Specifications include, but are not limited to: In 1990, the United States Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended from time to time. In so doing, it committed the nation to a broad and sustained effort to transform and elevate the social and economic status of the nation’s largest minority group, those with disabilities. The protections of the ADA cover an estimated 53 million Americans or nearly 20% of the nation’s population. The ADA is codified in five titles, the first of which (Title I) prohibits employers of 15 or more employees, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment. Title II applies specifically to State and local government entities and protects qualified individuals from discrimination on the basis of disability in services, programs, and activities provided by State and local government entities. The City strives to provide and maintain employment practices, facilities, and programs and services that comply with the ADA and thus seeks a qualified Company that will assess the City’s current level of ADA compliance in employment, facilities, programs, services, policies, processes and communications. In addition, the Company shall develop a transition plan for the City that complies with the requirements of the ADA.
