Permission is hereby given to reproduce these guidelines. WRAP is a voluntary organization which provide assistance to persons with disabilities utilizing the capabilities of retired technical volunteers, professional engineers, technicians , tradesmen and others.  \n[http://wrapiowa.org/](http://wrapiowa.org/)[ ](http://wrapiowa.org/)Cedar Rapids, Iowa  \nAccessibility Ramp Design and Construction Guidelines  \nWheelchair Ramp Accessibility Program (WRAP) volunteers build accessibility ramps for qualifying individuals and various service agencies in the Linn County, Iowa area. WRAP is primarily focused on providing home access for persons with disabilities of limited income or resources. For those with adequate financial means, a contractor should be contracted for a ramp. The accessibility need is normally identified through the WRAP Intake Coordinator at 319-270-7294 or through a service agency. Available funding depends on the individual qualifications and service agency ability to assist. The cost of a WRAP ramp construction is basically for materials, while the volunteers provide design and construction services at no cost. Each ramp design must be completed on an individual basis to accommodate the home owner, site, building permit requirements and individual needs. As a result, a generic process has been defined which is then applied on an individual basis. This process flow includes the following steps:  \n• Accessibility ramp need identified to WRAP  \n• Funding request  \n• Funding available  \n• Identify ramp designer  \n• Survey site  \n• Design ramp including ramp layout, material list, cut list, and cost  \no Cut list is very important to avoid cutting the wrong boards and ending up short!  \n• Obtain approval from owner and neighborhood authorities (if required)  \n• Obtain building permit (if required)  \n• Ramp build scheduled  \n• Materials ordered and Delivered  \n• Construction crew arranged  \n• Construction of ramp  \n• Notify building department of ramp completion  \nThe project requires a considerable amount of coordination and communication. The steps which usually take the longest calendar time to complete are: Site survey, ramp design, funding arrangement, and scheduling the materials and construction crews. Completion of a ramp project will typically be 4-6 weeks long even though the actual construction is only 1-2 days.  \nThe requirements that must be accommodated in the design of a ramp include:  \n\n| Consideration | Explanation |\n| --- | --- |\n| Home entry | The choice of door to which to run a ramp is influenced by the ease of access within the home to the various doorways, the widths of the doorways, and whether any platforms, stairs or porches already exist to which a ramp could be connected. |\n| Space limitations and obstacles | Many aspects of the design of a ramp are limited by the space available and obstacles (such as trees, buildings, and walkways) that affect where it can be run. Also, where is the lower end of the ramp to be terminated? The lower ramp termination must be on an even surface. This surface doesn’t need to be level, but should have a cross-slope of 1:48 or less. |\n| Building codes | Explicit and implicit code requirements imposed by the city or county. Some cities require a signed permission slip from the owner stating that they want WRAP to build a ramp on their property. |\n| Standard\u003Cbr>practices | Desig","cbCairkemlVDAY7s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairkemlVDAY7s","pdf",3383240,36,"English","# Ramp Program Overview\n## WRAP Funding and Intake Process\n## Ramp Build Timeline\n# Ramp Design Requirements\n## Home Entry and Spatial Constraints\n## Building Codes and Standard Practices\n## Disability-Specific Movement Considerations\n# Landing and Structural Considerations","[{\"question\":\"How does WRAP identify a ramp need and what determines funding availability?\",\"answer\":\"The need is identified through the WRAP Intake Coordinator or a service agency.
