RE: 2023 Asphalt Overlay Ramp Project Four
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2023 Asphalt Overlay Ramp Project Four.
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 lowa 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
The 2023 Asphalt Overlay Ramp Project Four will provide for the replacement of fourteen (14)
access ramps at 6 intersections in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay program
at the following locations:
Judson Dr at Asbury Rd, two single directional ramps.
Judson Dr at Vail Trail Ct, two single and one double directional ramp.
Judson Dr at Powers Ct, two single directional ramps.
