Other Considerations
Alternative 1: Delayed/No Action (Not Recommended)
Cost Implication: Potential reduced costs for avoided work but potential for increased costs related to
enforcement of Settlement Agreement.
Pros:    (1) Preserve Port capital funding and resources for other priority projects and financial initiatives
Cons:   (1) Would not comply with the Port's agreement to address ADA concerns.
(2) Could potentially increase safety risk to customers and visitors.
Alternative 2: Proceed with construction of the structural improvements as
proposed, contracting through Port Construction Services small works
contracts (Recommended)
Cost Implication: Requires allocation of $850,000 in the Capital Plan.
Pros:    (1) Comply with the Port's agreement to address ADA concerns within the committed timeframe.
Cons:   (1) Limited temporary construction impacts.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
