Council awards contract for ADA pedestrian ramp work and crosswalk islands at Ninth Street
Summary
The council approved a contract for installation of concrete crosswalk islands and pedestrian ramps at Ninth Street and Alder, with staff authorized to finalize the contract; councilors discussed asphalt patching and coordination to finish adjoining roadway work.
The Dundee City Council approved a bid award and authorized the city administrator to enter a contract for installation of pedestrian ramp upgrades and crosswalk islands at Ninth Street and Alder (Ninth and Boulder referenced in motion). The work follows an engineering redesign to bring ramps into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards after initial sidewalk approaches were found noncompliant.
Staff explained the project includes concrete work to form new ADA-compliant ramps and fill existing openings where poles were removed; the concrete contractor will not perform asphalt paving, so staff plan to schedule a local asphalt contractor to complete adjacent pavement repairs and any speed-bump installations the council requested.
Councilors discussed the sequence of work, whether temporary patching could make ramps usable pending final asphalt work, and coordination with other city paving projects to avoid duplicate mobilization. The motion to award the contract and authorize the city administrator to execute it passed by unanimous voice vote.
