RE: 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project No. 3
Acceptance of the Public Improvement Construction Contract
Project No. 5421000002
INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
All -America City
2007.2012.2013
2017*2019
The attached resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project No. 3.
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 No. 3 provided for the replacement of access
ramps in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at the following
locations:
• Montrose Terrace
• Fairview PI & W. 16th Street
• Cornell Street & W. 16th Street
• Catherine Street & W. 16th Street
• Cornell Street & W. 15th Street
• Rosedale Ave
• Henion Street & Pickett Street
• N. Grandview Ave. & Algona Street
• N. Grandview Ave. & Auburn Street
• N. Grandview Ave. & Atlantic Street
• Cornell Street & Pickett Street • Locust Street & Pierce Street
• St. Ambrose Street & Rosedale Ave. Inc. Ramp @ Church

DISCUSSION
The 2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project No. 3 was completed by Valentine
Construction Co., LLC in the final contract amount of $212,562.24, which is 25.2% above
the original contract amount of $169,806.00.
The overage on the project is primarily due to storm sewer intake repairs needed on
Grandview Avenue at Auburn Street. The older style intakes conflicted with the new ADA
ramps and required the relocation and construction of new intakes and storm sewer pipe
to allow the ADA ramps to better align with each other.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the public improvement construction contract
and authorized the payment of $212,562.24 to Valentine Construction Co., LLC for the
2024 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project No. 3.
