The purpose of this memorandum is to award the construction contract for the 2022
Asphalt Overlay Ramp Project 2.
BACKGROUND
Since 1990, the City of Dubuque has installed pedestrian access ramps around the City
of Dubuque to conform with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The pedestrian
access ramps allow people with mobility difficulties to access the City's sidewalk system.
The design standards for these ramps have evolved over time as more ramps have been
installed and standards have changed.
Since 2011, The City of Dubuque has followed the "Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for
Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right -of -Way." These are updated standards to use for
facilities in the public right-of-way and addressed issues brought up since the original
ADA standards were developed. The Iowa Department of Transportation has adopted the
PROWAG standards. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has also adopted the
standards and requires all cities that receive federal funding to follow these standards.
DISCUSSION
This project includes the replacement of twenty-eight (28) access ramps, two (2) intake
replacements and curb and sidewalk repairs at 12 intersections in conjunction with the
Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at the following locations:
1. Auburn Street at University Ave, one single ramp.
2. Auburn Street alley between University Ave and Grace Street, two single ramps.
3. Grace Street at Griggs Street, two single ramps.
4. Grace Street at Ida Street, two single ramps.
5. Grace Street at alley East of 1819 Grace Street, two single ramps.
6. Bennett Street at alley East of 1755 Bennett Street, two single ramps.
7. Bennett Street at alley East of 1854 Bennett Street, two single ramps.
8. Bennett Street at Griggs Street, two single ramps.
9. Bennett Street at McCormick Street, one single ramp.
10. Bennet Street at N. Algona Street, curb, and sidewalk replacement.
11. Chaney Street at St. Anne Drive, two single and 2 double ramps.
12. Chaney Street at Hillcrest Road, two single and two double ramps.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
The Public Works Department will mail letters to property owners and the Engineering
Department has developed door hangers for residents notifying residents of the overlay
and ramp project.
