Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Phoenix is seeking a qualified consultant team to provide Engineering services to identify and evaluate current services, policies, practices, and physical obstacles in the public Right-of-Way for individuals with disabilities. Services may include evaluation, survey, design, and cost estimating services. The City uses the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) as the best management practice for work within the public Right-of-Way (ROW) but has not yet fully adopted PROWAG as a standard through a City ordinance.

The firm will work with the City to define standards, conduct an evaluation identifying where deficiencies limit accessibility, develop a transition plan, and integrate data collected into existing GIS based systems. All work shall conform to the US Access Board, Federal Highway Administration, and Arizona Department of Transportation policies and procedures. The ADA Transition Plan will include, but is not limited to the following components: Develop standards and methodology used to conduct the self-evaluation. Provide a summary of self-evaluation findings, including barrier details and locations. Provide estimated costs and recommended implementation schedule for remediation based on an assessment of current and possible new funding sources.

Develop procedures and forms for monitoring the implementation of the ADA Transition Plan, evaluating, and documenting additional barriers, and filing Requests for Accommodation. Identify design guidelines and construction standards for implementation, including design of standard details and special details drawings for barrier remediation methods. Present findings to Department Leadership and City Management as requested.
