REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

TO FURNISH ENGINEERING

SERVICES ADA

TRANSITION PLAN

The Town of Reardan is inviting

statements of qualifications and

performance information from

consulting firms interested in

providing professional engineering

services for the ADA Transition

Plan Project. This agreement

will be for approximately

18 months in duration with the

option for the Town of Reardan

to extend it for additional time

and money if necessary.

The Town of Reardan reserves

the right to amend terms of this

“Request for Qualifications”

(RFQ) to circulate various addenda,

or to withdraw the RFQ

at any time, regardless of how

much time and effort consultants

have spent on their responses.

Project Description

The work to be performed by

the CONSULTANT consists

of an inventory and study of

existing sidewalk infrastructure

and facilities across the Town

relating to ADA compliance.

The project consists of a field

survey of approximately 35

intersections in the Town that

have sidewalk infrastructure in

place. The survey will analyze

the sidewalk pedestrian ramps

for compliance with current ADA

standards. The WSDOT pedestrian

ramp survey form will be

completed for each pedestrian

ramp. Using this information, a

tabulated list will be prepared of

non-compliant curb ramps and

gaps in the sidewalk system

that prevent continuous ADA

access.

This information will be used

to prepare grant applications

for sidewalk funding to address

inconsistencies and non-compliant

sidewalk ramps.

The major features of the study

will include separate sections

describing the following:

• Comprehensive needs

assessment to identify specific

accessibility challenges and

barriers.

• Identify recommended improvements,

modifications, or

additions required to achieve

ADA compliance.

• Estimated costs of recommended

improvements.

• Document potential funding

sources for recommended improvements.

The Town of Reardan reserves

the right to retain the services

of the successful firm(s) for any

subsequent phases associated

with this project.
