TRIP HAZARD REMEDY

The City of Bloomington, MN, is soliciting quotes for project 26-58, which involves high-volume sidewalk trip-hazard assessment and remediation. The scope of work is divided into two primary phases: a comprehensive field survey to identify and inventory vertical panel offsets of 0.5 to 1.5 inches, and the subsequent physical remediation using precision dry saw-cutting. Deliverables include a digital inventory report with GPS coordinates, GIS-compatible location files, and a cost comparison between saw-cutting and full replacement. All repairs must adhere to ADA standards, specifically requiring a 1:12 slope ratio to ensure smooth transitions, and must comply with OSHA silica dust regulations. The contract will be awarded to the selected low bidder based on all-inclusive pricing per inch-foot of saw-cutting, which covers both the survey and the repair. Proposals must be submitted via the Bids and Tenders online platform by September 29, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Qualified vendors must provide a Responsible Contractor Verification and Certification of Compliance, prove adherence to Minnesota labor and wage laws, and maintain required worker's compensation insurance. While the City prefers completion in the fall before snowfall, the final schedule for the designated project areas will be mutually agreed upon following the award. Payment will be made via monthly progress invoices within 30 days of submission.
