FINANCIAL STATEMENT The anticipated total expenditure for this project is $2,304,000, including a construction contingency of $99,985. Current funding for the project is $1,200,000 with a budget shortfall of $1,104,000. Staff is recommending City Council reallocate $50,000 from the Repair and Replacement Fund and appropriate $1,054,000 from the CIP General Fund Reserve to complete the funding for this project. BACKGROUND The Dolores Bengston Aquatic Center (DBAC) is located at 4455 Black Avenue (see Attachment 1 for the location of the facility). The DBAC locker rooms were built in 1996/97. The approximately 2,600 combined square feet that make up the men's and women's locker rooms are within a slab-on-grade, masonry walled building. The interior of the building is standard wood and drywall construction, with the exception of each communal shower area which is also masonry block walls. The interior finishes of the facility are showing their age and are very difficult to maintain and keep clean. The existing lockers are small and do not meet current demands; the communal shower area water fixtures and drain system require a considerable amount of maintenance; the lighting in both locker rooms is not bright enough for current standards; there are water ponding issues in each locker room and in the foyer immediately outside the locker rooms; and the fencing/gates around the entire facility does not meet current code requirements. On May 2, 2017, City Council awarded a design professional services agreement to Arch-Pac, Inc. to provide architectural design and construction support services for the DBAC Locker Room Renovation project. Based on the design, this project provides private, compartmental showers with ADA shower stalls for both the men's and women's locker rooms. It will also upgrade and elevate the feel of the entire facility with the replacement of the counters with integral sinks, new restroom partitions, lockers and tiled walls. The project will also replace the concrete floors to address the water ponding issues. All underground plumbing will be replaced when the concrete floor is removed. Lighting for each locker room will be replaced and a new HVAC system will be installed. This project will also address the perimeter gate/access by replacing all perimeter fencing. The number of showers required is determined by the Alameda County Health Services Department, and is based upon the square footage of the pool area. Replacing the communal style showers in the locker rooms with private compartmentalized showers decreases the number of shower heads possible inside each locker room. Therefore, two banks of "on-deck" showers will be constructed to meet the code required number of showers for the facility (six standard and one ADA adjacent to the 50-meter pool; five standard and one ADA adjacent to the 25-yard lap pool). The exterior showers are also seen as an improvement by patrons of the facility, as well as the aquatic center staff. DISCUSSION Bids The Architect's estimate for the project was $1,600,000. Sealed bids were opened on May 2, 2018. A total of six bids were received that ranged from $1,990,000 to $2,943,374 (see Attachment 2). The lowest responsible bid was received from Saboo, Page 2 of 4
