Scope for a sidewalk ADA retrofit includes landscaping a distant park that has no accessibility connection to the sidewalk work. What is the appropriate critique?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
ADA sidewalks and a faraway park makeover are different jobs. Unrelated landscaping is out-of-scope baggage—cut it so the retrofit stays focused on accessibility.
Full Explanation
Scope should include only work required to achieve the project’s objectives. Landscaping a distant park unrelated to sidewalk accessibility is an out-of-scope inclusion that should be excluded or pursued separately. Expanding or re-labeling the effort does not justify mixing unrelated work into the ADA retrofit.
