- Description
- The National Council on Disability (NCD) is an independent federal agency charged with making recommendations to Congress and the Administration on issues, policies, and laws affecting people with disabilities. NCD is responsible for gathering information about the implementation, effectiveness, and impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). NCD's work in this area over the last three years has focused on identifying the problems or gaps in ADA implementation and on understanding what factors enhance or impede ADA implementation. In the 2003-2004 "Righting the ADA" project, NCD analyzed the effects of unfavorable Supreme Court interpretations in ADA cases, and developed legislative recommendations for restoring the ADA to its original intent. NCD is currently conducting an ADA Impact Study, gathering information about the impact of the ADA and determining whether the goals of the ADA are being achieved. Building on findings from this earlier work, NCD would like to bring together ADA stakeholders for input into developing recommendations on how to improve the implementation of the ADA and how to make the goals of the ADA a reality for individuals with disabilities. The contractor will establish a mechanism whereby ADA stakeholders, including individuals with disabilities, businesses, employers, state and local governments, and federal agencies, can have a national dialogue on ADA implementation and examine strategies for more effectively implementing the ADA. The contractor must demonstrate the ability to successfully identify, and reach out to, relevant stakeholders, to facilitate consensus building among groups with different perspectives and interests, and to assist NCD in developing an effective public information and awareness campaign. Based on the stakeholder input, the contractor will prepare a final report to contain specific recommendations for improving implementation of the ADA. The estimated contract period is 12 months. NCD will distribute its Americans with Disabilities Act Implementation Project Request for Proposals (RFP) to interested parties on May 15, 2005. NCD will expect interested parties to submit their responses by June 20, 2005. Copies of the RFP may be requested by mail or picked up at NCD on or after the issue date of May 15, 2005. All requests must reference the RFP number and title. For more information, contact Julie Carroll, jcarroll@ncd.gov, 1331 F Street, NW, Suite 850, Washington, DC 20004; 202-272-2004 or 202-272-2074 TTY.
