Attachment K
Existing Facilities
Please Note: Paragraph 27 of the
Settlement Agreement requires that within three months of the effective date of
this Agreement, the City provide signage as necessary to comply with 28 C.F.R.
§ 35.163(b), after having surveyed all facilities that are the subject of
this Agreement for the purpose of identifying those that have multiple
entrances not all of which are accessible.
In order to ensure that each of
the City’s programs, services, and activities operating at a facility that is
the subject of this Agreement, when viewed in its entirety, are readily
accessible to and usable by persons with mobility impairments, the City will
take the following actions:
1.
Under
the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and other initiatives, many of the
facilities addressed in this Attachment are scheduled to be replaced,
substantially renovated, sold, or otherwise disposed of. The City will not be required to make any
modifications otherwise required by this Agreement and its attachments
regarding facilities or elements that will have been replaced or will no longer
be owned or operated by the City within the timeframes set forth in this
Attachment. To ensure that all design
and construction is done in a way to provide full access to City facilities,
programs, and services for persons with disabilities, consistent with available
defenses such as technical infeasibility, for each facility or element that is
substantially renovated or replaced, the City will timely submit to the
Department a full set of plans and construction manuals. The Department will review those plans and,
if modifications are required to bring the facility or element into compliance
with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, the Department will provide
detailed comments to the City. The City
will modify the facility’s or element’s design and construction to conform to
the Department’s comments prior to its being used by the public. This provision applies at least to the
following facilities or to elements of those facilities, and may apply to
others:

Within
24 months of the effective date of this Agreement, the City will complete the
following modifications to the Administrative Building / Miami Riverside
Center, located at 444 S.W. 2nd Avenue:
A.
Parking: Although the parking garage has a total of 600
parking spaces (plus 138 spaces in the lot under the overpass), there is an
inadequate number of spaces designated as reserved for persons with
disabilities. On the shortest
accessible route to the accessible entrance, provide at least 2 van accessible
spaces and 12 standard spaces designated as reserved for people with
disabilities. Standards §§ 4.1.2(5), 4.6, 4.30.7(1).
B.
Accessible
Route: Along the route from the garage to the garage exit, and on various other
floors near the stairs, the wall-mounted telephones protrude 7 inches into the
main walkway and would not be detectable to a blind person using a cane. Provide accessible routes at these locations
such that no objects with their bottom leading edges measuring between 27
inches and 80 inches above the finished floor protrude more than 4 inches into
walks, halls, corridors, passageways, or aisles. Free-standing objects mounted on posts or pylons may overhang 12
inches maximum from 27 inches to 80 inches above the ground or finished
floor. Standards §§ 4.1.2(3), 4.4.
C.
Telephone
(1st Floor - Near Equipment):
The telephone on the 1st floor near the equipment is
inaccessible because it lacks clear floor space and volume control. Provide an accessible telephone with a clear
floor space of at least 30 inches by 48 inches that allows either a forward or
parallel approach by a person using a wheelchair such that bases, enclosures,
and fixed seats do not impede approaches to the telephone; with the highest
operable part of the telephone mounted no more than 48 inches above the floor
for a front approach or no more than 54 inches above the floor for a side
approach; that is hearing aid compatible and has a volume control mechanism;
with telephone books, if provided, located between 15 and 48 inches above the
finished floor for a front approach or between 9 and 54 inches above the
finished floor for a side approach; with a cord of at least 29 inches long from
the telephone to the handset; and with signage that complies with the
Standards. Standards §§ 4.1.3(17),
4.31, 4.30.7(2).
D.
Garage
Elevator: The fire hose cabinet
protrudes into the path of travel more than four inches at a height between 27
and 80 inches and would not be detectable to a blind person using a cane. Provide an accessible route at this location
such that no objects with their bottom leading edges measuring between 27
inches and 80 inches above the finished floor protrude more than 4 inches into
walks, halls, corridors, passageways, or aisles. Free-standing objects mounted on posts or pylons may overhang 12
inches maximum from 27 inches to 80 inches above the ground or finished
floor. Standards §§ 4.1.2(3), 4.4.
E.
Main
Building Elevators: The elevators are
inaccessible because the door reopening devices do not remain effective for at
least 20 seconds. For each, provide
doors that open and close automatically with a reopening device that will stop
and reopen the car door and hoistway door automatically if the door becomes
obstructed by an object or person.
Ensure that the device is capable of completing these operations without
requiring contact for obstructions passing through the opening at heights of 5
inches and 29 inches above the finished floor; that door reopening devices
remain effective for at least 20 seconds, after which the doors may close; that
the minimum time from notification that a car is answering a call until the
doors of that car start to close is 5 seconds; and that the minimum time for
elevator doors to remain fully open in response to a car call is 3
seconds. Standards §§ 4.1.3(5),
4.10.6, 4.10.7, 4.10.8, Figs. 20, 21.
F.
Ramp
at Entrance: The ramp is inaccessible
because the handrails are mounted 32 inches above the finished surface, lack 12
inch extensions, and are mounted a distance of 2 inches from the wall. Provide handrails that are between 1¼ inches
and 1½ inches in diameter with a continuous gripping surface along both sides
of the ramp, extending at least 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of the ramp
parallel with the ground surface.
Ensure that handrails are mounted between 34 inches and 38 inches above
the ramp surface, with ends rounded or returned smoothly to the floor, wall, or
post, and that they do not rotate within their fittings. Standards §§ 4.1.2(1), 4.1.2(2), 4.8.5.
G.
First
Floor Drinking Fountains: Although
drinking fountains accessible to people who use wheelchairs are provided in
this location, there are no drinking fountains provided for people who have
difficulty bending or stooping. For
each accessible drinking fountain, provide a drinking fountain that is
accessible to people who have difficulty bending or stooping. This can be accommodated by the use of a
“hi-lo” fountain; by providing one fountain accessible to those who use
wheelchairs and one fountain at a standard height convenient for those who have
difficulty bending; by providing a fountain accessible to people who use
wheelchairs and a cup dispenser, or by such other means as would achieve the
required accessibility for each group of people. Standards § 4.1.3(10)(a).

alarm devices in toilet rooms and any other general usage areas (e.g., meeting
rooms), hallways, lobbies, and any other area for common use. Such devices shall be integrated into the
facility alarm system and shall meet the requirements of the Standards for lamp
type, color, pulse duration, intensity, and flash rate. Visual alarm appliances shall be placed 80
inches above the highest floor level within the space or 6 inches below the
ceiling, whichever is lower. Visual
alarm appliances shall be located such that no place in any room or space,
including common corridors or hallways, required to have a visual alarm
appliance shall be more than 50 feet from the signal. In large rooms and spaces exceeding 100 feet across, without
obstructions 6 feet above the finished floor, devices may be placed around the
perimeter, spaced a maximum of 100 feet apart, in lieu of suspending appliances
from the ceiling. Standards § 4.28.3.
6.
Most of the
drinking fountains throughout the facility are too high to be used by persons
who use wheelchairs. Ensure that at
least 50% of the drinking fountains have a spout height no higher than 36
inches, measured from the finished floor or ground surface to the spout outlet;
and a spout located at the front of the unit that directs the water flow in a
trajectory that is nearly parallel to the front of the unit and is positioned
so the flow of water is within 3 inches of the front edge of the fountain and
at least 4 inches high. Ensure that
fountain controls are operable with one hand, require 5 lbf or less to operate
without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist; and are front
mounted or side mounted near the front edge.
