INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request permission to proceed with the issuing
of a request for proposals for design and engineering services for the Bee Branch Flood
Control Pumping Station Gates and Primary Electric Service Replacement Project
(Project).
BACKGROUND
The flood gates were installed in the 1950s and modified by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) for the Dubuque's Flood Mitigation System, the John C. Culver
Floodwall, in the early 1970s. The 16th Street Detention Basin discharges into a cutoff
channel of the Mississippi River through twin 12-foot by 12-foot concrete box culverts
under normal river stages. When the Mississippi exceeds flood stage, the flood gates
are closed to prevent the Mississippi River from flooding the landward side of the
floodwall/ levee system.
DISCUSSION
The improvements include the replacement of the flood control gates, repair of the
concrete gate structure and concrete wing walls, installation of check valves on the
pump discharges, and installation of new air release valves at the Mississippi River
floodwall's Bee Branch pumping station. The project also includes the replacement of
the pumping station primary electrical service.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) from consulting engineering firms is under development.
The intent is for the City to hire an engineering firm to develop the design and all
construction documents necessary for review and approval by the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), along with documents necessary for the public bidding of the
Project.
The estimated design and engineering budget for this phase of the project is between
$150,000 and $200,000.
In addition to myself, I propose that the proposal review committee that would make a
recommendation for consideration will consist of Steve Brown, Deron Muehring, John
Klostermann, and Don Vogt.
RUDGETIMPACT
The FY2015 CIP budget includes $300,000 for the engineering & design services
required for the project. This would provide funding for the development of the
construction plans, as well as, engineering services during construction of the
improvements. The FY2016 CIP budget includes $1,800,000 to actually construct the
improvements.
ACTION REQUESTED
I respectfully request approval to release a Request for Proposals and the
establishment of the proposal review committee as proposed.
