MEMORANDUM
August 27, 2007
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer .
SUBJECT: Port of Dubuque Recognition Wall Project
(CIP: 7001517 -Port of Dubuque Visitor Amenities)
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract of the
Port of Dubuque Recognition Wall Project.
BACKGROUND
The Port of Dubuque Recognition Wall Project is located on the landward side of the
floodwall adjacent to the American Trust River's Edge Plaza and architecturally displays
and recognizes the organizations and individuals who provided leadership and financial
support to the America's River project.
The Recognition Wall Project was created to recognize the donors and partners of
those who have provided funding for the America's River projects. The architectural
elements and construction materials used in the final design compliment the in-place
directional monument at the intersection of Third and Bell Street. The architectural
aluminum panels incorporate a panoramic digitally-generated river scene image. As one
gets closer to the recognition wall, the names which will be digitally overlayed on the
river scene image become more visible.
The Riverwalk is directly adjacent to this section of existing floodwall which displays the
Recognition Wall Project which will be viewed by those using the American Trust River's
Edge Plaza as well as by those using the Riverwalk southerly landside access ramp.
DISCUSSION
The Port of Dubuque Recognition Wall Project has been completed by Tricon General
Construction of Dubuque, Iowa, in the final contract amount of $155,880.55, which is a
5.3% increase from the original contract in the amount of $148,000.00.
The reason for the cost increase was due to additional work to incorporate a concrete
cap along the top of the floodwall which significantly improved the appearance of the
wall by covering up the chipped and deteriorated top edge of the floodwall. Additional
work was also required to relocate an existing sanitary sewer manhole.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and to authorize the
payment of the contract amount of $155,880.55 to Tricon General Construction.
