Permits are required for all work done within Dubuque County Secondary road rights of way as provided in section 319.14 of the Code of Iowa.

The enclosed is a copy of our standard TILE AGREEMENT form. This form is to be used between adjoining landowners where it is necessary for the Dubuque County Secondary Road Department to place a tile line across the highway right-of-way. Please fill in the appropriate information in the blank areas. For the purposes of this form the PARTY OF THE FIRST PART is assumed to be the downstream landowner, the party that is furnishing the tile outlet. A simple description of the land desiring the tile outlet is needed, such as what quarter section of land it is. Also include the tile size of the tile that is to be carried across the highway right-of-way. After both parties sign the form please return it to the Dubuque County Road Department, 1225 Seippel Rd, Dubuque, IA 52002 or engineer@dubuquecounty.us.

Please advise us of the time schedule for this tile work so we can coordinate our work schedule with your needs as best we can. If you are doing other tile work, we may be interested in having your contractor make the tile crossing. We will need to know the name of your contractor so that proper contact can be made. If there are telephone, electrical, or pipe lines in the road right-of-way please contact the appropriate utility company prior to any work in the area.

If you have any questions about the completion of this form please stop by our office or call 563-557-7283. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Anthony T. Bardgett, P.E. Dubuque County Engineer
