Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
ADA Internal Service Fund (3552)
DISCUSSION:
On Sept. 7, 2016, the county entered into a Consent Decree with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that required the commencement of the Humboldt County Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Project. The purpose of the Humboldt County Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Project is to bring all county-owned and leased facilities that provide programs, services and activities to the public into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Garberville Public Health Branch ADA Modification Project is part of this compliance effort.
On July 29, 2020, the County of Humboldt entered into a consultant services agreement with Alameida Architecture (AA) to design ADA improvements for the Garberville Public Health Branch. The construction project will renovate, improve and remove barriers to access in the single-user restrooms making one fully ADA compliant, reconstruct three service counters, replace the front door and reconstruct the parking lot with one ADA accessible van parking stall and a compliant path of travel linking the facility to the pedestrian right of way as well as the newly constructed Garberville County Complex across the street. Staff worked with Public Works, Department of Health and Human Services, and AA in the review and development of the project’s plans and timeline.
The construction schedule is expected to be 120 calendar days and is anticipated to begin on Jan. 3, 2022 and be completed by May 2022.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total cost for the Garberville Public Health ADA Modification Project is estimated at $170,000, with $38,000 estimated for design services and site preparation and $132,000 estimated for construction. The ADA Compliance ISF has sufficient funds for this project in its Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by fostering transparent, accessible, welcoming and user friendly services and providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board could choose not to approve the recommendations to approve the plans and specifications and authorization to bid. However, the Garberville Public Health Branch was one of the facilities listed in the DOJ Consent Decree as having barriers to access and was scheduled for ADA modifications in the ADA Compliance Plan.
