Ward council approves moving forward with bids for city hall ADA upgrades estimated at $226,000
Summary
Council authorized staff to begin the bidding process for ADA upgrades to city hall — including front-entry accessibility and restroom upgrades — with an estimated cost of $226,000; prior grant searches were unsuccessful and bidding may be staged to reduce immediate cost impact.
Council discussed proposed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements at City Hall, including an accessible front entry and upgrading back restrooms, with a meeting estimate of $226,000. The mayor said their previous grant application under a governor’s community improvement program was not successful because many approved grants were child-related rather than ADA-focused.
Council voted to proceed with the bid process; members noted bids can be structured in segments so the city can select portions of work rather than committing to the entire project at once. Staff will obtain bids and return with cost details so the council can determine whether to fund the work in-house or continue pursuing external grants.
Why it matters: ADA upgrades would improve accessibility to city facilities. The estimated cost is preliminary and subject to competitive bidding.
Next steps: City staff to work with the architect to bid the project, segment bids as appropriate, and present firm cost estimates to the council for approval.
