The City of Avondale is soliciting proposals under solicitation HR 26-068 for professional services to develop a comprehensive ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The selected vendor will be responsible for integrating existing parks and public right-of-way survey data, conducting accessibility reviews of city buildings and facilities, and performing a Title II program, policy, and procedure self-evaluation. Key deliverables include a coordinated and defensible transition plan, a barrier remediation prioritization framework, GIS-compatible data and reporting tools, and the provision of staff training and public engagement support. The project must adhere to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and current Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines. The contract is structured as a firm, fixed not-to-exceed fee agreement with an anticipated award date of September 30, 2026, and a notice to proceed on October 7, 2026. Vendors must submit proposals electronically via the OpenGov portal by the deadline, adhering to an 18-page limit for core criteria. Evaluation is based on a points-based scoring method and includes a review of past performance via verification forms. The agreement requires the consultant to maintain a safety plan compliant with OSHA and NIOSH standards, follow a specific AI use policy, and ensure all public-facing documents are web-accessible. Payment is processed electronically within 30 days of invoice approval by the City's Accounts Payable Division.
