The total program cost of the architectural plan with ADA specifications is $13,500. This
plan is a gateway to the eventual construction of ADA compliant entrances and
restrooms, which may cost approximately $200,000. Approximately 3000+ people per
year attend events in this historic Saratoga building, and because of the Public Lecture
Series and memorial services, the building serves an older population who need better
accessibility. Since accessibility is an ongoing benefit, over 10 years 30,000 people
would use the clubhouse at a cost of less than $.50 per person for the cost of the
architectural plan.
Use of the Clubhouse does not lend itself to meaningful numerical assessment, but the
bottom line is the need for compliance with current ADA requirements for buildings used
by the public. It is the right thing to do, but also avoids the cost of a potential lawsuit
when a guest sues over ADA non-compliance. The caterer handling our weddings reports
that several brides liked the facility but had relatives or guests who need an ADA
compliant facility.
