We have been getting beat on every ramp we've bid for this company we just got a contract for in a county up the lake from us. Today I had a few home evaluations up north so I checked out one of the ramps we were outbid on (the other 2 haven't been installed yet.)
No wonder that guy outbid us? What kind of hillbilly ramp is this? 32" rise and an 18' ramp with an 11-degree slope on one section, a 9-degree slope on one section and a 7-degree slope on the 3' section. Code by the way is a 5-degree slope.
I don't know if you can tell from this picture but every section of the ramp has different slopes, and the turn platform at the top is not level.
Even this little section's slope is 8-degrees.
I'm spitting nails right now!!

And they didn't even have the entire foot of the ramp on the concrete. They had a wood build-up why couldn't they make this work?
