I. INTRODUCTION
In March of 2019 the City of Jacksonville adopted an American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Transition Plan. This Plan reaffirmed the City’s commitment of meeting the requirements of the ADA
as well as an initial inventory of the City’s current compliance with ADA regulations. A
significant part of the Plan identified hardscape improvements within the right of ways such as
sidewalks, curb ramps and trails. The City has identified several areas that are in need of
sidewalk repair where there may be a potential tripping hazard (offset of more than ¼” in vertical
change).
The City of Jacksonville is soliciting proposals to expand upon the identification and repair of
potential sidewalk tripping hazards on select streets as identified within this RFP. The area that
the City would like to focus on with this initial effort has been identified in the
Scope of Work.
