RE: Award Recording Memo 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project One
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project One.
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 follows the 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 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project One will provide for the replacement of access
ramps on Bluff Street from 10t" to 12t" Street in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt
Overlay program at the following locations:
Bluff Street and 12t"Street, four non-directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
12cn Street and Locust Street, two non-directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Bluff Street and 11t"Street, four non-directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Bluff Street and 10t"Street, four single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
