McNabb,Director of Public Works ��� <br /> Stephen P. Swanson, City Engineer�� <br /> SUBJECT: Sidewalk Curb Ramps for ADA <br /> City Project 9727 <br /> The City's annual sidewalk curb ramp program involves the installation of wheelchair <br /> accessible ramps to comply with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). An annual <br /> program was set up to address the budgetary problem of installing all the ramps needed <br /> throughout the City. In addition, the annual program has enabled the City to undertake this <br /> program in a systematic approach and coordinate this work with other projects. This avoids the <br /> situation of having to remove and replace newly constructed improvements. <br /> Ramps are constructed at locations where the e�usting curb prohibits access to the City's I <br /> sidewalk system by wheelchair users. The work consists of removing existing curb and sidewalk <br /> and constructing a concrete ramp to required specifications. Locations for each year's program <br /> are typically selected from paving projects from previous years. This is done to minimize having <br /> to make grade adjustments between ramps and the street's final pavement overlay. In addition, <br /> some locations are selected as the result of citizen inquiries. This year's program includes ramp <br /> installation at 221ocations in the City. <br /> The project was prepared by the Engineering Division. Bids were received and opened on <br /> Thursday, July 10, 1997. The results (copy of the bid tabulation is attached) of the letting are as <br /> follows: <br />
