DATE: May 12, 2025
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2025 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project Two.
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 2025 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project Two will provide for the replacement of
access ramps in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at the
following locations:
1. Woodlawn at Chippewa Street, two single directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps and
storm sewer intake replacement.
2. Mid -block Chippewa Street, replacement of two storm sewer intakes.
3. Woodlawn at Karen Street, two single& two double directional ADA sidewalk curb
ramps.
4. Woodlawn at Lindale Street, two single & one non -directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
5. Kevindale at Karen Street, two single directional ADA curb ramps.
6. Kevindale at Lindale Street, curb replacement.
7. Kaufmann at North Grandview Avenue, four single & two double directional ADA
sidewalk curb ramps. Replacement of four storm sewer intakes.
