TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Key West Drive Water Main Extension
DATE: February 12, 2016
Water Department Manager Bob Green is recommending approval of a water main
extension along Key West Drive ahead of the previous Fiscal Year 2017 schedule.
The City recently received notification that Dubuque County is proceeding with the
reconstruction of Key West Drive. The scope of this project is to reconstruct Key West
Drive from Oregon Street to Military Road. The reconstruction project by the county
presents an opportunity to partner with them; as the road is under construction, a water
main can be constructed along the same corridor. This will avoid damage to the new
pavement at a later date. For the same reason, this project would cost about $156,000
more to stub-in residential water service lines. This cost would be recovered through
connection fees at a later date.
This water main extension is part of a critical link of the City's water distribution system
to provide product along the Southwest Arterial, as well as providing a second feed line
to the Airport and the Twin Ridge subdivision area.
To meet the county's proposed project timeline, the City is required to fast track this
project. The project will consist of the construction of approximately 3,650 feet of 16
inch water main, with appropriate valves and fire hydrants, and the installation of
approximately 56 residential water service line stub-ins.
The estimated cost for this project is $818,000 and Bob Green has identified funding
sources.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request support of a water main extension along
Key West Drive ahead of schedule. This extension will provide a link to the proposed
Southwest Arterial and a second feed line to both the Airport and the Twin Ridge
subdivision area.
Discussion
We recently received notification that the county is proceeding with the reconstruction of
Key West Drive. The scope of this project is to reconstruct Key West Drive from Oregon
Street to Military Road. The reconstruction project by the county presents an
opportunity to partner with them; as the road is under construction, a water main can be
constructed along the same corridor.
This water main extension is part of a critical link of our water distribution system to
provide product along the Southwest Arterial, as well as providing a second feed line to
the Airport and the Twin Ridge subdivision area.
To meet the county's proposed project time line, we are required to fast track this
project. Our project will consist of the construction of approximately 3,650 feet of 16 inch
water main, with appropriate valves and fire hydrants, and the installation of
approximately 56 residential water service line stub-ins.
The estimated cost for this project is $818,000.
Funding
The recommended funding for this project is as follows:
CIP NAME FUNDS
FY16 740-2594 Southwest Arterial $ 494,500
FY17 740-2594 Southwest Arterial $ 662,000
Total Estimated Available Funds $1,156,500
Total Estimated Project Cost 818 000
Total Reserve Balance $318,500

The Water Department recommends the remaining funds stay within this CIP to provide
continued utility support along the Southwest Arterial.
Our proposed funding includes $662,000 from our 2017 fiscal year budget. Since this
budget plan has not been approved, I recommend an alternate funding source to
support this project.
The following CIP funds are recommended as an alternate funding source:
CIP NAME FUNDS
FY16 740-1411 Water Main Extension $ 323,500
It would be my recommendation to freeze these current funds in support of this project
until such time the budget for fiscal year 2017 has been approved.
Action
I am available to discuss and answer any questions you may have.
