City of Santa Ana ADA Self -evaluation and Transition Plan Update Assistance Accessiblity/CASp Services + Recommendations for modifications in policies, practices, and procedures. (Developing new policies is not part of the Self -Evaluation scope) Additionally, Jensen Hughes understands the importance of the City's constituent input and will assist the City with the public vetting process at the (draft) completion of the reports. Once reviewed by the City and finalized, the City can use the provided Plan to assign key City staff responsibilities and a timeline for making the necessary modifications to City services and programs. Additionally, the finalized Self -Evaluation Report can be maintained on file and made available for public inspection as required by §35.105 (c) of the ADA. This ADA Self -Evaluation Report process will then become part of the overall ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan process covering the evaluation of non-physical accessibility requirements under Title II of the ADA. Deliverables for this task will include the following: + Report of Findings + Draft Staff Survey Questions in Excel Format + Final Staff Survey Questions in Excel Format + Completed Staff Surveys in Excel Format + Recommendations and Workplan + Draft ADA Self -Evaluation Report 1.2 GENERAL CONSULTING / SITE ASSESSMENTS - PHYSICAL BARRIER SURVEYS AND REPORTS As required by §35,150 of the ADA, public entities which employ 50 or more persons shall also develop an ADA Transition Plan of its facilities and public rights -of -way. A complete ADA Transition Plan is required to demonstrate at minimum the following traits as outlined in §35.150 (d) of the ADA: + Identify physical obstacles in the public entity's facilities that limit the accessibility to its programs or activities to individuals with disabilities. + Describe in detail the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible. + Specify the schedule for taking the steps necessary to achieve compliance with this section and, if the time period of the Transition Plan is longer than one year, identify the steps that will be taken during each year of the transition period; and + Indicate the official responsible for implementation of the Plan. In assisting the City in developing an ADA Transition Plan, and as the current budget allows, we will work with City staff in order to identify and resolve gaps in City facilities where most needed (i.e., buildings, rights -of -way, parks, and parking lots as applicable). The evaluations will identify architectural and physical barriers located in areas where the City's community will be impacted and propose the most cost-effective modifications / solutions to remediate these issues, along with the estimated rough order of magnitude costs for such improvements. We will develop a methodology for prioritizing improvements with City approval, which factors both the severity and location of barriers, and apply that methodology across all identified barriers. Once developed, this will allow the City to easily target and focus on the highest priority barriers and areas first amongst the individual barriers.
