CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET 3-17-26 (3)

Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION An ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (ASETP) is required for public entities with 50 or more employees to evaluate current services, policies, and facilities and to identify and schedule the actions needed to achieve program accessibility. The ASETP serves as a practical guide for identifying and correcting physical and policy barriers that could prevent individuals with disabilities from accessing City programs, services, and facilities, and for demonstrating continued compliance with applicable federal requirements. The ASETP will document barriers, establish priorities, and provide an implementation approach—including planning-level cost estimates and phasing considerations—to guide removal of identified barriers for community members with disabilities. The review will evaluate accessibility associated with City programs, policies, and services; City facilities; parks; parking lots; and the public right-of-way (including streets, intersections, sidewalks, and access ramps). The effort is anticipated to include evaluation of approximately 69 buildings (including public spaces, restrooms, and paths of travel), 360 miles of sidewalks, 1,850 curb ramps, 266 bus stops, and 125 signalized intersections. Work elements include field surveys and site assessments, as well as public outreach to solicit community input. The work is anticipated to take approximately one year and will be documented in three deliverables: the ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, the Public Right-of-Way Asset Survey Report, and the Facilities Survey Report. The resulting data will support the City’s Facility Master Plan, and updated condition information will be incorporated into the City’s Asset Management Program to inform future capital planning and implementation efforts. REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS City staff issued a qualifications-based Request for Proposals (RFP) and received two proposals on December 23, 2025. Both firms were well-qualified and demonstrated extensive experience in this specialized practice area. Given the limited number of firms that specialize in comprehensive ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan updates and large-scale public right- of-way accessibility field assessments, the level of response was consistent with expectations. A third prospective proposer was invited but ultimately declined to submit due to staffing limitations. Based on evaluations of the written proposals, interviews, and reference checks, staff recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Bureau Veritas Technical Assessments LLC in an amount not to exceed $435,276. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY An ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan advances the City of Pleasanton’s equity and sustainability goals by systematically identifying and prioritizing removal of barriers that limit access to City facilities, programs, and the public right-of-way—improving mobility and safety for residents and visitors with disabilities, seniors, and others who rely on accessible walking, rolling, and transit connections. By integrating ADA upgrades into the Capital Improvement Program and routine maintenance (e.g., curb ramps, sidewalks, crossings, and signals), the City can deliver improvements more efficiently, reduce rework and long-term costs, and ensure that Complete Streets, climate, and resilience projects maintain continuous accessible routes. Overall, the Transition Plan provides a transparent, measurable framework for equitable investment and durable infrastructure that supports inclusive access and reduced reliance on Page 107 of 242
