INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project Two Project.
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.
The 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project Two provided for the replacement of access
ramps on Fenelon Place from Burch Street to Raymond Place in conjunction with the
Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at the following locations:
Burch Street at Northern Alley, two single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Burch Street and Fenelon Place, two single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Burch Street at Southern Alley, two single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Burch Street at 3rd Street, one single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Summit Street at 5th Street, two single directional ADA curb ramps.
Summit Street at Northern Alley, two single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
Summit Street at Central Alley, two single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.

in the final contract amount of $156,388.18 which is 1.3% above the original contract
amount of $154,422.00.
