INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
2021 Asphalt Overlay Access Ramp Project 4.
BACKGROUND
The project replaced thirty-three (33) non-compliant curb access ramps and seven (7)
storm water intakes at eight (8) intersections in compliance with the Public Right of Way
Accessibilities Guidelines (PROWAG) specifications. This project was extended into
Spring of 2022 because it got too late in Fall of 2021 to get proper cure time for
concrete and the asphalt plant closing for season. The curb access ramp work was
completed in coordination with the Public Works Departments Asphalt Overlay Program
at the following locations:
1. Jackson Street at E 12th Street, two radius ramps.
2. Jackson Street at E 14th Street, four radius ramps.
3. Jackson Street at E 15th Street, three radius ramps and two storm intakes.
4. Jackson Street at E 16th Street, three double ramps.
5. Jackson Street at E 18th Street, four radius ramps and two storm intakes.
6. Jackson Street at E 19th Street, four radius ramps and two storm intakes.
7. Jackson Street at E 20th Street, one single and three radius ramps.
8. Jackson Street at E 21st Street, two single, two double ramps and one storm
intake.
DISCUSSION
The 2021 Asphalt Overlay Access Ramp Project 4 was completed by Tschiggfrie
Excavating, of Dubuque, IA in the final contract amount of $168,958.94. This is a 5.96%
increase over the original contract amount of $159,452.10. The increase was due to
factors including the following:
• Additional curb repairs at various locations because poor existing rock curb.
• Additional work added at North intersections of 20th St and Jackson to clean up
unnecessary tall curb and concrete islands reducing future maintenance.
• Street and curb repairs due to a Hydrant replacement from the water department
at SW corner Jackson and E 20th St.
RECOMMENDATION

of the final contract amount of $168,958.94 to Tschiggfrie Excavating for the 2021
Asphalt Overlay Access Ramp Project 4.
