Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) Compliance Checklist - Leased Facilities

The Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968 – requires that buildings and facilities designed, built, altered or leased with Federal funds be accessible to persons with disabilities. The United States Access Board develops and maintains accessibility guidelines under the ABA which serve as the basis for the standards used to enforce the ABA. GSA is one of four Federal agencies responsible for the standards. The others are the Department of Defense, the U.S. Postal Service and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard, ABAAS – is GSA’s new accessibility standard under the ABA. It comprises ABA Chapters 1 and 2 and Chapters 3 through 10 of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines published by the U.S. Access Board on July 23, 2004. A full copy of the guidelines is available at http://www.access-board.gov/ada-aba/final.htm.

Applicability of ABAAS to Leased Facilities – ABAAS Section F202.6 Leases, outlines compliance requirements for leased facilities.

ABAAS Compliance Checklist – This Checklist is intended to facilitate achieving full compliance with the requirements of the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) for all GSA leased facilities except new buildings/facilities expressly built to meet the Government's needs.

Alterations. Where existing elements or spaces are altered, each altered element or space shall comply with the applicable requirements of Chapter 2.

Advisory F202.3 Alterations. Although covered entities are permitted to limit the scope of an alteration to individual elements, the alteration of multiple elements within a room or space may provide a cost-effective opportunity to make the entire room or space accessible. Any elements or spaces of the building or facility that are required to comply with these requirements must be made accessible within the scope of the alteration, to the maximum extent feasible. If providing accessibility in compliance with these requirements for people with one type of disability (e.g., people who use wheelchairs) is not feasible, accessibility must still be provided in compliance with the requirements for people with other types of disabilities (e.g., people who have hearing impairments or who have vision impairments) to the extent that such accessibility is feasible.

Prohibited Reduction in Access. An alteration that decreases or has the effect of decreasing the accessibility of a building or facility below the requirements for new construction at the time of the alteration is prohibited.

Extent of Application. An alteration of an existing element, space, or area of a building or facility shall not impose a requirement for accessibility greater than required for new construction.

Alterations Affecting Primary Function Areas. In addition to the requirements of F202.3, an alteration that affects or could affect the usability of or access to an area containing a primary function shall be made so as to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of travel to the altered area, including the rest rooms, telephones, and drinking fountains serving the altered area, are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, unless such alterations are disproportionate to the overall alterations in terms of cost and scope as determined under criteria established by the Administrator of the General Services Administration, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, or the United States Postal Service.

Alterations to Qualified Historic Buildings and Facilities. Alterations to a qualified historic building or facility shall comply with F202.3 and F202.4.

Advisory F202.5 Alterations to Qualified Historic Buildings and Facilities Exception. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires that a Federal agency with jurisdiction over a proposed Federal or federally assisted undertaking consider the effect of the action on Buildings and facilities listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places prior to approving the expenditure of any Federal funds.

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has established procedures for Federal agencies to meet this statutory responsibility. See 36 CFR Part 800. The procedures require Federal agencies to consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer, and provide for involvement by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in certain cases. There are exceptions for alterations to qualified historic buildings and facilities for accessible routes (F206.2.1 Exception 1 and F206.2.3 Exception 6); entrances (F206.4 Exception 2); and toilet facilities (F213.2 Exception 2). These exceptions apply only when the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation agrees that compliance with requirements for the specific element would threaten or destroy the historic significance of the Building or Facility.

The Accessibility Office at the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) provides a variety of resources for museum operators and historic properties including: the Design for Accessibility Guide and the Disability Symbols. Contact NEA about these and other resources at (202) 682-5532 or www.arts.gov

Exception: Where the State Historic Preservation Officer or Advisory Council on Historic Preservation determines that compliance with the requirements for accessible routes, entrances, or toilet facilities would threaten or destroy the historic significance of the building or facility, the exceptions for alterations to qualified historic buildings or facilities for that element shall be permitted to apply.

� Instructions for Use - This Checklist is intended to facilitate achieving full compliance with the requirements of the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) for all GSA leased facilities except new buildings/facilities expressly built to meet the Government's needs.

The four page Checklist begins with a section on basic building/project information. A section noting compliance with previous accessibility standards is included for existing buildings/facilities. Offers which include additions or alterations to existing buildings/facilities have more compliance requirements than offers for existing buildings/facilities where additions or alterations are not included as part of the offer. Therefore, the first page of the checklist requests information on whether additions and/or alterations are included as part of the offer. If applicable, the included Additions Compliance Worksheet and the Alterations Compliance Worksheet are important aids in determining compliance for those portions of the offer.

It is necessary to determine whether exceptions to the ABAAS apply for certain elements of the offer. An

Exceptions Worksheet is included in the Checklist for this purpose.

All the parts of the Checklist include checkboxes to note compliance or non-compliance with elements of the Standard. Comment boxes are also included so special circumstances can be noted as well.

Links – Blue text throughout the Checklist indicates a link which when clicked will move to the reference. Navigation buttons in the Reader application will navigate back to the previous view. In the ABA Guidelines a navigation bar is provided at the side of each page to move back to the Checklist. Navigation buttons and bookmarks can facilitate navigation within the Guidelines document.

� Tips on Navigating PDF files - Acrobat Reader is a universally available, easy to use document reader application.

It is designed to allow navigation through a document intuitively. The Help section of Adobe Reader can answer any detailed questions you may have. Following is a brief introduction of the menus and navigation features.

• At the top of the document, there is a menu bar with pull down boxes and a tool bar which includes most command icons. Print, search, zoom are located here. Hold your cursor over each of the menu buttons for a few seconds and the button label appears.

• As you move your mouse across the file, notice the cursor icons change. For most users, you may have personalized your cursor settings. With the default settings, the normal cursor is an open hand icon.

When you move the pointer over a text fill-able field, the pointer changes to a text insert cursor. Over a menu button the pointer changes to an arrow. Over a link indicated by blue text, a pointing hand.

• At the bottom of the page is an additional status and navigation bar. The page number and count of the document is shown. The arrows let you move to first, previous, next or last pages. The arrows move the view back and forward.

• Tabs appear vertically along the left side of the document window. These tabs include Bookmarks which function like a table of contents, Page View which shows thumbnail pictures of each page and Attachments which includes the full ABA Guidelines as well as accessory pages.
