I see ambiguity here - are they looking for a surveyor or an engineer/architect?

"Experience in ADA or related civil rights investigations. "

The cynic in me sees an outfit that goes around the state finding ADA violations in public rights-of-way, which are then used as the basis for threats of lawsuits against the agencies in the hope of obtaining settlement money.

I hope I'm wrong...
