W.O. 15-04, 2015 ADA Ramp Replacement Project, is a project consisting of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible ramp construction on the corners of Broadwater Avenue from 16th to Glen Drive, Nutter Boulevard from Nutter Circle to Erickson Court, and on other corners at various locations throughout Billings.

The annual ramp construction project is in accordance with the City’s agreement with the Department of Justice to install/upgrade ramps within the City along streets constructed or reconstructed after 1992. The ramps on Broadwater Avenue were selected to follow the water main replacement project ahead of the next overlay and the ramps on Nutter were selected to complete all remaining ramps on Nutter.  The other miscellaneous ramp locations were selected based upon specific neighborhood requests.

The project was advertised on April 16th and April 23rd in the Billings Times and on the City's Website. Bids were opened on April 28, 2015 and four bids were received.  J&J Concrete, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid.

• Award Work Order 15-04, 2015 ADA Ramp Replacement Project to J&J Concrete, Inc. in the amount of $166,400; or
