PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

W.O. 20-04, 2020 City ADA 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.  The miscellaneous ramp locations were selected based upon neighborhood requests.

The project was advertised on April 17 and 24, 2020, on the City's Website and in Yellowstone County News. Bids were opened on April 28, 2020, and five bids were received.  J&J Concrete, Inc. submitted the lowest bid.  

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED

The Council may:
  • Award Work Order 20-04, 2020 ADA Ramp Replacement Project to J&J Concrete, Inc. in the amount of $202,130.00; or
  • Do not award Work Order 20-04.  If not awarded, the City would need to re-bid or cancel the project and construct the ramps in a subsequent year.
