INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract 9th Street and
11th Street One-way to Two-way Conversion Project.
DISCUSSION
This project involved the conversion of the following streets from one way to two way traffic:
• 9th Street between Locust Street and Kerper Boulevard
• 10th Street between Bluff Street and Central Avenue
• 11th Street between Central Avenue and Kerper Boulevard
• Elm Street from 9th Street to 11 th Street
• Pine Street from 9th Street to 11th Street
The construction work involved the reconfiguration of traffic signals at existing intersections, new
pavement markings, new signage, fiber optic vaults and conduit and pedestrian access ramps.
The two-way traffic pattern on the aforementioned streets began on August 17, 2014.
The railroad crossing signals on 9th street near Elm Street and on 11th Street near Elm Street
were relocated to allow for two-way traffic. City staff coordinated with Canadian Pacific Railroad to
perform this work.
City of Dubuque Engineering coordinated closely with the Iowa Department of Transportation
(IDOT) on this project. IDOT staff reviewed the proposed construction documents and concurred
with the conversion of the streets to two-way.
The 9th Street and 11th Street One-way to Two-way Conversion Project was completed by
Portzen Construction of Dubuque, Iowa, in the final contract amount of$813,528.35, which is a
2.1% increase from the original contract of$797,011.20. This increase is due to additional work
needed for the ADA ramps and additional temporary signage required for the traffic conversion.

$813,528.35 for the 9th Street and 11 th Street One-way to Two-way Conversion Project.
