The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Woodward Museum - 2002 Renovations Project
The Woodward Museum, owned by the Dubuque County Historical Society, was notified
shortly after the February 4, 2002 Council meeting that it did not have environmental
concurrence from the Iowa Department of Transportation that is required prior to
initiating the bid process. IDOT further indicated that the concurrence and
authorization to proceed would take approximately six to eight weeks before completion.
Therefore, Public Works Director Mike Koch recommends that the City Council rescind
the resolutions passed on February 4, 2002, that initiated the bidding process for the
multiple construction contracts associated with the Woodward Museum - 2002
Renovations Project.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

MEMORANDUM
February 12, 2002
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
Woodward Museum -2002 Renovations Project
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request that the City Council rescind the
resolutions passed on February 4, 2002, that initiated the bidding process for the
multiple construction contracts associated with the Woodward Museum - 2002
Renovations Project.
DISCUSSION
The Woodward Museum - 2002 Renovations Project includes seven individual
projects coordinated by the Dubuque County Historical Society (DCHS), the Iowa
Department of Transportation (IDOT), and the City staff.
Shortly after the February 4, 2002 Council Meeting, the Woodward Museum,
owned by the Dubuque County Historical Society, was notified that it did not have
environmental concurrence from the Iowa Department of Transportation that is
required prior to initiating the bid process. IDOT further indicated that the
concurrence and authorization to proceed would take approximately six to eight
weeks before completion.
Therefore, based on this noncompliance, it is necessary to rescind the
resolutions initiating the bidding process. The project will be submitted to the
City Council again once environmental concurrence and authorization for bidding
is received.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to rescind the resolutions passed on February 4,
2002, for the Woodward Museum - 2002 Renovations Project, including the
preliminary approval of the plans and specifications, setting the date of hearing
on the plans and specifications, and ordering bids for the project.
