BV will provide an order of magnitude (pre-planning level) estimate for all items of work necessary to bring each facility into compliance. All estimates will be based upon current year costs without escalation. Escalation factors can be included if preferred by the City. PRIORITY RANKING AND CLASSIFICATION The analysis will include all barriers to be ranked by Priority Classes. The four classes below are DOJ recommended but can be altered to meet your specifications and needs: Priority 1: Accessible Approach and Entrances – An entity providing accommodation to the public is required to take measures to provide access to a place of public accommodation from public sidewalks, parking, or public transportation. These measures include, for example, installing an entrance ramp, correcting tripping hazards or lessening the slope of a curb ramp. At least one route of travel to each amenity or feature should be safe and accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities. Priority 2: Elements along the Accessible Route – Barriers which occur along the path of travel shall be removed, where such a barrier is easily accomplishable. Examples include moving items within reach range, widening doors, installing accessible door hardware, and removing high-pile carpeting. Priority 3: Restroom Facilities – Barrier removal may include widening of toilet stalls, installation of grab bars. replacement of sinks and drinking fountains. Priority 4: Access to All Other Features and Amenities – Measures are required to provide access to other areas. This priority is for items not required for basic access in the other three higher priorities. Page 117 of 242
