ADA Transition Committee 04-28-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut's ADA Transition Committee held a special meeting on April 28, 2026, primarily to discuss procurement and budget issues related to two key ADA capital projects: the City Hall curb ramp project and the Norwalk Concert Hall restroom renovation. The committee reviewed bid results, noting that bids for both projects came in higher than anticipated, with the curb ramp base bid at $111,480 plus a 20% contingency and the restroom renovation low bid at $397,700. Due to budget constraints and bid amounts, the committee agreed to reallocate funds within the ADA capital budget, including shifting $154,970 from service counter upgrades to cover the restroom project costs. The committee unanimously voted to approve the fund reallocation to proceed with both projects, emphasizing the importance of completing these ADA improvements within the current construction season to avoid losing allocated funds. The discussion also included prioritizing smaller service counter projects for the remainder of the year and deferring larger counter renovations to the next budget cycle.
