Cojo installs ADA-compliant truncated dome panels across Medford and the broader Rogue Valley — retail center curb cuts, Asante and Providence medical campuses, RVTD (Rogue Valley Transportation District) bus-stop platforms, and downtown sidewalk corridors. The Rogue Valley's older sidewalk infrastructure combined with active medical-campus expansion creates a steady ADA path retrofit pipeline. This page covers our Medford service area, Medford Public Works coordination, real install case studies, and how to get scheduled.
For the broader product overview, see our truncated domes guide.
> Compliance disclaimer: Always verify current detectable warning requirements with the City of Medford. This article reflects 2026 federal ADA Standards (28 CFR Part 36, Appendix B), Medford Land Development Code, and Oregon ORS 447.

What Medford Code Applies?
Three layers govern dome installation work in Medford:
- Federal ADA — ADA Standards 705 (dome geometry, contrast), 406.13 (placement at curb ramps), 810.5.2 (transit platforms). Enforced via 28 CFR Part 36.
- Oregon state — ORS 447 (state ADA wrap-around) and the Oregon Structural Specialty Code.
- City of Medford — Medford Land Development Code, Medford Public Works Standards, and Engineering permit guidance.
Medford Public Works issues right-of-way permits for sidewalk and curb-cut work. Lead times run 1 to 3 weeks for standard permits.

| RVTD bus-stop platform retrofit (60 lf typical) | $5,400 to $11,000 |
Current Market Reality
Medford labor and permit costs run similar to Eugene and 8 to 12 percent below Portland metro. Material costs lifted 12 to 18 percent in late 2025 from polymer feedstock pressure on composite panels. Wildfire-zone work in the foothills carries a seasonal coordination layer when fire-season air-quality advisories shut down outdoor labor.
Two Recent Medford Installs
Asante Rogue Regional Path Refresh (2026)
A medical campus path-of-travel refresh required 6 cast-in-place composite panels across two ADA accessible aisles connecting visitor parking to the main entrance. Cojo coordinated the install with the campus facility-management team for off-hours work to minimize patient-flow disruption. Total install ran 2 days; panels passed compliance verification on first inspection.
Crater Lake Avenue Retail Block Retrofit (2026)
A 5-tenant retail block on Crater Lake Avenue needed all 4 sidewalk curb cuts retrofitted before a city ADA enforcement deadline. Cojo coordinated traffic control with Medford Public Works for off-peak hours. Single-day install completed without business disruption.
What Permits Does Cojo Handle?
Cojo coordinates Medford Public Works right-of-way permits, Public Works Standards verification, and traffic-control plans for any sidewalk-side work. For private medical, retail, or HOA properties, only a building permit applies when dome work is part of a larger alteration.
Medford Climate Considerations
Rogue Valley climate puts moderate stress on dome panels:
- Hot dry summers drive UV color fade. Brick red panels lose contrast faster than safety yellow.
- Mild winters have lower freeze-thaw fatigue than Bend or Cascade foothills.
- Wildfire-zone air quality can pause outdoor work for several days during fire season.
Composite panels are the standard product for most Medford retrofits. UV-stable safety yellow is the dominant color choice.
How Does Cojo Coordinate RVTD Platform Work?
Rogue Valley Transportation District Maintenance Manager controls platform access scheduling. RVTD platform-edge work runs on a similar 8-to-16-week lead time as TriMet and Lane Transit because the platform stays in service during the install. See our transit station platforms coverage for the platform-edge product spec.
