Bozeman Parking Commission
REPORT TO: Bozeman Parking Commission
FROM: Ed Meece, Parking Program Manager
SUBJECT: Purchase and installation of twenty-eight handrails in Bridger Park
Downtown Garage.
MEETING DATE: May 11, 2017
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Parking Program Manager to sign a Professional
Services Agreement with Midwest Welding&Machine for the purchase and installation of twenty-
eight handrails in Bridger Park Downtown Garage.
BACKGROUND: The elevator/stairwell landings in the Bridger Park Downtown Garage are
raised above the garage floor. The installation of handrails helps to prevent situations where an
individual does not notice the uneven surface transition (despite the yellow paint markings),
thereby hopefully avoiding injury from a fall. This project is a priority of the Administration since
the resolution of litigation in a similar situation. The handrails will be installed in compliance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other applicable rules and regulations.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The FY 17 Parking Services Division annual operating budget
reflects an appropriation of $165,000.00 in line item # 650-33100-424.80-80 "Capital:
Administrative — Buildings". The total cost of this project, $31,160.00 will be charged against
those funds.
