ADA Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan

The City of Alamosa, located in Colorado's Alamosa County, is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and develop an ADA Transition Plan. The procurement seeks a consultant to perform a detailed assessment of the city's 13 main buildings, parks and recreational areas, public rights-of-way, communication methods, employment policies, and emergency preparedness to ensure compliance with ADA Title II regulations. Key deliverables include a thorough self-evaluation identifying accessibility barriers, a prioritized transition plan with implementation timelines and cost estimates, and community engagement throughout the process. The RFP requires proposers to submit a comprehensive package including a cover letter, qualifications and experience, project approach, fee proposal, and sample work products. Evaluation criteria will focus on the consultant's qualifications, project approach, fee competitiveness, references, and previous work samples. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2025, with proposals due by June 5, 2025, and a planned project start date of January 1, 2026. The selected consultant will be expected to provide a final report in both print and electronic accessible formats and provide staff training on ADA compliance.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it emphasizes the need for a highly qualified and experienced consultant capable of comprehensive ADA compliance assessment. The document does not reference incumbent vendors or specify existing technological infrastructure requiring integration. Although specific budget details are not disclosed in the provided materials, the RFP requires proposers to provide a detailed cost breakdown, including hourly rates, estimated hours for each task, and potential reimbursable expenses. The City reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms and select the most qualified proposer based on the established evaluation criteria. The project scope suggests a substantive engagement, potentially indicating a significant professional services contract that will require in-depth expertise in ADA compliance, accessibility assessment, and transition planning for municipal facilities and services.
