The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the City Council with information related
to the recommendation for awarding the Public Improvement Construction Contract for
the 2026 Public Works Asphalt Overlay Program, Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project - Bid
Package 2.
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 challenges 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 Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for
Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right -of -Way (PROWAG) standard. These are the
most current standards to use for facilities in public right-of-way and addressed issues
brought up since the original ADA standards were developed. Both the Iowa
Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) adopted PROWAG and require all cities that receive federal or state funding to
follow these standards.
DISCUSSION
The 2026 Public Works Asphalt Overlay Program, Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project - Bid
Package 2 will provide for the replacement of 10 access curb ramps, adjacent street
pavement work, curb and gutter replacement, sidewalks, and landscape restoration
work. This project is in coordination with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at
the following locations:
• University Ave. from Pennsylvania Ave. to Loras Blvd. — 10 Ramps
