Appendix 3: Cost Estimation Data
A. Numbers of Facilities
The following table shows the data collected on the numbers of facilities in each facility group. Generally, this data is collected from the 2007 U.S. Economic Census for private facilities and the Census of Employment and Wages for public facilities. Some facilities, such as stadiums and convention centers, have other sources as noted in the table below. Data for all facilities were adjusted to estimates for 2010 using growth rates from the February 2010 McGraw-Hill Dodge Construction Potentials Bulletin.

B. Annual Growth Rates and Alteration Rates of Facilities
3B1: Annual Growth Rates
The following table lists the rates of new construction for each facility group. These are determined from the February 2010 Dodge Construction Potentials Bulletin, which counts the number of new construction and major alteration projects for certain facility types. These projects are compared to the data on existing numbers of buildings to determine a growth rate per facility type. If no data is collected on the new construction data, a 1% growth rate is assumed. Facilities which posted growth rates greater than 1.2% were assumed not to be able to sustain such high rates of growth for 15 consecutive years and growth was capped at 1.2%. It is assumed that public facilities have the same growth rate as their counterparts in the private sector.

3B2: Facility Alteration Rates
The following tables show the alterations rates used for the alterations schedule of the facility types included in the Final RIA. The first table below shows the alterations rates calculated from historical data on when buildings were constructed for specified building types in the EIA's 2003 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey and given the alterations schedule shown on the second row (e.g. 15 years for lodging facilities). The second table shows how the assumptions made for each of these building types applied to each of the facility types.

C. Assumptions With Respect to Estimated Typical Facility Size
This table includes with the Department's architects' assumptions on the typical facility size of each facility grouping in order to determine the estimated number of elements per facility. These assumptions were reviewed by the Cost RAP panelists. The estimated typical facility size was then used to infer the number of elements now subject to new or revised requirements (number of bathrooms, handrails, etc). The publicly owned counterparts of the facilities listed below are assumed to be the same facility size.

[1] Consistent with the Access Board's regulatory analysis, play areas in this analysis have been modeled based on the following characteristics: "small" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at smaller facilities (i.e., child care centers, restaurants, motels, shopping malls) and to have approximately 8 play components; "medium" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at elementary schools and to have approximately 14 play components; and "large" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at parks and other large entertainment facilities (i.e., zoos or amusement parks) and to have approximately 28 play components. Accessible routes have been calculated to correspond to these respective play area sizes.

[1] Consistent with the Access Board's regulatory analysis, play areas in this analysis have been modeled based on the following characteristics: "small" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at smaller facilities (i.e., child care centers, restaurants, motels, shopping malls) and to have approximately 8 play components; "medium" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at elementary schools and to have approximately 14 play components; and "large" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at parks and other large entertainment facilities (i.e., zoos or amusement parks) and to have approximately 28 play components. Accessible routes have been calculated to correspond to these respective play area sizes.
F. Likelihood of Element in a Typical Facility
This table represents the Cost RAP panelists' assumptions and HDR's assumptions regarding the likelihood that a typical individual facility will have each element and will be affected by the incremental change to the requirement. For example, it is assumed that large facilities such as stadiums will be affected by the requirement for public entrances and that 25% of all stadiums are large enough to have the number of public entrance doors that will be affected by the change.
The high and low values that create the range of the likelihood are plus and minus 10 percentage points of the most likely values if the most likely value is less than 50% or plus and minus 20 percentage points of the most likely values if the most likely value is greater than or equal to 50%.
# | Requirement | Conditions for change | Likelihood that Element at Facility AND Subject to Change for Compliance |
---|---|---|---|
1 |
Public Entrances |
Large newly constructed facility (e.g., arenas, stadiums, convention centers, and shopping malls) will have multiple doors intended to be used as public entrances/exits. |
25% |
2 |
Maneuvering Clearance or Standby Power for Automatic Doors |
Facility (a) with an occupant load of less than 50 persons (b) installs an in-swinging automatic door that serves as part of an accessible means of egress. Some of these small facilities may simply choose not to install an automatic door. |
10% |
3 |
Automatic Door Break-Out Openings |
Facility (a) installs an automatic door that serves as part of a means of egress (b) that does not have standby power and (c) there are no manual swinging doors serving the same means of egress. |
50% |
4 |
Thresholds at Doorways |

G. Likelihood of Element in a Typical Facility (Varying by Facility)
For some requirements, the likelihood of an element at a facility and subject to change in order to become compliant under the Rule is assumed to vary by the type of facility (hotel versus store, etc.) These likelihoods also have a "most likely" value, as well as high and low values which are equal to plus and minus 5% of the most likely likelihood value.
The most likely value is presented in the table below; conditions for the likelihood are shown separately at the end of this table. The facility-requirement matches labeled as N/A represent that the requirement is not typically present in the facility, so the likelihood that a facility would have the element to comply does not apply.
The publicly owned counterparts of the facilities below generally are assumed to have an equal likelihood of an element both existing and requiring change to bring it into compliance with 2004 ADAAG (or other alternate baseline). However, the likelihood of change for the requirements for accessible means of entry to swimming pools (Req. ## 79 & 112), accessible saunas and steam rooms (Req. ## 72 & 111), and play areas (Req. ## 99-104) at public (Title II) facilities in this Appendix take into account estimates of pre-existing compliance (or, in the case of new construction or alterations, projected compliance) with 2004 ADAAG due to overlapping program access requirements. See Section 2.4.1. First, for public Aquatic Centers / Swimming Pools, the likelihood that an accessible means of entry would need to be added (via lift or sloped entry) in order to comply with 2004 ADAAG was reduced by 70% based on sources cited in the Access Board's regulatory assessment for recreational facilities that about 70% of existing pools already provide one or more accessible means of pool entry. Id. Second, for saunas and steam rooms, this same percentage (70%) was used to scale back the likelihood for change both because saunas and steams rooms are frequently co-located with swimming pools at recreational facilities (and thus are assumed to share common accessibility levels and features) and because no public survey data exists for saunas. Third, a series of recently published surveys of play areas at large urban parks and school districts nationwide showed that the vast majority of existing play areas at these facilities, as well as play areas expected to be constructed or renovated over a five-tear planning horizon through 2011, already use (or plan to use) accessible surface materials that are compliant with 2004 ADAAG. See "Playgrounds in the Nation's Largest Urban Park Districts," Henderson Consulting Services, Inc. (March 2006); "Playgrounds in the Nation's Largest School Districts," Henderson Consulting Services, Inc. (March 2006) (both surveys available at http://www.fibar.com/Playgrounds/news.htm). Based on this survey data, the likelihoods for change for public play areas was scaled back by 50% for play areas built since 1992 (when the current ADA Standards for new construction took effect), and 25% for play areas built prior to 1992.

Conditions for change for the above requirements:
Requirement Number:
70. Accessible Route to Exercise Machines and Equipment: Facility provides accessible exercise machines but they are not on an accessible route. At hotels and motels, these likelihoods are an average of estimates by DOJ architects concerning the likelihood that transient lodging facilities would have exercise facilities that would need a change to become compliant and the survey data submitted by commenters on lodging facilities that have exercise facilities (irrespective of whether they are likely already accessible or not).
71. Accessible Exercise Machines and Equipment: Facility provides exercise machines but they lack adequate clear floor space. Again, at hotels and motels, these likelihoods are an average of the estimated likelihood value by DOJ architects used in the Initial RIA and survey data submitted by commenters on lodging facilities that have exercise facilities (irrespective of whether they are likely already accessible or not).
72. Accessible Saunas and Steam Rooms (NC): Facility provides a sauna or steam room.
73. Accessible Lockers: Facility provides lockers. Alternate conditions: Facility provides more than 20 of each type of locker (per cluster or facility).
74. Accessible Dressing Rooms, Fitting Rooms, or Locker Rooms: Facility provides dressing rooms, fitting rooms or locker rooms. In existing facilities, the change will apply to dressing and fitting rooms that provide a curtain instead of a door (if they have a door, they would already meet floor space requirements). Alternate conditions: Facility provides more than 20 dressing rooms, fitting rooms or locker rooms (per cluster or facility).
75. Wheelchair Spaces in Team or Player Seating Areas: Facility provides team or player seating area.
76. Accessible Route in Court Sport Facilities: Facility has court with no accessible route connecting both sides of the court.
77. Accessible Route to Bowling Lanes conditions: Facility has more than 20 of each type of bowling lane.
78. Shooting Facilities with Firing Positions conditions: Facility has more than 20 of each type of firing position.
79. Primary Accessible Means of Entry to Pools (NC/ALT): Facility has or would have installed a pool with only inaccessible steps or ladders. Will apply to hotels and schools only with respect to the proportion that have pools.
80. Accessible Means of Entry to Wading Pools: Facility has or would have installed a wading pool with only steps.
81. Accessible Means of Entry to Spas: Newly constructed facility would have installed spa or hot tub with only steps or seating areas. Existing facility has such a spa (most common in hotel hot tubs).Will only apply to facilities that have spas or hot tubs.
82. Accessible Route to Boating Facilities: Facility has or would have been built with no accessible route.
87. Accessible Route to Fishing Piers: Facility has or would have been built with no accessible route.
88. Accessible Fishing Piers and Platforms: Facility has fishing piers or platforms with railings, guards or handrails.
89. Accessible Route to Golf Courses: Facility has or would have been built with no accessible route.
90. Accessible Teeing Grounds, Putting Greens, and Weather Stations (Alt/BR): Existing facility has a putting green, weather shelter, and/or teeing ground. For low end of range: Terrain is such that it is infeasible to make forward teeing ground accessible.
91. Accessible Teeing Grounds, Putting Greens, and Weather Stations (NC): Newly constructed facility will install a putting green, weather shelter, and/or teeing ground.
92. Accessible Practice Putting Greens, Practice Teeing Grounds, and Teeing Stations at Driving Ranges: Facility has or will construct a practice putting green, practice teeing ground, and/or teeing stations at driving range.
99. Accessible Route to Play Components (BR): Will only apply to facilities with "medium" or "large" existing play areas that are assumed to exceed 1,000 square feet. ("Small" play areas are assumed to be 1,000 square feet or less in size and, therefore, are exempt from regulatory barrier removal requirements.)
100. Accessible Play Components (BR): Will only apply to facilities with "medium" or "large" existing play areas that are assumed to exceed 1,000 square feet. ("Small" play areas are assumed to occupy 1,000 square feet or less and, therefore, are exempt from regulatory barrier removal requirements.)
101. Accessible Route to Play Components (ALT): Applies to facilities with "small," "medium," or "large" existing play areas undergoing alterations.
102. Accessible Play Components (ALT): Applies to facilities with "small," "medium," or "large" existing play areas undergoing alterations.
103. Accessible Route to Play Components (NC): Applies to facilities with "small," "medium," or "large" newly constructed play areas.
104. Accessible Play Components (NC): Applies to facilities with "small," "medium," or "large" newly constructed play areas.
106. Post Secondary Multi-Story Dorm Facility
109. Social Service Establishments – Elevator Access (NC)

111. Accessible Saunas and Steam Rooms (ALT/BR): Will only apply to facilities that have existing saunas or steam rooms seating more than two persons.
112. Primary Accessible Means of Entry to Pools (BR): Will only apply to existing swimming pools at public (Title II) facilities and to existing private (Title III-covered) swimming pools with more than 300 linear feet of pool wall.
H. Unit Costs
Unit costs were developed per requirement to represent the high, median and low costs of compliance for an average facility based on the minimum additional cost required to bring a facility into compliance with 2004 ADAAG from the previous 1991 Standards. If current fire and safety standards exceed the 1991 Standards, then fire and safety are used as the baseline to calculate incremental costs. Not all costs will apply to all facilities. Less stringent requirements would not generate cost savings for existing facilities.
Two notes with respect to unit costs for barrier removal listed in this table bear notation. First, since existing Title-II covered facilities/requirements must comply with program access requirements only, "barrier removal" costs with respect to such facilities or requirements is technically a misnomer. However, for ease of reference, unit costs for modifications to existing such facilities/requirements – irrespective of whether covered by Title II or III – are simply herein referred to as "Barrier Removal Costs." Second, when a requirement is less stringent in 2004 ADAAG (as compared to the 1991 Standards), it is listed in this table as having zero costs for BR on the common sense assumption that facilities would not undertake to remove an element that was only no longer necessary.

I. Operation and Maintenance Cost
These two tables present the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs. The first table lists general O&M costs by category or type of equipment. The second table applies these costs to specific elements in terms of the incremental O&M costs per element due to the requirements. Costs continue for 40 years.
Maintenance Type | Operating Cost Low- Med- High | Explanation | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Standard Maintenance |
2% |
3% |
4% |
Conforms to a standard commercial/ federal benchmark that maintenance costs represent 2-4% of initial cost |
High Use Maintenance |
2% |
3% |
5% |
Addresses application (exterior/high use) as well as conforms to benchmark for grounds, hardscape and exterior equipment maintenance |
Extraordinary Wear/Tear |
3% |
5% |
7% |
Addresses type of use and length of use (24/7). Also reflects higher costs arising from user population (students, prisoners – need for escorts, added security etc.). |
Equipment Maintenance |
4% |
5% |
6% |
Addresses items with electronic control units, software-driven controllers, specialty use/applications which almost always require either specialty annual maintenance contracts or corrective service performed by skilled technicians. Both are contributors to higher maintenance costs. |

[2] As applied to public dwelling units that comply with UFAS, which is less stringent than the new (more stringent) requirements for dwelling units.
Source: Prepared by McKnight Associates using above-noted documents, and adjusted for selected requirements as follows: 1) zero O&M costs were assigned to those requirements which would not have any incremental O&M costs (above table); 2) O&M costs for requirements #2 (Maneuvering Clearance or Standby Power for Automatic Doors), #15 (Power-Operated Doors for Platform Lifts), #16 (Alterations to Existing Elevators), and #17 (Platform Lifts in Hotel Guest Rooms and Dwelling Units) were decreased slightly to reflect only the incremental costs of adjustments to existing elements; and 3) the O&M costs for #27, (Ambulatory Accessible Toilet Compartments) was increased slightly to reflect unit maintenance of added elements.
J. Facility Space Cost
This chart lists those facilities in which it was determined that the requirements which have a change in productive space that would directly impact sales/revenue. Space values for non-office facilities are calculated using construction cost per sq. ft. for facility scaled by the ratio of income per SF of office space to construction cost per SF of office space. The 2005 Construction Cost per square foot estimates from RS Means are escalated to 2009 estimates using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Producer Price Index for New Construction. Only facilities that list a space cost proxy are assumed to have sales revenue impacted by a change in productive space brought about by the requirements. The space costs per facility listed here are the assumed most likely costs, the high and low costs are plus and minus 20 percent of the most likely costs.
Note that for the Valet Parking requirement (Req. # 20), approximately one-fifth of the space cost proxy is used, since the space cost proxy represents the value of space inside the related facility, rather than the value of parking spaces.

K. Changes in Productive Space Per Requirement
This table shows the amount of space (sq ft) that is an incremental change brought about by these requirements. Changes in productive space are included only if the change is likely to have a direct impact on sales/revenues. Other requirements not listed here are assumed to have zero impact on productive space.

L. Years Before Replacement
Most elements should last for the life of the building (which is assumed to be 40 years). Those that do not are noted below. It is assumed that the replacement costs for these elements are 100 percent of the alterations costs. For the requirements which are assumed to be replaced more than every 40 years, the most likely year before replacement value is shown below. The high and low values are assumed to be plus and minus 10 percent of the most likely value.

M. Transaction Costs
In response to public comments, this Final RIA includes a stress test that assesses the relative impact (per facility group) of including a cost element that monetizes estimated indirect costs for facility owners or operators to read the Final Rules or technical assistance materials in order to determine whether there are elements at their respective existing facilities that are subject to change under one or more supplemental requirements. This indirect cost is analyzed in the sensitivity analysis, Section 6.3. The value of time of a facility owner is measured by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' average hourly wage for a management occupation. In May 2008, this was found to be $48.23.
N. Example of Cost Estimation
This section presents individual calculations of the costs resulting from the Final Rules implementation at indoor service establishments. The results presented here may not match those in the Final RIA due to rounding.
According to the 2007 Economic Census, there are 3.8 million indoor service establishments.
The following eight requirements are assumed to be present in a typical indoor service establishment and will require a change to become compliant.

Costs are calculated for barrier removal, alterations and new construction each as described above:
Costijkl = [# of facilitiesij][# of elements per facilityik] [likelihood of a requirement at facility ik] [unit cost per elementjkl]
Where the subscripts are defined as:
i denotes the facility;
j denotes the type of construction;
k denotes the type of requirement; and
l denotes the category of cost (capital, O&M, productive space, or replacement).
The components of this equation are listed below.

For the first requirement listed, Door and Gate Surfaces, for indoor service establishments, the equation is as follows:
Total Capital Cost = [(3.8 million indoor service establishments 1 Element per Facility 25% Likelihood of Occurrence $0 BR Costs 50% of elements being readily achievable)] 0 Safe Harbor Factor + (3.8 million 1 25% $0 Alt Costs 2% of existing buildings being altered) + (3.8 million 1 25% $310 NC Costs 0.2% of existing buildings are newly constructed) = Total Capital Cost = $0.59 million
Repeating this calculation for the other seven requirements at indoor service establishments yields $170 million in capital costs. Although some requirements have a BR cost for compliance at indoor service establishments, in the primary baseline scenario safe harbor is assumed and these costs are dropped out.

The next costs to consider in the total cost estimate for these eight requirements are the recurring costs, O&M and loss of productive space. O&M costs, as described above, are commonly expressed as a percentage of the capital construction costs and are applied to each type of construction cost. These annual O&M costs are estimated by multiplying the O&M percentage of capital costs by each type of total capital construction cost.

The other recurring cost to facilities is the loss of productive space. The value of space for indoor service establishments is assumed to be $18 per square foot (sf). Each element is assumed to either impact the productive space of all facilities or not. For indoor service establishments, the water closet clearance in single user toilet rooms – out swinging doors is assumed to take away, on average, 6.4 square feet in barrier removal and alterations. In new construction, this requirement can save 0.6 square feet of productive space. The cost of lost productive space is calculated by multiplying the estimated space impact per requirement times the number of elements in each facility times the likelihood of a requirement at the facility times the number of facilities.

Note: Negative costs are cost savings.
All of the elements facing construction costs at indoor service establishments are assumed to not need replacing during the 40 year lifecycle of a building.
The annual total cost for all indoor service establishments is the sum of total construction costs, total space costs, and total O&M costs.
Annual Total Cost = Construction costs + Space costs + O&M costs + Replacement Costs = $170 million Construction + -$22 million Space + $0.2 million O&M + $0 Replacement = $148 million
The present value of total annual costs for indoor service establishments over the 40 year planning period is $2.2 B. The net present value of costs and benefits for indoor service establishments is $1.8 B.
[1] Consistent with the Access Board's regulatory analysis, play areas in this analysis have been modeled based on the following characteristics: "small" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at smaller facilities (i.e., child care centers, restaurants, motels, shopping malls) and to have approximately 8 play components; "medium" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at elementary schools and to have approximately 14 play components; and "large" play areas are assumed to be located predominately at parks and other large entertainment facilities (i.e., zoos or amusement parks) and to have approximately 28 play components. Accessible routes have been calculated to correspond to these respective play area sizes.
[2] In altered public housing facilities, the requirement only applies if the alteration is to a unit required to be accessible, and only when either a bathroom or a kitchen is substantially altered and at least one other room is also altered, or when the building has more than 15 units and has been vacated for purposes of alterations.

[4] The Department is publishing figures which illustrate and compare two different layouts for single-user toilet rooms with out-swinging doors. The first presents a layout typically used in new construction; this layout does not comply with 2004 ADAAG water closet clearance requirements. The second is the Department's presentation of a layout that complies with the 2004 ADAAG requirement for increased water closet clearance, but also uses less overall floor space. The Department expects that the publication of these illustrations together with technical assistance materials will result in many new facilities using the second layout and its reduced space costs. Thus, this requirement is costed with savings in productive space for NC but costs in productive space in ALT and BR on the understanding that a change to such a layout (requiring moving walls) is not be financially feasible in ALT or BR.
