Council approves $348,970 contract for ADA curb ramps to ATEC Concrete
Summary
Staff recommended awarding the annual ADA ramp contract to ATEC Concrete for $348,970 after the apparent low bidder failed to meet experience thresholds; council approved the award by voice vote.
City staff told the council the city had identified 31 priority curb ramps for ADA accessibility and ran a competitive bid. The apparent low bidder withdrew after staff determined it did not meet minimum experience thresholds. Staff recommended awarding the work to the second-low bidder, ATEC Concrete, for $348,970, under the engineering estimate of $403,000.
"We assigned this then to the 2nd low bidder, for the value of $348,970," the city administrator said, noting staff would stagger ramp work with paving to reduce disruptions. The council moved and seconded the motion to award the contract (recorded as Gordon and Claudia) and approved it by voice vote without recorded roll-call tallies.
Councilors asked about consistency of ramp design and the public availability of the project list; staff said the designs will follow the city's engineering standards and that the list of ramp locations would be posted to the agenda packet.
