W.O. 17-04, 2017 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 on Division Street ahead of the MDT pavement overlay project.  The other miscellaneous ramp locations were selected based upon neighborhood requests.

The project was advertised on April 13th and April 20th in the Billings Times and on the City's Website. Bids were opened on April 25, 2017 and seven bids were received.  LGI Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid.

The Council may:

• Award Work Order 17-04, 2017 ADA Ramp Replacement Project to LGI Construction in the amount of $249,190; or
• Do not award Work Order 17-04.  If not awarded, the City would need to re-bid or cancel the project and construct the ramps in a subsequent year.
