The City uses the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) as the best management practice for work within the public Right-of-Way (ROW) but has not yet fully adopted PROWAG as a standard through a City ordinance. The Street Transportation Department Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan will be updated with PROWAG as the standard and allow for 'Technical Infeasibility' studies to provide lesser options that still meet the 2010 ADA Standard. The City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department is requesting the development of an ADA Transition Plan to comply with the ADA and the PROWAG regarding its public ROW services contained wholly or in part in the Public Right-of-Way. The firm will work with the City to define standards, conduct an evaluation identifying where deficiencies limit accessibility, develop a transition plan, and integrate data collected into existing GIS based systems. All work shall conform to the US Access Board, Federal Highway Administration, and Arizona Department of Transportation policies and procedures. Although some facilities have been constructed and/or renovated in the recent past, changes in ADA codes and best business practices have evolved, a survey will be required to ensure compliance on the City-owned facilities within the public ROW are as follows:
ADA Ramps and Curb Cuts.
Public Sidewalks (Pedestrian Access Route), Walkways, and Paths.
Crosswalks (marked and unmarked), Intersections, and Traffic Circles.
Audible Pedestrian Signals (APS).
On-street parking (metered, unmetered, and parking lots).
Any activity nodes or park-like facilities managed by the Street Transportation Department (e.g. Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Park). The City currently has an undefined number of public sidewalks (of various widths), and ADA ramps and curb cuts. Phoenix also manages 1,167 traffic signals, and 84 pedestrian beacons. Further, Phoenix operates two revenue programs within the public Right-of-Way (On-Street Parking and Micromobility Rentals) Questions pertaining to this selection process or contract issues should be directed to the Contracts Specialist, Kathleen Kennedy at (602) 534-5789 or email kathleen.kennedy@phoenix.gov.
