidated damages. The contractor will be separately
invoiced for this amount, and final payment will be withheld until payment has been
