2 General Statement of Understanding
Bureau Veritas Technical Assessments LLC (BV) understands that it will provide consulting services to ensure the City of South San Francisco (“City”) complies with all aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Federal ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), American Barriers Act (ABA), State Building Code, and local accessibility regulations with regards to its programs, services, public buildings, facilities and parks, exterior amenities, and paths of travel. The work will ultimately culminate in the production of an ADA Transition Plan, which will include a schedule of improvements necessary to meet the ADA,
the State, and local accessibility requirements, associated order of magnitude cost estimates for barrier removal,
a prioritized list of improvements, and a timeline for
completion of needed improvements or modifications.
EXPERIENCE WITH STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
BV has extensive experience and expertise with ADA
Accessibility Standards, Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines, and State Building Codes, which are relevant to this project. Our assessors and management staff
have project experience in multiple states and locales
nationwide, and apply the 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design, the current ADA accessibility guidelines (ADAAG), and other state and local building codes
as required by laws, statutes and ordinances. When
prioritizing barrier removal, we will follow the order of preference advised by the Department of Justice in Title II requirements, or as modified through agreement with the City and by public survey results. BV is experienced with the application of the program access test defined in Title II 35.150(b), and understands that not all individual barriers must be removed, but the overall program must be made
accessible.
Proposed Project Approach
The scope of the work, as defined by the City, includes:
• ADA Self Evaluation
– Physical Assessment of Facilities and Sites
– Accessibility Transition Plan
• Program Access and Policy Review
• Public Outreach Meetings (2)
• Public Rights-of-Way (PROW) Evaluation: public
sidewalks and curb ramps
The City has requested services for:
• Forty-Eight (48) public building facilities
• 104 Parks, Medians, and Parking Lots
• Public Rights of Way (PROW)
– 577,840 linear feet of sidewalks
– 113 traffic signals
BV will complete the following:
• Conduct comprehensive accessibility assessment and
inventory of facilities identified on the Buildings/Site list. • Ensure compliance with applicable standards,
regulations, and codes for accessibility
• Perform site visits to observe, document, and
photograph specific conditions and modifications of
facilities and components subject to federal, state, and local access requirements.
• Assessment of the content and location of the
City’s programs, services, policies, training and
communication practices.
• Create public outreach to ensure public input into the transition planning process, including public meetings
and public survey.
• Create criteria to prioritize facilities and/or categories of work to support a phased approach to implementation
of the ADA Transition Plan.
• Establish order of magnitude (pre-planning level)
estimated costs for each barrier removal necessary to
make facilities accessible.
• Prepare interim and final presentations of findings and recommendations to the City.
• Deliver draft and final reports per protocol established by the City.
• Maintain the electronic database the City can use to
track barrier removals as each is completed, which
serves as a living Transition Plan.
APPROACH
BV will conduct a kick-off meeting with the City to define communication channels, define the scope of work, and
to review the facility and program lists. Discussions will include recent and proposed capital improvements and
available programs at each of the facilities. BV will note public use patterns and prioritization of the facilities and programs.
Prior to the kick-off meeting, BV will provide a preassessment questionnaire for each site and other documentation. Documents requested, if readily available, are:
• Prior accessibility transition plans or self-evaluations • Site plans / floor plans
• Identification of any/all historic structures
• Description of each facility’s purpose
2. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
3 • As-built drawings (with dates of construction)
• Current reasonable accommodation policy
• Intersection / street / curb plans / previous sidewalk survey
The initial discussions with City staff will include the following elements:
• Roles and lines of communication between and within
both the City and BV.
• Protocols for interaction between all parties throughout the project: Contact information should include the
office and cell numbers for a minimum of 2+ contacts
with the appropriate City staff and BV.
• Field assessment logistics: Normally, BV does not require escorts to perform the field assessments, except where
escorts may be required within restricted areas. Outline areas of City’s highest priority for any assessment to be completed during any training phases, likely complexity of assessment data processing, efficient workflow each
day of the assessment, and City requests.
• Protocol for handling paths not clearly designated on the map, not collected due to construction, or otherwise deemed inaccessible. (PROW Survey)
• Strategies for connectivity between isolated urbanized areas. (PROW Survey)
Field schedules and facility management interviews will be conducted once the schedule is approved by the City.
Once the field schedule is approved, BV will deploy trained accessibility assessors with backgrounds in Landscape
Architecture, Architecture, Engineering, and Building
Systems for facility assessments. All field resources
assigned have been professionally trained in accessibility assessments and have performed numerous assessments.
Program Access and Policy Review
BV is experienced with the program access test defined
in Title II 35.150(b), and realizes that not all amenities are required to be accessible. BV’s goal is to assist the City in providing the most economically viable improvements
for its users. Through consultation with staff, stakeholder surveys and our field observations, BV will provide barrier removal recommendations to improve the amenities
necessary to comply with the applicable standards to
provide program access.
An assessment of the City’s programs will be performed.
The United States Department of Justice defines
“programs” as the “programs, services and facilities” of a Title II entity. The current status of the City’s programs as defined by the DOJ will be evaluated through discussions with City staff and a review of documentation. The goal mandated by Title II of the ADA is to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not excluded from services, programs, and activities because buildings are inaccessible or other assistance is not available. Steps needed to make programs accessible to disabled individuals will be detailed, such as, providing sign language interpreters to enable an individual with a disability to obtain the service, or providing benefits at an alternative accessible location in order to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the benefits or services.
BV will meet with the designated representatives of the City to gather information from the various departments regarding the access opportunities or problems which
have arisen in the past. BV will evaluate the issues and experiences with respect to the provision of services to people with disabilities.
A program survey will address issues with respect to the delivery of accessible programs and services. A policy and program review provides a greater scope of information
about structural changes required for barrier removal.
The list of public programs and methods of communication with the public has not been provided to BV as part of the City’s request for a proposal. As such, BV has limited the review of said programs and communications to eighty
(80) man hours. BV will work with the City to prioritize the review to those programs with the highest impact to the community.
It is possible that the program assessment will determine that providing full access to a given program, service or activity is simply not possible. In such a case, BV will work with the City to determine if providing full access to the program would be an “undue financial and administrative burden.” Determinations regarding a finding of an “undue financial and administrative burden” require specific
documentation as set forth in the Title II regulations.
Public Outreach
Community engagement is an essential part of creating a successful Transition Plan and Policy Procedure Guideline.
BV with work with the City to seek input from Staff, the general public, and the accessible community. This input is critical for understanding how facilities are actually being used and how to increase usability. Early engagement
increases community awareness, engagement after the
draft Transition Plan increases buy-in from the community, especially those advocating for accessibility.
The community engagement results and the City’s ADA
Compliance Team’s advice 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 4 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 has experience with public outreach, including public input to the transition plan. Public outreach must be
conducted prior to development of the Transition Plan, in order to determine user priorities and program opinion.
BV will arrange for and conduct a public outreach meeting for the community at large. BV will reach out to local
disability rights and service organizations for their valuable community input.
BV’s goal is to assist the City in providing the most
economically viable improvements for its users. The
results of the initial public outreach and the advice of the City’s ADA Compliance Team will be incorporated
into the Transition Plan. BV will provide barrier removal recommendations to improve the amenities necessary to
comply with the applicable standards to provide facility and program access.
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. An example of survey
results from public sessions is included below.
Website Accessibility Review
The ADA applies to Title III public accommodations’
websites, regardless of whether there is a specific regulation or technical standard in the ADA standards.
In a 2018 letter to Congress regarding business owned
websites, the Department of Justice (DOJ) noted, as it has in the past with other elements, spaces, or technologies for which there are no technical accessibility specifications, that the absence of a technical standard does not “serve as a basis for noncompliance” with the ADA’s general
obligation to ensure equal access to goods and services.
Rather, it means that public accommodations have
“flexibility” in how to facilitate that access.
Existing website standards and guidelines can help web
developers create and maintain accessible websites.
DOJ has often referred to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0), developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), as a way of measuring the accessibility of websites.
BV will analyze and evaluate the City’s website for
accessible content, including use of the WAVE web
accessibility evaluation tool or similar technology. Applying the current WCAG version (currently 2.1), BV will determine barriers to accessibility within the City’s website and present appropriate barrier removal.
This review is limited to up to 7 templated pages and forms that are representative to your website and those general edits will need to be remedied throughout the entire site.

PUBLIC SURVEY RESULTS FOR CITY PARKS
5 BV will identify which City communications, mobile
applications, webpages, and third-party city applications, including, but not limited to, signup forms, registration forms, and website formatting, are subject to the
requirements of the ADA and develop Barrier Assessment
Surveys, listing each item.
Facility and Parks Assessments
An experience accessibility field observer will visit each property to observe the general condition of the site,
facility interior, facility exterior improvements, and review available documents in order to familiarize themselves with each site’s specific accessibility issues. BV will conduct a walk-through visit of each facility in order to observe and identify physical accessibility deficiencies and formulate recommendations to eliminate the physical barriers.
As a part of the assessment process, BV will meet with a City representative in order to gain a clear understanding of the overall features and programs, property condition, and completion dates of additions and/or renovations,
either on-site as part of the individual site assessment or at the City’s offices reviewing the entire inventory. Areas to be observed include all interior and exterior features of the property, including parking lots, amenities, sidewalk/ pathways, recreational assets, exterior access ramps, all interior areas accessible to the public, and employee areas.
The field observer will develop recommendations
based on the walk-through visit and interviews with
City representatives and BV’s vast experience gained on similar properties previously evaluated. The field observer may also question others who are knowledgeable of
the property’s physical condition and operation, or of
similar systems to gain comparative information to use in evaluation of the property.
The field observer will review documents and information provided by the City that could aid BV’s knowledge of the subject property’s physical improvements, extent and type of use, and/or assist in identifying material discrepancies between reported information and observed conditions.
During the walk-through, the observer will utilize a field checklist based on the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which are the current ADA accessibility guidelines (ADAAG), as well as any more stringent accessibility
standards defined by the State and local accessibility codes.
The field observer will utilize a digital level, measuring tape, door pressure gauge, light and sound meters, and
digital camera or an iPad with equivalent capability to evaluate existing elements to determine if barriers are present. The observer will identify and prioritize any
existing improvements not in accordance with ADA,
state, and local accessibility requirements, in the order of preference advised by the Department of Justice in Title II requirements, or as modified through agreement with the City and by public survey results, such as:
• Physical access to the property
• Access to interior public areas
• Access to common areas, including recreation facilities and other observable space
• Access to restrooms; and
• Removal of remaining barriers
The BV team will assess exterior areas and interior common areas that are defined as areas of public accommodation, as well as the employee areas defined by the City. BV will identify existing non-compliant conditions, including but not limited to, the elements specified below (if applicable):
• Space allowance/ranges
• Accessible routes, vestibules, corridors
• Protruding object
• Ground/floor surfaces
• Loading zones
• Curb ramps
• Ramps
• Stairs
• Elevators
• Platform lifts
• Windows
• Doors
• Hardware
• Work surfaces
• Entrances and exits
• Drinking fountains and water coolers
• Water closets
• Toilet stalls
• Urinals
• Lavatories and mirrors
• Bathtubs
• Shower stalls
• Toilet rooms
• Bathrooms
• Dressing/fitting rooms
• Sinks
• Storage
• Handrails, grab bars, and tub/shower seats
• Controls and operating mechanisms
• Alarms (visual, audible)
• Detectable warnings
• Signage (Braille, visual)
• Telephones
• Switches and outlets
• Seating and tables
6 • Assembly areas
• Parking
• Sidewalks and walkways
• Playgrounds and play areas
• Pools/aquatic facilities
• Recreational assets
If proposed solutions to the identified barriers to
accessibility would place an undue administrative or
financial burden on the City, BV will discuss these solutions in advance with City staff. 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.
Public Rights-of-Way Evaluation
Prior to initiating the public right-of-way (PROW) portions of the contract, BV (BV) will confirm the list of sidewalks, streets, and curb ramps that will be analyzed. If sidewalk locations are not known, BV will take a strategic approach using the GIS street network to ensure a complete dataset is collected.
BV will systematically survey the sidewalk surface
environment for compliance with state, local, and federal accessibility standards. BV will document changes in level, roughness, running slope, cross slope, width, and other pathway events that may pose a barrier in the pedestrian network. Objective sensor-based data along with
technician observed barriers will be recorded. BV will assess curb ramps for ADA compliance, measuring necessary
attributes, including but not limited to running slope, cross slope, landings, flares, and detectable warnings.
Image documentation of all curb ramps will be provided.
The barriers of each curb ramp or the lack of a curb ramp will be documented. BV will capture deficiency data for transit stops, signalized intersections, and unsignalized intersections, including access to pedestrian pushbuttons and the condition and presence of markings.
The PROW survey will begin in those priority areas that received the highest rank and will then extend to the
other areas which are part of the rights-of-way list. This evaluation will identify and record any gaps in connectivity, potential safety hazards, obstructions, missing curb ramps, and general noncompliance with accessibility regulations, including the following:
• Assessment of the Pedestrian Right of Way (Sidewalks) • Assessment of Curb Ramps
• Assessment of Pedestrian Crossings, Signalized
Intersections, Un-signalized Intersections
Public Rights of Way Assessment Technology
The BV team will utilize proprietary technology to efficiently and accurately assess the conditions that exist in the
sidewalk environment within the City’s jurisdiction. An assessment coordinator utilizes a manually-propelled
sensor-based device (or in some cases an autonomous
robotic device) to systematically evaluate the sidewalk surface. The device automates the process of identifying important pathway measurements for ADA compliance and
infrastructure management, including:
a) level changes (tripping hazards);
b) running slope;
c) cross slope;
d) WPRI roughness;
e) width (including pinch points);
f) images every ten feet;
g) low clearances;
h) presence of obstructions;
i) presence of vegetation;
j) presence of other manually flagged attributes; and other qualitative attributes.
7 If required, one of our technology devices is uniquely qualified to measure wheelchair pathway roughness index (WPRI) according to ASTM E3028 (standard development
funded by the Access Board).
The technology utilizes lasers, inertial measurement
sensors, and HD cameras to facilitate data collection
of all necessary measurements. It supports sidewalk,
crosswalk, and public right-of-way data collection up to five times faster than standard methods (tape measures
and levels), while providing the best data. Unlike other tools and software, our technology delivers continuous data
rather than individual points of only tripping hazards and obstructions on a map. This means that the City receives the most complete dataset without missing any part of the pedestrian network.
BV gathers all of the typical curb ramp, pedestrian signal, and bus stop measurements for ADA compliance, including but not limited to:
a) running and cross slopes;
b) lengths and widths;
c) detectable warning surfaces;
d) landing measurements;
e) presence of obstructions;
f) photos; and other configurable measurements and
qualitative attributes.
Federal, state, or local curb ramp types are utilized as a guide to facilitate data collection of all necessary
measurements. Our technology supports data collection
up to six times faster than standard methods, providing the best data. Unlike Lidar collection methods, which can have difficulty measuring slopes the technology provides accurate slope and distance measurements comparable
to the standard tape measure and digital level. Its unique rating index, which is customizable, makes it easy to
prioritize improvements, delivering data-driven results, and saving time and money.
PROW Deliverable
All data is delivered in a GIS-compatible format (.gdb or .shp), making it easy to integrate into the City’s GIS software enabling easy data-driven decision-making. Data may be
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 indepth 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 Citys 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. 8 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.
Following the review and inclusion of public comments in the Transition Plan, BV will submit the Final Transition Plan in printed and electronic copies to the designated parties and stakeholders. The Final Transition Plan will include an executive summary, and a description of how the
entire self-evaluation and transition planning process was conducted. BV will present the Final Transition Plan to the City at a scheduled meeting. Along with the Transition Plan and a summary, BV will prepare a PowerPoint presentation that will explain how the Transition Plan was formed, the choices which were made with respect to accessibility
solutions, the manner in which budget decisions were
made, and the benefits that the implementation of the
Transition Plan will bring to the City.
Facilities Diagrams
We will produce as-needed diagrams for the ADA Transition plan of the various building interiors and exteriors that will note the location of architectural barriers. In most cases this will consist of an overlay over existing floorplans, blueprints, and CAD drawings. Our drawings will not be
original as-built quality, but basic diagrams to delineate the location of barriers.
ADA Cost Estimates
The ADA AssetCALC™ cost estimating database is based
on industry cost benchmarks and further customized with proprietary cost tables developed by BV, based on historical and localized actual costs. BV maintains and updates the cost estimating system with information received from the field. Through ADA project management and construction
monitoring work, BV has current cost data from hundreds of in-progress construction and rehabilitation projects. This data allows BV to calculate costs based on local conditions to maintain a cost database that is up-to-date.
Typically, barrier removal planning level cost estimates are based upon the removal of the specific element, for example, a parking stall or curb ramp. In some site-specific instances, barrier removal may affect an area beyond
the specific location of the barrier. Grading plans based on field surveys using land surveyor instrumentation, or architectural plans requiring wall relocation could result in significantly different material quantities and subsequent higher project costs. The database contains standardized order of magnitude cost estimates for barrier removal for use in prioritizing the work in the Transition Plan.
At the implementation stage, it is anticipated a detailed specification will be prepared and bids will be generated to establish planning level costs. ADA AssetCALC™ cost
estimates are pre-planning level, order of magnitude
barrier removal cost estimates. Cost tables, similar to the ones detailed in the table below, will be provided for each facility/site.
Deliverables
The deliverables are:
• Facility and Park ADA Assessments - individual facility and Park reports
• Public Rights-of-way Assessments - individual rights-ofway reports • Program Access and Policy Review - Optional
• Public Outreach Meetings (2) and Public Survey
• Transition Plan
9 The facility assessment and program assessment reports are provided in electronic format and are typically
represented in three formats:
• Word® document converted to an Adobe PDF, with
photographic images of barriers and GPS positioning of
exterior barriers.
• Excel® spreadsheet with code references, existing
conditions, barrier resolution, and cost data.
• Cloud-based database ADA AssetCALC™.
BV will provide an ADA report for each facility assessment with a description of each barrier observed and recorded, and will define the location, recorded measurements,
barrier description, applicable ADAAG/state/local code
reference, viable corrective action, priority, and order of magnitude (pre-planning level) cost estimate of repair.
Color photographs of each barrier are included with the barrier record. Barriers will be identified and presented by individual facility. Each report will include an executive summary, including a summary cost table identifying the estimated cost to correct each facility.
The Public Rights-of-Way (PROW) reports will be provided with all of the collected and derived data in a spreadsheet format compatible with Microsoft Excel and as a file
geodatabase that is compatible with GIS products. The
PROW data is separated into two primary data sets; the
Segment Data that contains surface information, and the Feature Data.
Line data and point data can be spatially displayed via the GPS information recorded for the stations and features they contain. Segment Summary data is a table of information about each segment that is derived from the collected data.
Feature data is separated into three different tables.
The first is the spatial feature summary that contains the spatial location and type information for each feature
collected. The second feature is a table created for each individual feature type collected contain the specific
attribute data for that feature type. The third table is the compliance table that derives the compliance of
each feature based on a series of queries comparing the collected data and the minimum requirements of the Draft Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-ofWay (PROWAG). Both the feature data and compliance data can be joined or related to the spatial feature summary table via a unique ID that the PROW software generates.
BV will use our web-based database, ADA AssetCALC™
for the facility assessments, and for components of the Transition Plan. ADA AssetCALC™ will provide the City with the ability to generate cost tables for all facilities, or for each individual facility. Similar types of barriers can be queried within the ADA AssetCALC™ database across all
facilities, with the resulting ability to improve purchasing and contracting power. Barriers can be ranked by priority for removal. Photos will be uploaded to ADA AssetCALC™
to be viewed as a photo log or individually, when reviewing a specific barrier. BV will provide a Transition Plan, which will include the program access report, presented in a
Word document converted to an Adobe PDF, with the data
exportable to an Excel format. BV will provide an electronic draft of the reports for review, including text, tables, digital photos, field notes, and supporting documentation. Final reports will be provided after all the City’s comments have been addressed.

10 Data Management Solution - ADA
AssetCALC™ Software
BV is providing access, at no additional charge, to ADA AssetCALC™ for a period of three (3) years. This platform streamlines the Capital Planning and ADA Transition
Planning process by compiling funding requirements for
barriers and creating budget models based on project
priority, life cycle maintenance, and repair requirements.
The City is not required to utilize this software as we will provide hardcopy reports and we can export the data to
Excel and Word formats. We have included ADA AssetCALC™ licenses for one (1) year with unlimited users.
ADA AssetCALC™ is a web-based SQL database platform
that enables users to query, edit, and analyze their facility accessibility and condition data to plan immediate and
short-term barrier repairs, and budget capital expenditures throughout the lifecycle of a single building or an entire portfolio. The system unites BV’s experienced field data collection methods with advanced planning and reporting tools, construction cost library, location mapping features, digital photo management, and document storage.
ADA AssetCALC™ will provide the City with the ability
to list, prioritize, query, and track deficiencies recorded through the Self-Assessment Process. It is easy to use, and populated with accessibility requirements pertinent to the City. BV recognizes that budgets change and the Transition Plan must be able to account for unplanned occurrences.
ADA AssetCALC™ provides a process to complete work on
those barriers that have been corrected over time. Reports can be queried instantaneously to reflect the barriers
corrected. ADA AssetCALC™ provides the ability to track progress over time.
Prior to populating the database, BV will work with the City to establish required attributes and data points associated with each asset. This will include a discussion of the relative priority of the asset requiring barrier removal. This will include all of the City’s physical assets and will be grouped in a hierarchy based on site location, asset group, and function.
BV will utilize ADA AssetCALC™ to track physical accessibility needs associated with the Implementation/Transition Plan.
The database contains a capital planning and transition planning module in which accessibility construction
projects may be established, including barrier removal
priorities. It will provide the City with a consolidated database of capital projects related to barrier removal.
Capabilities of ADA AssetCALC™ include, but are not limited to:
• Microsoft.net web-enabled software
• Customizable fields, groupings, and reporting
• Reports, charts and graphs to forecast capital needs for individual buildings and construction projects
• Progress reports and tracking of the corrective measure progress
• Capital budget planning tools to assign and track
progress over fiscal years
• Corrective action work completed/progress complete
• Access to the observed site conditions of barriers with photographs and GPS positions of exterior barriers
• Updateable cost library makes budgets more accurate
over time
• Customizable priority framework and search tools to
help decision makers
• Export tools to take data to other applications, including Microsoft Excel
• Repository for storing and searching documents related to buildings and component
• ADA compliance library to plan and track accessibility improvements
• Administrative tools for managing user access
ADA AssetCALC™‘ reporting can include GPS coordinates for locations of each exterior barrier on a satellite map. BV, in conjunction with Google Earth imaging, provides the most recent satellite mapping. Each exterior barrier is indicated by its own GPS marker.
Additional screenshots and a live demonstration are
available upon request.
11 BV has the ability and resources to complete the ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan assessments in a timely manner. The following details our proposed timeline to complete the project. This schedule is open to negotiations between the City and BV.
