ATTACHMENT I: Modifications to Newly Constructed FacilitiesThe chart below lists the facilities surveyed by the Department, the access issues identified during the survey, and the actions required to correct the access issues. Required actions are listed using an alphanumeric code. The key to the alphanumeric codes is provided in Attachment M to this Agreement. In order to ensure that the following spaces and elements in County facilities for which construction was commenced after January 26, 1992, are readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities, the County will take the actions referenced by the alphanumeric code and described in detail in Attachment M to this Settlement Agreement within the time periods specified below, which time periods will begin to run on the effective date of this Agreement. Items classified as "Contract" require more research for a resolution to the items identified in this attachment. The County expects that the Contract will define scope of work required to remedy the identified deficiencies. Once the scope of work is defined a decision can be made whether the remedial work can be performed by a contractor or trained staff. |
