Grievance Procedure under the Americans with Disabilities Act

A grievance with respect to matters other than employment should be in writing and contain information about the alleged discrimination such as the name, address, and contact number of the complainant and the location, date, and description of the problem. Alternative means of filing complaints, such as personal interviews or a tape recording of the complaint, will be made available for persons with disabilities upon request. The complaint should be submitted by the complainant or the complainant’s designee as soon as possible but no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the alleged violation to:

Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the complaint, the ADA Coordinator or his or her designee will contact the complainant to discuss the complaint and the possible resolutions. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of this contact, the ADA Coordinator or his or her designee will respond in writing, and where appropriate, in format accessible to the complainant, such as large print, Braille, or audio tape. The response will explain the position of the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services and offer options for resolution of the complaint.

The grievant or the grievant's designee may appeal the decision by the ADA Coordinator or his or her designee within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the response by mail to:
