Ratekin, Assistant City Engineer <br /> SUBJECT: Sidewalk Curb Ramps <br /> City Project 9437 <br /> As required by Federal regulations in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the City of <br /> Decatur is to provide accessibility to all public facilities. Besides buildings this also includes the City's <br /> sidewalk system. When the Federal Government originally passed the ADA legislation an unrealistic <br /> goal of making all sidewalks to be ADA accessible was proposed. Recent court decisions have <br /> determined that only sidewalks adjacent to roads which have either been reconstructed or resurfaced <br /> must be made accessible. <br /> The City has proposed to placed the necessary curb ramps in a multi-year program. We are <br /> proposing to complete 57 intersections under this contract . We anticipate that a program similar to this <br /> one will be proposed for several years to come. Once all required sidewalk curb ramps have been <br /> installed a yearly rehabilitation project will then be considered. <br /> Bids were received on October 27, 1994, for the subject Sidewalk Curb Ramps Project. The results <br /> of the letting aze as follows: <br /> Compared to <br /> Contractor Bid Price En�ineer's Est. <br /> Engineer's Estimate $ 153,832.50 -------- <br /> A.G.W.
