PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
W.O. 16-04, 2016 ADA Ramp Replacement Project, is a project consisting of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible ramp construction on the street corners where the City will soon be completing pavement overlays and chip seals 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 along streets constructed or reconstructed after 1992 and in specific areas identified by need. A portion of the ramps will be constructed within the South Side Triangle due to property owner requests and ahead of the 2017 chip seal. The other miscellaneous ramp locations were selected based upon neighborhood requests.
The project was advertised on March 17th and March 24th in the Billings Times and on the City's Website. Bids were opened on March 29, 2016 and three bids were received. J&J Concrete, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid.
