City approves $206,526 contract to update ADA self-evaluation and transition plan
Summary
The council approved a contract with Matrix Design Group (contract: $206,526 plus 10% contingency) to perform ADA self-evaluation, rights-of-way surveys and an interactive GIS-based transition plan on a 12-month timeline; staff described the project as proactive and budgeted.
The council approved a professional-services agreement with Matrix Design Group to update Turlock's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) self-evaluation and transition plan.
The contract award is $206,526 with a recommended 10% contingency of $20,653. Staff said Matrix was selected from seven proposals and will conduct on-site surveys of facilities and public rights-of-way, create an interactive project database aligned with the city's GIS system, and provide community engagement and staff training. The work is budgeted for the current fiscal year and has an anticipated 12-month delivery schedule.
Staff emphasized the work is proactive and not in direct response to an ADA complaint; the city's ADA coordinator said there have been no formal complaints prompting the study. The deliverable will include prioritized barrier-removal actions and projected costs; staff said portions of the information will be subject to a community-engagement process before broader publication so as to manage liability and sequencing of repairs.
Council members supported the project as an investment in accessibility and public infrastructure; the motion to award the contract passed unanimously (5-0).
