INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions provide for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
2018 Asphalt Overlay Access Ramp Project Three.
BACKGROUND
The project replaced thirty-one non-compliant access ramps with 37- compliant,
directional ramps as per Public Right of Way Accessibilities Guidelines (PROWAG)
specifications in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay Program and
involved the intersections of:
• Green Street & Av�ca Street: two double ramps, two single ramps and
reconstruction of four storm water intakes to make compliant ramps possible.
• Green Street & Alta Place: two single ramps.
• Green Street & North Algona Street: one single ramp, one double ramp and
reconstruction of one storm water intake.
• Dexter Street & North Algona Street: one double ramp, one single ramp and
reconstruction of tree storm water intakes.
• Dexter Street & Auburn Street: two single ramps.
• Dexter Street & Atlantic Street: four single ramps and reconstruction of three
storm water intakes, to make compliant ramps possible.
• Delaware Street and Atlantic Street: four single ramps.
• Delaware Street and Auburn Street: four single ramps.
• Delaware Street and North Algona Street: two single ramps.
• Delaware Street and Alta Place: one double ramp and two single ramps.
• Delaware Street and Avoca Street: one single ramp and one double ramp.
DISCUSSION
The 2018 Asphalt Overlay Access Ramp Project Three was completed by Midwest
Concrete Inc. in the final contract amount of $139,018.81, 11.2% over the contract
amount of$125,059.00. Ten storm water intakes required reconstruction because of
their location and the inability to work around them with the new ramp installations, the
cost of these were $41,930.00 collectively, which was greater than estimated due to
necessary design changes; sidewalk and curb replacement were also more than
estimated, which is not unusual when making the required slopes for PROWAG. The
average cost per ramp was $2,62�.00.
