· Janitor's storage room - approximately 60 square feet. In addition to the space allocations outlined above, access to at least a majority of the building's plumbing system should be available by means of a small access corridor or chase. Such access reduces building "down time" and maintenance expense by facilitating rapid repairs. Staff and the consultant both believe that the program described above can be satisfied by either a custom-designed or a manufactured structure. Materials: The City's Support Services Division is knowledgeable regarding the successful maintenance of public restrooms and recommends the following construction materials for durability and ease of maintenance: · Foundation - concrete slab with epoxy coating · Exterior walls - stucco or split-face concrete masonry units (CMU) · Roofing - standing-seam metal or 50-year composite shingle (no clay or concrete tile). A built-up membrane roofing system is also acceptable. · Interior walls (if applicable) of concrete block, epoxy coated · Toilet partitions - utilizing ceiling-hung hardware (to facilitate maintenance); solid polyurethane composition · Toilets and sinks - Sloan fixtures; porcelain is preferred Naturally, a custom structure can be designed utilizing the recommended materials; however, prefabricated structures are also available that could satisfy this list (although non-standard pricing would apply). Aesthetics: This is the most subjective of the proposed building's requirements, but as noted earlier, an attractive building with a look of permanence and civic quality is desired. Obviously, much more creativity and site specific "fit" can be achieved with the design of a custom structure. Delucchi Park is a relatively narrow area, and a restroom building located at its southern end could conceivably provide a "front entrance" on both the W. Angela Street and First Street sides. Such a layout is easily accomplished with a custom design, but may be impossible to achieve with one of the manufactured units. Nevertheless, prefabricated building manufacturers provide attractive, durable products in a variety of standard layouts that both staff and the consultant agree would prove quite satisfactory in this location. Project Costs: Construction. The most recent City constructed restroom buildings were in Val Vista Community Park. The two (2) public restrooms were constructed there for an average cost of approximately $230/square foot (S.F.) - exclusive of infrastructure (such as sanitary sewer, water, electrical), and related water/sewer connection fees. Considering that the Val Vista project was bid in early 2002, it is appropriate to add approximately 12% to this figure to SR 05:126 Page 3
