ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan
The City is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms for development of the ADA
Self Evaluation and Transition Plan for the public right-of-way.
Posting Date: March 9, 2026
Questions Due Date: March 23, 2026
Proposals Due: March 30, 2026, at 2:00PM (PST)
The City of Redmond, Washington (the “City”) requests interested parties to submit proposals for the
above referenced Request for Proposals (RFP).
Introduction
Title II of the ADA and Section 504 requires the City of Redmond, as part of a self-evaluation, to
assess the services, policies, and practices to modify any that discriminate against people with
disabilities. In 2007, the City of Redmond developed an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan.
This project will develop a new ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan for the public right-of-way to
include elements in 28 CFR 35.105 and 28 CFR 35.150.d. The updated ADA Self-Evaluation and
Transition Plan will incorporate both quantitative data and qualitative insights gathered through an
outreach process, with a focus on engaging the ADA community. This approach will identify specific
barriers faced by individuals with disabilities when walking or rolling in the City’s public right-of-way,
shaping strategies and project prioritization to address their needs effectively.
The selected consultant will work with the City to develop an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition
Plan that meets federal, state and city requirements. In 2025, the City completed an initial self-
evaluation of ADA data on sidewalks, curb ramps, and push buttons. The assessment identified data
gaps that need to be completed prior to development of the ADA Transition Plan. Self-Evaluation
component of the ADA Transition Plan will be to review the assessment completed in 2025 and

collect the missing data. The ADA Transition Plan will develop a prioritized schedule to fund and
construct improvements that remedy identified barriers resulting in an accessible transportation
network.
Background
This ADA Transition Plan for the public right-of-way will focus on three main City assets. Sidewalks,
driveways as part of the sidewalk network, ADA curb ramps, and ADA push buttons. The goal is to
incorporate other elements of the public right-of-way in the future. The City anticipates awarding the
contract to one consultant.
The City anticipates a notice to proceed by July 2026 and project completion expected by Q3 2027.
Minimum Requirements
Consultants must have experience working with a mid-to large-size city within the last five years for
services like those expected by the City for this contract, including level-of-service development,
multimodal transportation planning, ADA codes and compliance, GIS data collection and analysis
using field observations and measurements, and identifying and scoping capital projects.
Consultants must have extensive knowledge of Federal and Washington State rules and regulations.
Prior experience working with the City of Redmond is preferred. Finally, consultants must have
experience conducting outreach and engagement activities that are ADA accessible and inclusive.
Scope of Work
Consultant Scope
The development of an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan will directly identify barriers and
issues to accessibility and develop projects and strategies that lead to a more accessible public
right-of-way for our most vulnerable road users. The Self-Evaluation component of the ADA Self-
Evaluation and Transition Plan will be an assessment of all facets of accessibility in Redmond’s public
right-of-way for sidewalks, driveways that are part of the sidewalk network, push buttons, and curb
ramps. The City has identified more than 5,300 curb ramp locations within city limits. Of these,
approximately 500 locations still need measurements, and about 1,400 locations do not have a curb
ramp installed. Push buttons accessibility and hardware type must be evaluated for approximately
880 push buttons. The City has also identified about 240 miles of sidewalk with an unknown number
of alley and driveway entrances and obstructions. Further detail of existing data is provided under
Task 3.
The ADA Transition Plan will use the information gathered during the Self Evaluation to develop a
prioritized schedule for improvements. This prioritized schedule will highlight the City’s funding
needs to construct improvements that remedy all identified barriers during the Self Evaluation,
resulting in a safe, equitable, and accessible transportation network.

two separate times, once near the beginning of the project, and once after self-evaluation
and prior to prioritization of barriers.

understanding of the factors the disabled community finds important for updating pedestrian

consultant team will assist the City in holding up to three two-hour focus group meetings at
an accessible location. Support from the consultant team will include development of a
facilitation guide and on-site facilitation. Participants may be recruited through City contacts

Data is the foundation of this project, providing a clear understanding of what accessibility barriers

on data previously collected by the City and collection of missing data.
The City completed a review of its existing data on ADA curb ramps, sidewalks, and pedestrian push
buttons in 2025. The data review identified some gaps in City ADA data that may be needed for
development of the ADA Transition Plan. The Consultant will review the data collection analysis from
2025 and identify any additional data that may be needed for transition plan development.
