BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The federal Americans with DisabilitiesAct (ADA) was adopted in 1990. The ADA required public agencies, including cities, to perform a self-evaluation of facilities and programs to determine what needed to be done to achieve program accessibility. Based upon this evaluation, the public agency had to develop a transition plan for barrier -removal projects that would require more than a year to complete. The City's Transition Plan was adopted on November 2, 2005. The Council action on that date approved the Transition Plan. The section related to the Grape Bowl, however, was excluded from the Council's action. The Grape Bowl section has been amended to include a listing of completed improvements and future planned improvements and is provided as ExhibitA to this Council Communication. Figures provided in Appendix 4 of the Transition Plan present the future planned improvements. Staff recommendsthat City Council adopt a resolution approving the Amended ADA Transition Plan. FISCAL IMPACT: FUNDING AVAILABLE: FWS/pmf Attachment The Transition Plan reflects projects that will have to be approved as part of future budgeted capital improvement projects. Not applicable. APPROVED: F. Wally S delin Public Works Director Konradt Bartlam, City Manager K:\WP\PROJ ECTS\PARKS\GrapeBowl\CTransition Plan. doc 2/8/2011 0 ith TRAN TION PLAN 2005 (Amended February 16, 2011) Transition Plan Background The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law and was adopted in 1990. The ADA required Public Agencies including Cities to perform a self-evaluation of facilities and programs to determine what needed to be done to achieve program accessibility. Based on this evaluation, the public agency had to develop a transition plan for those barrier removal projects that would require more than a year to remove. ADA required as a minimum that the transition plan include the following: 1) List the physical barriers 2) Detail methods to remove the barriers 3) Provide a schedule 4) Name the official responsible for the plans' implementation. This plan had to be completed by July 26, 1992. Any structural modifications had to be completed by July 26, 1995. To comply with ADA and meet these deadlines, the City of Lodi, in 1992, established an ADA committee comprised of representatives from Public Works, Police, Fire, City Manager's office, Human Resources, Parks & Recreation, and Building Inspection with the Director of the Community Development Department as the chairperson. The City completed a very thorough self-evaluation of structural barriers; however, a Transitional Plan was not approved by the City Council. Notwithstanding, many of the barriers noted in the evaluation have been corrected and are listed in Appendix 1 of this plan. In August of 2004, it was brought to the attention of City staff by a member of the disabled community that some City facilities were not in compliance. Immediately after this disclosure, the City reinstated the ADA committee with the same Department representation as in 1992. The committee has since added a member of the disabled community and City Attorney's Office. The first task was to complete another self-evaluation to determine what barriers remained. This was completed by each of the various departments in January of 2005. The departments used a checklist using the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the California Building Code (CBC). The focus of the committee gave priority to correcting or improving the accessibility to facilities open to large numbers of the general public. Although ADA has no requirements for periodic assessment and gives Cities some latitude for program accessibility, the recommendation of the Committee was to be compliant with current disabled access regulations. Furthermore, the committee recommends a schedule and method of compliance by maintaining an updated transition plan that will satisfy current ADA guidelines and California Building Code requirements. KAWP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc 1 10/19/05 The committee has prepared this plan to reflect the City's desire to continue to provide a realistic approach to bringing its facilities into compliance. The plan lists the most significant and visible barriers to the disabled community, details the method of compliance with ADAAG and CBC, provides a schedule for completion, and the name(s) of the official(s) responsible for the plans implementation. The name of the official(s) responsible for the plan's implementation: Randy Hate- Konradt Bartlam, Community Development Director eery Her -A . Dennis Canright, Building Official K:\WP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc 2 10/19/05 Transition Plan Barrier Identification and Removal Schedule The following is a list of significant physical barriers for the disabled community that were identified during the survey of all City Facilities completed in January, 2005 or that were brought to the staff's attention by the disabled community. The following are scheduled to be completed in 2005: 1. Elm Street parking lot accessible parking stalls Work has begun; estimated completion date is December, 2005. 2. Carnegie Forum accessible parking stalls Work has begun; estimated completion date is December, 2005. 3. City Website Redesigning of website is in process allowing utilization of adaptable reading devices; estimated completion date is December, 2005. The following will require one year or more to complete: Accessible parking stalls located in the right of way in front of Lodi Stadium 12 Cinemas (north side of Elm St.). Plans will be prepared by Public Works to correct the curb ramps, install a van accessible stall and detail the proper signage. Request to be made in 06/07 budget with an estimated completion 07/08. 2. North entrance of Hutchins Street Square Plans are being prepared to change the grade elevation to correct the ramp slope and parking areas. Request to be made in 06/07 budget with an estimated completion 07/08. 3. Library front entrance Provide a level compliant landing, parking and path of travel. These corrections will be completed by September, 2006. 4. City owned parking lots The attached appendix #2 lists each lot and the recommended corrections. KAWP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc 3 10/19/05 5. City sidewalks and curb ramps The City has an ongoing sidewalk repair program. The Public Works Dept. has annually obtained CDBG funds for ramps and installations. The City has been installing curb ramps for decades and sidewalks were surveyed in 1993 for lack of curb ramps. At that time, there were approximately 1,450 curb returns lacking ramps. This figure did not include older ramps that might not be compliant with current standards or other locations that may have an access barrier such as a narrow walkway due to an obstruction such as a pole, landscaping, sidewalk defects or curbs much like an alley approach, etc. The City has been installing new ramps under a number of circumstances, including, new roadway construction or reconstruction, some maintenance projects and under specific projects such as the Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG). The Public Works Department has routinely obtained CDBG funds for ramp installations and the current grant is $150,000. While the amount of funds needed for any particular location will vary depending on such factors as pole relocations and drainage inlets, this amount of funding would cover approximately 15 curb returns. The City inspects sidewalks on a 3 year cycle with the last completed in 2004. However, past surveys have not addressed all ADA compliance issues, such as, obstructions from poles, overhanging shrubbery, etc. These issues will be addressed in the next survey in 2007 or earlier if staff becomes available. 6. Assistive listening devices for Carnegie Forum and Hutchins Street Square Theater Provide assistive listening devices for individuals with hearing impairments. Request to be made in 06/07 budget with estimated completion of 07/08. Interim measures include individual assistance upon request. 7. City parks Provide accessible parking stalls, path of travel and repairs. The attached appendix #3 lists each of the parks and the recommended corrections. 8. Fire Stations Fire Station #1 this time. Not open to the public. No accessibility improvements planned at Fire Station #2: Defer improvements regarding parking and path of travel until a decision on rehabilitation is made. KAWP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc 4 10/19/05 Fire Station #3: Provide one van accessible stall at the front entrance on north side of driveway on Ham Ln. This will be requested in the 06/07 budget and estimated completion is 07/08. Interim measures to provide accessibility will include providing assistance for the persons with disabilities when any of the stations are used as a voter polling place. The front door of fire station #3 will be repaired and provided with lever action hardware, provided with a level landing and signage over the door alarm. These items will be corrected in 2005. K:\WP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc cJ 10/19/05 Grape Bowl (Amended February 16, 2011) The Grape Bowl and all of its facilities including the stadium, concession booths, restrooms, field house, press box, and parking lot is out of compliance. A report was prepared for The City by the consulting firm ELS Architecture and Urban Design in 2002. This report analyzed the areas of the Grape Bowl that were not ADA compliant and suggested two options. The cost estimate for Option 1 (entry plaza on southwest corner) was $3.255 million and Option 2 (tunneling new entries at the north and south berms) was $3.75 million. Based on the increase in The Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index from the date of the ELS estimate of January 2002 to August 2005 of 15.75%, Option 1 has increased to $3.8 million and Option 2 to $4.3 million. The report does not address many other areas that have deficiencies such as the field house, some bleacher sections, and playing field. No estimate has been obtained for these improvements. As an interim measure, the use of portable buildings for restrooms and a concession on the east end of stadium was reviewed. The cost of these improvements was determined to be too great and did not correct the more serious accessibility and exiting issues. Interim measures should be discussed as part of an overall plan as described in Phase I. In 2010, a number of improvements were completed at the Grape Bowl as described below. Completed Improvements 1. An accessible path of travel and save exit way was constructed along with ADA compliant parking stalls serving the lower and upper bleacher areas. 2. ADA seating areas were constructed in the upper bleacher area on the south side of the stadium and cross slope deficiencies along the path of travel were corrected. 3. Restroom and concession buildings were removed from the south and north side of the stadium. Portable restroom and concession facilities are provided for stadium events. 4. Lighting improvements included the removal of all old fixtures from the light towers and the installation of energy efficient light fixtures. Maior Deficiencies A. The lack of an accessible path of travel and safe exit way. This includes the path of travel from the public right of way and parking lot to all areas of the stadium. There should be an inter -connected path to the bleachers, concession, restrooms, field house and field. B. Ramps are too steep and exceed the 1 unit vertical to 12 units horizontal or 8.33% and are not provided with landings and handrails or guardrails. C. Cross slopes exceed 2%. D. Grade elevations and unpaved or deteriorated asphalt creates tripping hazards and inaccessibility. KAWP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc 6 10/19/05 E. Bleachers — stairs damaged. F. Restrooms — dilapidated and not accessible. (Removed in 2010) G. Concessions — dilapidated and not accessible. (Removed in 2010) H. Field House - dilapidated and not accessible. ... fz,r Own The seating capacity of the Grape Bowl is set at 7,700, with 78 handicap seats and 77 semi -ambulatory seats. At the present, there are no concession or restroom facilities, and organizers of events at the Grape Bowl are required to provide these facilities as needed. K:\WP\PROJECTS\PARKS\ADA Transition Plan.doc 7 10/19/05 Future Improvements The City Council has adopted an ADA Transition Plan for the Grape Bowl to correct remaining ADA deficiencies. This plan is presented in Appendix 4. The principal elements of the plan include: 1. Removal of the embankment at the west end of the stadium and construction of an entry plaza that will include new ticket, concession and restroom facilities. 2. Construction of path of travel and safe exiting improvements to accommodate the existing seating capacity within the stadium. 3. Construction of ADA compliant seating within the upper and lower bleacher areas on both sides of the stadium. Next Phase The next improvements planned for construction at the Grape Bowl include partial removal of the earthen berm at the west end; partial construction of restroom, concession and ticket dispensaries within the entry plaza; and additional path of travel and seating improvements on the upper and lower south side of the stadium. RM Re' e NMI Future Phases Multiple construction phases will be required to implement the Grape Bowl ADA Transition Plan. The phasing has not been determined but is constrained by available funding. .rL�}fTT�.T.�11:'■TT�::T.11►-TT-T.' .r_r.�:ri . . i.� :►�:r.�:r.�:tri:■:�:zta�rrttire�amza�:�ae:�s=r.�:�n: .

A report was prepared for The City by the consulting firm ELS Architecture and Urban Design in 2002. This report analyzed the areas of the Grape Bowl that were notADA compliant and suggested two options. The cost estimate for Option 1 (entry plaza on southwest corner) was $3.255 million and Option 2 (tunneling new entries at the north and south berms) was $3.75 million. Based on the increase in The Engineering News Record Construction Cost Indexfrom the date of the ELS estimate of January 2002 to August 2005 of 15.75%, Option 1 has increased to $3.8 million and Option 2 to $4.3 million. The report does not address many other areas that have deficiencies such as the field house, some bleacher sections, and playing field. No estimate has been obtained for these improvements. As an interim measure, the use of portable buildings for restrooms and a concession on the east end of stadium was reviewed. The cost of these improvements was determined to be too great and did not correct the more serious accessibility and exiting issues. Interim measures should be discussed as part of an overall plan as described in Phase I. In 2010, a number of improvements were completed at the Grape Bowl as described below. Completed Improvements 1. An accessible path of travel and save exit way was constructed along with ADA compliant parking stalls serving the lower and uQper bleacher areas. 2. ADA seating areas were constructed in the upper bleacher area on the south side of the stadium and cross slope deficiencies along the path of travel were corrected. 3. Restroom and concession buildingswere removed from the south and north side of the stadium. Portable restroom and concession facilities are provided for stadium events. 4. Lishting improvements included the removal of all old fixtures from the light towers and the installation of energy efficient light fixtures. Maior Deficiencies A. The lack of an accessible path of travel and safe exit way. This includes the path of travel from the public right of way and parking lot to all areas of the stadium. There should be an inter -connected path to the bleachers, concession, restrooms, field house and field. B.
