The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project Three.
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 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
The 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project Three will provide for the replacement of access
ramps on Montrose Terrace and Rosedale areas in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt
Overlay program at the following locations:
