CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF May 16.2000 TO: Honorable City Council APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City Manage A / FROM: Ronald C. Kenny, Director of Parks, Recreation & Family Services SUBJECT: Approval To Solicit Request For Proposals To Hire A General Contractor For The Construction Of A Restroom Facility In Cesar Chavez Park DATE: May 9, 2000 On November 23, 1999, the City of Colton entered into an agreement with the architectural firm of Gary W. Miller, AIA for the design of a restroom facility in Cesar Chavez Park. The proposed restrooms would stand on the present location of the park's existing restrooms. The design has been completed and has been approved by the City's Parks & Recreation Commission, the Community Development Department and the County of San Bernardino. The County's approval was required based on partial funding of the project through the Community Development Block Grant program. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The design calls for a 900 square foot restroom building with two lavatories and five water closets/urinals in both the men's/women's room. The interior/exterior will be a combination of slump stone block and wood painted tan in color. Both of these materials lend themselves to easy graffiti removal by painting as needed. All fixtures inside the building will be stainless steel to detour vandalism. Partitions will be made of a solid plastic, easy care material virtually impervious to graffiti and vandalism. The architect has provided documents necessary to prepare the bid package. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for the project totals $126,000, ($90,000 from Park Development and $36,000 from CDBG). The contractor estimates the cost of the project at $113,000. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Request for Proposals be issued for the purpose of hiring a general contractor for the construction of a restroom facility in Cesar Chavez Park.
