About this file
This is an Assurance of Compliance document issued by the County of San Mateo Contract Compliance Committee on August 5, 2013, establishing Section 504 compliance requirements for contractors working with the county. The document requires all contractors to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and all applicable Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulations, guidelines, and interpretations. The assurance is binding on the contractor, its successors, transferees, and assignees and must be signed by an authorized official. Contractors employing fewer than 15 persons may qualify for an exception under DHHS regulations, which permits them to refer disabled individuals to alternative accessible service providers rather than making significant alterations to existing facilities. Contractors employing 15 or more persons must designate a Section 504 coordinator responsible for coordinating compliance efforts.
The document requires contractors to certify that submitted information is complete and accurate and to provide specific details including the name and contact information of the designated 504 compliance person, contractor name, street address or P.O. Box, city, state, and zip code. The assurance applies to all contracts issued after the date of execution and serves as a condition for contract award. This compliance requirement reflects the County of San Mateo's commitment to ensuring equal access to services for individuals with disabilities and establishing accountability mechanisms through designated compliance coordinators for larger contractors.
