Commissioners take ADA/title VI services agreement under review; $40,000 ATP fee discussed
Summary
Staff presented two agreements for ADA transition planning and Title VI compliance—an on-call agreement and an ATP for the ADA/title VI plan. The ATP fee was quoted at $40,000 if signed promptly; commissioners agreed to take the matter under review and revisit it at the next meeting to allow council budget consideration.
County staff presented two related procurement items for ADA transition planning and Title VI compliance: an on-call agreement (with auto-renewal) and an ATP for preparing the ADA transition plan and Title VI materials.
A presenter in the meeting told commissioners that the ATP fee would be $40,000 if the county signed promptly and that the scope included employee training; staff warned the fee could increase by roughly $5,000 if higher-level staff were required due to scheduling constraints. Commissioners indicated the agreements were not in the current budget and asked to take them under review and return with questions at the next meeting so the county council could consider funding.
The board agreed to place the item on the May 19 meeting agenda for further consideration. Staff suggested performing an initial audit and inventory of county properties to inform contracting scope and recommended training the county's maintenance director to carry out ongoing ADA compliance work once the initial plan and audit were complete.
