In plain language — from the agenda backup
The city wants to hire Access Innovation Partners to put together an ADA transition plan and self-evaluation report for Management Services — basically a roadmap for making sure city operations are accessible to people with disabilities. The contract runs 27 months and tops out at $500,000, with $250,000 already lined up in the Management Services operating budget and the rest depending on future budgets coming through.
