Reasons for Waiver Request, Justification: In order to meet current ADA standards, the City of Everett was required to design a bridge structure that allowed those with physical disabilities to access the bridge safely on either end of the bridge. This was accomplished by utilizing the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design for the design of the bridge structure. The east end of the bridge will have an ADA compliant ramp to allow pedestrian foot traffic from the City of Everett owned park on Grand Avenue. The west end of the bridge is on Port of Everett property and a ramp design for pedestrians was not feasible due to the amount of property needed to install a ramp system at this property constrained, waterfront location. Instead, the west bridge end was designed with an elevator tower, serving as the west bridge abutment to allow bridge egress and ingress at the west end of the span. It has been determined through rigorous research and by contacting virtually every elevator firm in the country, that there is not a domestic option available for 100%made in America steel and iron used for elevator construction. Information obtained from elevator firms in the northwest and nationwide revealed that the elevator machine, elevator rails, and miscellaneous steel and iron components are produced mostly or in part out of the country, specifically China or Canada. The efforts of the Grand Avenue Park Bridge Contractor, Interwest Construction Inc., are detailed in a letter dated November 27, 2017 (attached), as are the efforts of our project consultant construction management firm, KBA (attached letter 11/27/2017), and City of Everett Correspondence (attached emails 12/4/2017, 12/6/2017).
