<br />SCOPE OF WORK <br /> <br /> General Statement of Understanding <br />Bureau Veritas Technical Assessments LLC (BV) understands <br />that it will provide consulting services to ensure the City of <br />Pleasanton (City) complies with all aspects of the Americans <br />with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Federal ADA Accessibility <br />Guidelines (ADAAG), American Barriers Act (ABA), State <br />Building Code, and local accessibility regulations with <br />regards to its programs, services, public buildings, facilities, <br />and paths of travel. The work will ultimately culminate in <br />the production of an ADA Transition Plan, which will include <br />a schedule of improvements necessary to meet the ADA, <br />the State, and local accessibility requirements, associated <br />order of magnitude cost estimates for barrier removal, <br />a prioritized list of improvements, and a timeline for <br />completion of needed improvements or modifications. <br /> <br />EXPERIENCE WITH STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES <br />BV has extensive experience and expertise with ADA <br />Accessibility Standards, Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility <br />Guidelines, and State Building Codes, which are relevant <br />to this project. Our assessors and management staff <br />have project experience in multiple states and locales <br />nationwide, and apply the 2010 ADA Standards for <br />Accessible Design, the current ADA accessibility guidelines <br />(ADAAG), and other state and local building codes <br />as required by laws, statutes and ordinances. When <br />prioritizing barrier removal, we will follow the order of <br />preference advised by the Department of Justice in Title II <br />requirements, or as modified through agreement with the <br />City and by public survey results. BV is experienced with <br />the application of the program access test defined in Title <br />II 35.150(b), and understands that not all individual barriers <br />must be removed, but the overall program must be made <br />accessible. <br /> <br /> Proposed Project Approach <br />The scope of the work, as defined by the City, includes: <br />• ADA Self Evaluation <br />– Physical Assessment of Facilities and Sites <br />– Accessibility Transition Plan <br />• Program Access and Policy Review <br />• Public Outreach Meetings (6) <br />• Public Rights-of-Way (PROW) Evaluation: public <br />sidewalks and curb ramps <br /> <br />The City has requested services for: <br />• Sixty-nine (69) Structural Assets (41 Sites) <br />• Public Rights of Way (PROW) <br />– 360 miles of sidewalks <br /> BV will complete the following: <br />• Conduct comprehensive accessibility assessment and <br />inventory of facilities identified on the Buildings/Site list. <br />• Ensure compliance with applicable standards, <br />regulations, and codes for accessibility <br />• Perform site visits to observe, document, and <br />photograph specific conditions and modifications of <br />facilities and components subject to federal, state, and <br />local access requirements. <br />• Assessment of the content and location of the <br />City’s programs, services, policies, training and <br />communication practices. <br />• Create public outreach to ensure public input into the <br />transition planning process, including public meetings <br />and public survey. <br />• Create criteria to prioritize facilities and/or categories of <br />work to support a phased approach to implementation <br />of the ADA Transition Plan. <br />• Establish order of magnitude (pre-planning level) <br />estimated costs for each barrier removal necessary to <br />make facilities accessible. <br />• Prepare interim and final presentations of findings and <br />recommendations to the City. <br />• Deliver draft and final reports per protocol established <br />by the City. <br />• Maintain the electronic database the City can use to <br />track barrier removals as each is completed, which <br />serves as a living Transition Plan. <br /> <br />APPROACH <br />BV will conduct a kick-off meeting with the City to define <br />communication channels, define the scope of work, and <br />to review the facility and program lists. Discussions will <br />include recent and proposed capital improvements and <br />available programs at each of the facilities. BV will note <br />public use patterns and prioritization of the facilities and <br />programs. <br /> <br />Prior to the kick-off meeting, BV will provide a pre- <br />assessment questionnaire for each site and other <br />documentation. Documents requested, if readily available, <br />are: <br />• Prior accessibility transition plans or self-evaluations <br />• Site plans / floor plans <br />• Identification of any/all historic structures <br />• Description of each facility’s purpose <br />• As-built drawings (with dates of construction) <br />• Current reasonable accommodation policy <br />• Intersection / street / curb plans / previous sidewalk <br />survey <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 7CF951A9-F5A4-4F8B-B02B-90C4522C309B
