    The project at the American Embassy in Vienna involves alterations to the terrace side deck for Accessibility Compliance under the U.S. Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). Key activities include demolishing existing travertine, constructing a new ramp and terrace edge using reinforced concrete, and adjusting garden features accordingly. Compliance with both U.S. and Austrian construction standards is required. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment, ensuring quality and safety throughout the project. The timeline indicates a continuous four-week completion period, with specific breakdowns for demolition and construction phases.

    The ADA-Compliant Ramp Checklist outlines essential criteria for constructing ramps that meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The checklist covers various aspects, including the maximum slope of 1:12, which mandates that for every inch of vertical rise, the ramp must extend at least 12 inches horizontally. The total ramp length is determined by the height difference from the ground to the door, ensuring compliance with the slope ratio. Specific guidelines indicate that for every additional 30 feet of ramp, a resting platform is required, and platforms should measure a minimum of 60 inches by 60 inches. Handrails must be at least 24 inches longer than the ramp, with a minimum clearance of 36 inches between them. Safety features such as balusters, spaced no more than 4 inches apart, and a guardrail of at least 42 inches in height are also mandated.
