INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions authorize the public bidding procedure for the Historic Old
Main Street -Lighting and Sidewalk Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND
The current streetlights along Historic Old Main Street from 1St to 5th street are
scheduled to be replaced due to high maintenance. The sidewalks are also scheduled
to be replaced to match the current downtown sidewalk pattern.
DISCUSSION
This project provides for the replacement of all street lights and traffic signals from 1St
Street to 5th Street. The replacement of the street lights and intersection lights will be
with historic looking fixtures. It is planned to replace the existing street lights with 20 -
12' high historic street lights and 8 - 25' high historic intersection street lights. This
lighting will be similar to what was installed at Washington Park.
The project will include the total reconstruction of the traffic signals located at 3~d and
Main and at 4th and Main to include count-down pedestrian signals, pre-emption
capabilities and battery backup systems along with fiber optic communications conduit.
New historic lighting equipment and traffic control equipment have already been
purchased for the project to eliminate the long lead time in ordering. These lighting
controllers will also be able to support any future reconstruction of street lights around
the Five Flags Center.
In conjunction with this lighting replacement, the project provides for the replacement of
the existing sidewalk and pedestrian access curb ramps with buff colored sidewalk to
match the historic downtown sidewalk standard. In addition, an asphalt street overlay of
Main Street from 1St Street to 5th Street will be included as part of the 2007 Asphalt
Paving Program and coordinated with this project.
PROJECT COORDINATION
In an effort to inform and involve the impacted property owners along Main Street, city
staff met on several occasions with the property owners and staff of Dubuque Main
Street Ltd.
Engineering staff held three large-group meetings and on-site individual property owner
meetings to review the planned improvements. During these discussions, the property
owners were not in agreement with the assessable portion of the project for the
decorative concrete sidewalk replacement.
On March 16, 2006, Engineering formally presented the project before the Historic
Preservation Commission (HPC) for review and comments. HPC supported and
approved the project. A work session was then held on March 27, 2006, with City
Council to review the project and to discuss the decorative concrete sidewalk issue.
After this meeting, the property owners understood how the Historic District Public
Improvement Program (HDPIP) grant would benefit the assessable portion of the
project.
During the planning phase (March through December, 2006), it was discovered that
several basements or structures from properties extended under the existing sidewalk.
In some instances the existing sidewalk is the ceiling of the basement for a particular
property. City staff met with these property owners and discussed ways to deal with
these basements or structures during the removal of the existing sidewalk and the
construction of the new sidewalk.
This particular section of Main Street was part of the original town site for the City of
Dubuque. The city lots in that part of the city abut each other with right-of-way
easements over the lots rather than platted street right-of-way. The City is obligated to
maintain the easement for street and sidewalk use; however, the property owner has
the obligation to maintain any basement structure under the street or sidewalk .
Based on the referenced information, the Engineering Department retained the services
of IIW Engineers & Surveyors, PC (IIW) to determine alternatives to resolve the conflict
between the proposed sidewalk construction and the basements and structures
encroaching under the sidewalk area. Since the property owners have the right to
maintain their respective basement structures inside the street/sidewalk right-of-way,
coupled with the fact that these basements have minimal usage, it is the
recommendation of the Engineering Department that the City could assume the
expense of abandonment of these basement structures. This work would be performed
by the contractor as part of Historic Old Main Street Lighting and Sidewalk Replacement
Project award. If the impacted property owner opts to retain its basement structure
under the street/sidewalk right-of-way, the property owner would need to execute a
"hold harmless" agreement for any work performed by the City.
On December 14, 2006, a meeting was again held with the property owners to review
the project schedule and the estimated preliminary assessments.
CONSTRUCTION PHASING
This project will need to be constructed in multiple phases to accommodate the needs
of the property owners abutting the project. Several property owners have voiced
specific needs to limit the disruption of their business during the construction of the
project. Engineering will incorporate in the plans as best as possible to limit the
disturbance to the businesses on Lower Main by multi-phasing the project.
PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS
The property owners abutting the project limits will be directly assessed for the sidewalk
removal and installation. The City of Dubuque will pay for the first two feet of the
sidewalk directly behind the curb as part of the historic lighting portion of the project.
The remaining ± 9 feet of the project will be split 25 percent (25%) for the property
owner, with the remaining 75 percent (75%) to be paid for with a Historic District Public
Improvement Program (HDPIP) grant of $100,000.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS
Notice is given that there is now on file for public inspection in the office of the
City Clerk of Dubuque, Iowa, a proposed Resolution of Necessity, an estimate of
probable cost, and a Preliminary Schedule of Assessments showing the amounts
proposed to be assessed against each lot and the valuation of each lot within a district
approved by the City Council of Dubuque, Iowa, for an improvement of the type(s) and
in the location(s) as follows:
The Historic Old Main Street -Lighting and Sidewalk Replacement Project
provides for the replacement of all street lights and traffic signals from 1St Street to Stn
Street. The replacement of the street lights and intersection lights will be with historic
looking fixtures. It is planned to replace the existing street lights with 20 - 12' high
historic street lights and 8 - 25' high historic intersection street lights.
The project will include the total reconstruction of the traffic signals located at 3`~
and Main and at 4tn and Main to include count-down pedestrian signals, pre-emption
capabilities and battery backup systems along with fiber optic communications conduit.
New historic lighting equipment and traffic control equipment have already been
purchased for the project to eliminate the long lead time in ordering. These lighting
controllers will also be able to support any future reconstruction of street lights around
the Five Flags Center.
In conjunction with this lighting replacement, the project provides for the
replacement of the existing sidewalk and pedestrian access curb ramps with buff
colored sidewalk to match the historic downtown sidewalk standard.
That the proposed district to be benefited and subject to assessment for the cost
of such improvements is described as follows:
Main Street, from 1st to 5th Street
All property abutting the area described.
The City Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. on the Stn day of March, 2007, at the Public
Library Auditorium, 360 West 11 to Street, at which time the owners of property subject to
assessment for the proposed improvement or any other person having an interest in the
matter may appear and be heard for or against the making of the improvement, the
boundaries of the district, the cost, the assessment against any lot, or the final adoption
of a Resolution of Necessity. A property owner will be deemed to have waived all
objections unless at the time of hearing he has filed objections with the City Clerk.
Any visual- or hearing-impaired persons needing special assistance or persons
with special accessibility needs should contact the City Clerk's office at (563) 589-4120
