ADA Ramps and Railings

This contract concerns the design, fabrication, and installation of a pre‑engineered aluminum ramp and stair system that meets ADA accessibility and International Building Code requirements for the Metzenbaum Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The County required a single vendor to supply both the ramp and the associated railings, mandated registration with the County Inspector General and the Lawson electronic purchasing system, and imposed stringent insurance coverages (CGL, workers’ comp, automobile liability, umbrella, and builders risk) with the County named as additional insured. The technical specifications call for extruded 6061‑T6 aluminum components, 42‑in. guardrails, 36‑in. handrails, a maximum 1:12 slope, and load capacities of 100 psf live load and 300 lb concentrated loads. The award status is “Awarded,” though the winning vendor’s identity is inferred as Upside Innovations, LLC.
