INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2024 Airport ADA Ramp Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND
The ADA ramps at the Dubuque Regional Airport Terminal and parking lot were installed
approximately 10 years ago. Since that time, the plastic ADA detectable warning tiles have
been worn down or have broken in spots. The detectable warning panels are no longer
compliant in many areas in front of the terminal and in the parking lots.
DISCUSSION
The project will include the removal and replacement of ADA ramps and detectable
warnings. The detectable warning panels will be replaced with cast iron plates, the same as
the ones being installed on all City of Dubuque ADA curb ramp projects. The cast iron
detectable warning plates are much more durable and can handle changing weather
conditions and snow removal operations. This project will replace ADA ramps and detectable
warning panels in 16 areas.
BID RESULTS
The City solicited four bids for this project. The City received sealed bids on June 20, 2024,
for the Airport ADA Ramp Replacement Project. Midwest Concrete, Inc. of Peosta, Iowa,
submitted the low bid in the amount of $58,987.40. Which is 6.78% below the engineer's
estimate. A summary of the bid proposals received is as follows:
