108098 | Citywide ADA Ramps 2 (Philadelphia City)

This project will include the design and construction of ADA ramps that were transitioned from other Federal Aid projects, including, but not limited to, Center City SE Quad Signals (MPMS #17655), Passyunk Ave Signals (MPMS #16987), 52nd St. Streetscape (MPMS #17829), Citywide Resurfacing 103 (MPMS #91837), and various streetscape projects; and as well as ramps located on Center City Philadelphia Federal Aid routes that were repaved with local funding. The ramps would have typically been included as design build items in the project contracts, however, in some instances, the urban context of the ADA ramp locations warrants further coordination or study. To allow the original construction projects to proceed in a timely fashion, these ramps were pulled from the original construction contracts, and will now be addressed as part of this transition project. This will allow the City to design and construct the ramps to current ADA requirements while providing for stairs, cellar doors, unique paving materials, adjacent historic properties and other considerations as necessary.
