<br />Project Description: Access Compliance Plan Review services for the Los Angeles Basin
<br />Regional Office of the Division of the State Architect. Our role is to provide plan review services to ensure that construction
<br />drawings and specifications comply with accessibility standards based on the California Building Code, the Americans with
<br />Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines, and DSA's Accessibility Plan Review Guidelines. Access Compliance Plan Review
<br />is a requirement for new and renovated state owned and state leased facilities so that accessibility and usability of these
<br />buildings comply with the intent of the California Government Code Section 4450, the California Health and Safety Code
<br />Section 19955, the California Civil Code Section 51, and Section 35.130(b)(4) of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities
<br />Act. We have reviewed a wide range of facilities under jurisdiction of DSA's Los Angeles Basin Regional Office, including
<br />single and multi -story school facilities encompassing grades K thru 12 (elementary, middle, and high schools); college and
<br />university projects; libraries; administrative offices; auditoriums; dining and kitchen facilities; gymnasiums; laboratories; and
<br />related site improvements. BOA's plan review service provides timely, accurate plan reviews and back reviews coordinated
<br />with DSA's project submittal processes. A BOA accessibility plan review includes accurate code interpretation, review of
<br />construction plans and specifications, identification of areas of nonconformance, and follow-up consultation with project
<br />designers prior to back review.
<br />CITY OF COMMERCE - INDOOR POOL LOCKER ROOM RENOVATION
<br />Construction Cost: $1,000,000- A/E Fee: $90,000- Architect Team: Edward Lok Ng & Miguel Andrade
<br />Client: City of Commerce Dept. of Public orks, Contact: Mike Halsey (213)820-5889 W
<br />Project Started: 2011; Completed: 2012
<br />Project Description: Our renovation challenge was to fully integrate floor drains into an existing
<br />swimming pool locker room that did not have any floor drains. The maintenance staff "hose
<br />- rLi down" the floor twice per day and pool operations (patrons are typically dripping wet when using
<br />the locker rooms) demanded a lot of floor drains to expel water quickly. BOA's solution was to
<br />carefully sawcut out the entire concrete floor while leaving the interior walls in -place, and install
<br />new concrete floors sloping to new drains. We provided new concrete wall curbs to protect
<br />existing metal stud walls from moisture damage and corrosion. New, large, heavy duty exhaust
<br />fans and added air conditioning promoted ventilation with slow air movement (for patron comfort)
<br />while moving large volumes of air. This enhancement to the existing mechanical system also expelled pool chemical odor
<br />and moisture before its corrosive effects can harm the steel sub -structure. All rooms have at least 2 floor drains to push
<br />water out of each room quickly. New fiberglass doors and aluminum door frames were raised 4" to enhance corrosion
<br />protection and allow "hosing -down" of concrete floors in every room. The swimming pool locker rooms can accommodate
<br />over 300 swimmers. This newly renovated facility also included-, central bag check -in, men & women locker
<br />room/showers/restroom, swimmer sauna rooms, private dressing stalls, staff locker rooms with showers, family dressing
<br />rooms. Plumbing fixtures and toilet room accessories were chosen for their reliability, low -maintenance and durability in a
<br />wet environment.
<br />ADA TRANSITION PLAN FOR THE CITY OF SANTA MARIA
<br />CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA
<br />r.
<br />Client: City of Santa Maria, Wendy Stockton, Deputy City Attorney
<br />Architect: Edward Lok Ng; Project Started: 2008; Completed 2009
<br />Project Description: BOA was commissioned for the specific purpose of providing an ADA
<br />Transition Plan for 52 large City owned facilities totaling 600,000 s.f. & 200 acres (building and
<br />e r sitework) to comply with Federal ADA Guidelines. A sampling of the list of facilities included City
<br />Hall, large assembly halls, classroom buildings, libraries, Police Dept. Parks and Recreation Dept.,
<br />City and regional Parks, ball fields, Community centers, museums, City maintenance yards, City
<br />administrative offices, City lease facilities, airport facilities, large Municipal parking structures, on -
<br />site City parking lots, etc. Scope of work, included working with various disabled user groups to
<br />prioritize items of work, facilities field survey, "line item" construction cost estimate, accessibility
<br />design mitigation and ADA compliance modification recommendations, and finally, compile all
<br />recommendations and construction cost into a comprehensive ADA Transition Plan Database. We
<br />also created floor plan drawings, for example, showing how a non-ADA compliant restroom could be modified to be
<br />compliant. Access Compliance issues included identification of very item of deficiency and a recommended corrective
<br />action for capital improvement. Corrective actions included, retrofit of elevators, new access lift, handrails, stairs, new
<br />access ramps, new parking for the Disabled, ADA signage, and automatic doors, assistive listening devices, path of travel,
<br />concrete walkway repair, wheelchair and comparyQ��tin�Gimanymore. Many of the buildings we worked on were
