PREAMBLE
The Common Council adopted a plan in 1996 to repair defective sidewalk throughout the City on a ten-year cycle. The plan was updated in 2002, 2012, and 2022 to reflect the completed work and to incorporate the reconstituted aldermanic districts. The 10th and 20th Aldermanic Districts have been scheduled for repairs in 2025.
Offset, settled or badly cracked sidewalk sections are replaced with this program. Costs for the improvement of sidewalk are funded solely by the City in accordance with the City of Madison Policy for the Assessment of Street Improvements. The program is also used to install curb ramps at intersections. Curb ramps are funded solely by the City. Additionally, in an effort to make Madison Metro Transit bus stops ADA compliant, multiple locations will be improved by adding concrete boarding pads. Bus pads are funded solely by the City.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the plans and specifications for the Annual Construction and Reconstruction of Concrete Sidewalk and Incidental Concrete Curb and Gutter Work Ordered (Districts 10 and 20) by the Common Council be and are hereby approved:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Public Works be and is hereby authorized to advertise for and receive bids for the required public works contract.
