BUREAU VERITAS TECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS LLC

exported in a Microsoft Excel format with GPS coordinates for easy spreadsheet analysis. Sidewalk data is delivered as connected ten foot segments to match with the collected images and on a block-face system. An accessibility score and pavement score is given to each 10-foot segment and each block-face, which allows for prioritization at both the micro (segment) and macro (block) levels. Curb ramp, transit stop, and pedestrian signal information is delivered as individual GIS point layers containing all associated data and condition scores. The scoring methodology is configurable based on the weighted value assigned to each attribute. ADA Training Bureau Veritas has extensive experience providing comprehensive training on ADA laws, regulations, and compliance best practices. Our team of ADA experts has worked with numerous municipalities across the country to educate staff on the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how to effectively implement and maintain ADA self-evaluation and transition plans. We will work closely with the City to tailor the training curriculum to address the specific needs and responsibilities of designated staff. This will include in- depth instruction on applicable ADA laws and regulations, as well as hands-on guidance for using and maintaining the City’s self-evaluation, transition plan, and associated project database and mapping tools. Our training will ensure that City staff are fully equipped to comply with all ADA requirements within the built environment and sustain ongoing accessibility efforts. We have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, interactive training that empowers public sector clients to proactively address ADA compliance. Transition Plan The field assessment data and costs, programs assessment, and the public rights-of-way data and costs will be brought together in one document to form the Transition Plan. Once the assessments of the programs, buildings, facilities, and parks are complete, data will be analyzed and prioritized. The Transition Plan document will include all identified barriers to accessibility, associated costs for barrier removal, and tentative solutions. Solutions will be discussed with City staff and presented to stakeholders, as needed. Once all facility assessments have been completed, a Draft Transition Plan will be prepared. The Transition Plan will provide a framework for full compliance with the accessibility regulations. The Transition Plan process comprises the following components: • Identification of physical and programmatic barriers in facilities under the City’s jurisdiction. • Determination of the barrier removal remedy and an order of magnitude estimate of the cost of the barrier removal required to eliminate the physical barrier or discriminatory practice. • Assignment of priority level to the barrier removal. • Formulation of the Transition Plan within the parameters of projected fiscal year budget constraints. Within the Transition Plan, BV notes work that shall remove physical and programmatic barriers in existing facilities, and communication barriers structural in nature, where such removal is able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense. This document will outline in detail the steps required for the City to achieve accessibility compliance. Where the Transition Plan identifies work which will take longer than one year to complete, a multi-year schedule with priorities will be provided. Results of the initial public outreach and the advice of the City’s ADA Compliance Team will be incorporated into the Transition Plan. The Transition Plan can establish phases of barrier removal, without a calendar timeframe. To the extent that a facility, program, service, or activity is not going to be fully accessible to and usable by people with disabilities in the immediate future, we will work with the ADA Compliance Team to determine the best interim procedure or policy in order to enhance accessibility to the maximum extent possible. BV will meet with the ADA Compliance Team to present a Draft Transition Plan and gain its input and commentary on the Draft Transition Plan prior to presentation to the community. The ADA requires that a public entity solicit and allow for the participation of interested persons in the development of a Transition Plan. The public outreach effort for the Draft Transition Plan will include advertisements in local newspapers in the weeks leading up to a public meeting for presentation of the draft Transition Plan. It will be the responsibility of the City to post notice of the public meeting on the City’s website. Following the public meeting, BV will meet with the ADA Compliance Team to review all applicable commentary and to make choices regarding the draft final plan to be presented to the City. Regular maintenance or rehabilitation projects and that accessibility projects are blended into other scheduled work, when possible. Docusign Envelope ID: 7CF951A9-F5A4-4F8B-B02B-90C4522C309B
