ADA-Compliant Curb Ramp Installation

Kern County has contracted for the design and construction of ADA-compliant curb ramps at six designated crosswalk locations in Oildale and East Bakersfield to improve pedestrian accessibility and ensure compliance with federal accessibility standards. The project involves the complete installation of new curb ramps at intersections, including proper slope gradients, detectable warning surfaces, and alignment with existing sidewalks to facilitate safe and independent mobility for individuals with disabilities. All work must adhere to current ADA guidelines and local municipal codes, with construction activities scheduled to minimize disruption to traffic and pedestrian pathways during peak hours. This subcontract falls under NAICS code 238290 for other heavy and civil engineering construction, indicating it encompasses specialized infrastructure work beyond general civil projects. The contract was posted on July 1, 2026, and places of performance are limited to the specified areas within Bakersfield, with no additional set-aside provisions or organization type restrictions noted. The project is part of broader efforts to modernize public infrastructure in underserved neighborhoods and ensure equitable access to city amenities. All work is expected to be completed in accordance with state and federal regulations, with final inspections required to verify ADA compliance before project closeout.
